Six AC/2 is my dream build (and Mack1 will be glad, that's what he did with his JM6-DD, you remember the "Dakka-Video"?) and 90 tons will be enough to realize that.
Or four LBX 10 if this is possible... I love these shotgun monsters.
(damn, all hardpoints in the side torsi)
And for sure, I'm interested if the Mauler will be an interesting LRM boat. We'll see...
I love you.
Okay, that out of the way- Mack1 was my most fave MW: O lets player ever and the saddest day in MW: O was not when my family like unit died- not when the unit was on the death bed and all the creative content they done and events went away and I felt like I joined to late. Not when clans are oddly ballanced and not when I learned the hunchback 4N , Victor 9a, etc is not gonna be added soon. or lastly the fact the kodiak only has 1 build.
The saddest day was when Mack1 went from what I knew and love him- to a rant bout about barely relevant topics- this was okay up until most of it was just sarcastic playing MW: O and ranting- you can tell that he doesn't enjoy the game as much any more. You can tlel by how he talks, plays, and rarely he does the MW videos that he doesn't enjoy it and is done...
I remember the dakka video quite well- I watched it many times and actually watched it earlier this week. I will remember those days... sigh... I wish there is someone else kinda like him to watch... theb33f and fantastic tuesday mainly go along the lines of funny content and not serious... kinda... Side strafe doesn't give me the feel and also I have mixed feelings to war thunder which he uploads more often so seeing that in my subscription box doesn't make me feel to well. If you know somebody I wouldn't mind a link... or if you have a youtube channel I would kind of like it see it.
Anyway, 6 AC 2 was my plan- was more inspiration along the lines of alex height from Mechwarrior 4 where his 'hero' mauler had 6 x UAC 2 (IS ones) so I just dumbed it down for MW: O.so this will be one of the first builds I will try as it will benefit both of us
And for 4 x LBX 10... this is still possible, remember the atlas can put 2 in 1st... you can put 4 with 4 tons of ammo... however you can lower the arm armour and maybe do some other ticks to squeeze more ammo in- maybe 2-3 more tons at best unless a engine downgrade is required- well this may make it as slow as a direwolf with a build the direwolf can do but with UAC 10's and er medium lasers.
LRM boat mauler? I can easily see 4 x LRM 15 or 4 x LRM 20. (assuming the 2nd launchers can do 20 tubes) making it the lightest IS mech to reliably do 4 x LRM 20. the only other mech that can do this without tube count ruining it is the.... -thinks hard-.... actually no... clans can do it on any mech that can hold it as no matter how little tubes clans have- it's only visuals, it doesn't imapct the max salvo at all due to stream. (this mean 6 x LRM 15 is a fun JM6-DD equivalent of clan LRM boat)
I want to do duel LRM 15 or 20 on my maulers so far as a stock+ standard but the idea of having multiple missiles also tickles my interest.
