What you did..... I love it.... I'm loving the VTR-9S.

It feels soooooooo gooooooood.........

[FupDup]

It's probably the fairly huge agility quirks. 25% ballistic velocity helps.

[Deathlike]

Velocity and range were buffed... just like the older Victor-dakka days...

[Jun Watarase]

I was actually interested in trying the victor again then i realised that the AC20 variant doesnt have any medium laser relevant quirks which is...really odd....given that most mechs have quirks that apply to weapons in their stock loadout.

Screw those.... This is the only acceptable non-Dragonslayer build.

No Artemis.

Maybe replace the SRM6's with ASRM4? It also helps deal with the mech's limited missile tubes (only 5 tubes on second launcher and 2 tubes on third).

MY enforcer has bigger balls than the Victor.

having your 3xSRM4 actually group decently (most of the time) doesn't hurt, either.

Still needs a ST buff, IMO, though.

the correct way to VTR
VTR-9S
less paper alpha... more focused useful damage, less heat, faster cycle time, and a bigger engine. Also more ammo efficient.

They come out in three volleys and FEEL tight, but I dunno... I just like the three Six Packs. They just work.

I'll try that one later tonight so see how it goes. Prior to tonight, I got better performance out of the SRM6s. BUT SCIENCE!

Was my go to loadout before poptarts ruined VTRs for everyone. And still what mine is set to. IMO, it is the most efficient brawling config of the VTR.

Need a 6 a 4 and a 2 to get max tubes still...WHY PGI!?!?

I think i need to go get in one NAOW!

I remember when they first came out there was a way to finagle a 6, 4, and 2 to all come out at once. But I haven't the magic touch anymore.

[Gas Guzzler]

I just wish it had 6 tubes per launcher

yeah. The 2 tube is still annoying as heck.... I remember going to the 6/4/2, but then to a 4-4-2. But I decided I didn't like the different cooldowns.

I'd be happy if it just had at least 4 on all 3.

I don't understand why it's been like that since Day 1.

It's a mystery to everyone.

[Mcgral18]

I preferred a 6+6+4 missile setup. 2 waves then away.


Of course, it may be well over a year since I've used it...SRMs have been sad for so long.

The SRM 4 cooldown modules or course gets it closer but yea i agree, the cooldowns being off by so much is wonky when you get twisting and stuff. Start launching those last missiles at friendlies and walls.

4 on all 3 or 6 on 2, either way id be fine with it.

Then again, better be careful what we wish for...

You see what they did to the Commando?! Poor little fella got his arm mangled! I wont even get in one again with that lunchbox hanging off my arm. I'm sure the ST on the VTR would get the same VCR and duct tape treatment. Dynamic Weapons Treatment.


Also...i could have sworn i put two jj's on this thing but all i see is special effect flames with no lift? Maybe my mechanic was drunk?
