I'll post it, although I know I will face seething hate from you, Alister, and Juodas .

The UM-63(S) is 1 ERPPC, 2 SLasers, 3 MGs with an XL170, DHS, and I think 4 JJs.

Now the real hate...
UM-60L is 3LLasers with XL170, DHS, and no JJs

I know, I'm real Urbie scum. I won't apologize for my R63(S) though, I love that thing no matter what scores I get. Besides, the ERPPC gives the arm a nice barrel effect .

ERPPC is ok from me..... Allistair and Joudas I can't speak for....... 3x LL........ I'll get back to you.......gotta talk to my Anger Management Counselor.....

I must say, that i prefer on my urbies as much possible constant fire (close combat), then 1x ac10, then wait....

I find having a mix, works best.... for as long as possible stick to the PP-FLD, but have some bite in case something pushes for facetime or you see an opportunity.

Though, I think my best numbers might be on my LPL/ML/4xMG Dawg ...... but have to check (just wish the LPL had an appropriate sized casing/barrel.

It just runs 3 LLasers so well. It stays pretty cool too. I wouldn't mind running a ballistic, but it just does it so well. The only thing that would make it perfect is if I could squeeze in 1 JJ and keep it over 100kph.

I suppose I do know why the damage numbers are higher on the 60L. The 63(S) is more FLD orientated with the ERPPC than the 60L.

Despite the despicable laser build, I am huge Urbie supporter! My Urbie devotion has to atleast help a bit

What kind of sick person actually tries to keep it OVER 100kph?!

Also seems im the only one , that runs urbies with AMS, right ? I dunno, for me its a must to survive my wondering round the map. When your ecm cover get somewhere else, youll be terminated in a second from lrms...

AMS?
Never leave the Mechbay without one. Especially if you're not running "MAX SPEED META URBIE".

Well. That is, as long as there's enough room for it, after you slap in a AC10 with as much ammo as you can cram into it.

But the Urbie's profile is sooo small that any LRM non A-LRM-5 will barely hit you due to spread! haha
It might help against streak-boats, but not much...

That's why I liked the 1ERPPC (FLD) and 2 SLasrrs with 3 MGs (someone pushes for face time).

When leveling I had to run a PPC instead (ER a bit too hot before 2x basics). I ran the 2 SLasers and 3 MGs for under 90m protection. Once I went to an ERPPC, I kept it for short range heat management. It works well for me, and I have achieved some great numbers with it too (despite the ehh avg numbers I posted earlier). It's mostly bevause lights in general for me either go well or horribly wrong.

um... did you ever saw.... LRM spam live ?

i mean 4,5,6 LRM5 constantly firing, till you die, no matter tonnage.

The last 3 days I've played as a wingman for a LRM-spam lady. It was fun to watch fatties on open fields being lurmed to death by her, but lights in general tends to run away safely, unless they're legged or using a STD 60

truth be told, I probably see substantial LRMs once every 10 matches or so. Urbie can use dang near anything as cover, so I never feel the need. I don't think I've been LRM'd to death in my Urbie yet.

Your ELO is probably too high for that.

I'm writhing along with the Steering-wheel crowd and LRM Atlases and i've been killed by LRMs a few times. Mostly because i'd get stuck on terrain or a friendly mech that decided to hump me.

Dunno, if I was to try to describe my Elo, I'd have to say it's a yoyo. Sometimes I seem to be with the big dogs, but all too often my team acts like it has even qualified for steering wheels.
