Wondering if this build would work..?

DWF-S theory Build

The Idea is to brawl of course. Though to I guess try to get crits and be more spread on the damage, with out worrying too much on targeting. I suspect its a bad build since its using 2x LB20-x And spreading the SRM-6x3 out. Probably not enough Ammo either..

Also tried to remove as many penalties off the DWF as possible. And currently the DWF-S is the only DWF I own. So trying to revolve my builds around that mech while trying to earn the C-bills for other versions to improve. (I'm too poor to buy mechs with real cash )

Considered using 4x UAC5 But I don't know if it would fit enough Ammo that way.

4 uac5 will fit enough ammo, in fact one of the all time champ builds is 3uac52uac10

Try switching the LBX20s out for 3uac10s keep the srms if you must, keep the headlaser if you must.

MIght I suggest keeping just the one lbx 20? Maybe going with a five for the rest, something like... This? Gives you a low heat ranged right side, not much, but since you've ranged over there, you can swap the laser for something more brawly.

So, Hit damage left side smackdown, low damage constant refire right side suppression.

I guess I didn't mention it in my original post. The laser chosen was only because of having weight to spare and no slots remaining. That and having the energy weapon at least gives you a weapon to shoot when the Arm and Torso slots are blown off. (Happens to me a lot >.<)
Also, is the Targeting computer pointless?
I would have thought with a Shotgun style mech like the original Idea would have been good with the Targeting Comp.

Though the UAC5 build could be doable as well. Just concerns me because of available slots for Ammo.
Would that be enough ammo?

Also for the Multi LBX build, wouldn't that mean that you wouldn't have enough slots for enough ammo?

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty new, but I've been enjoying this build for long - medium range firefights
DWF-PRIME

I sometimes switch out the 4 MLs for 6 SLs and an extra heat sink, but I'm not sure yet.

What do you guys think?

Do you have enough C-bills to buy the other omnipods? If so the build right off metamechs is potent as can be- http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6f6c008a23ce5ff

No offense, looks pretty awful to me. Direwolves are bad brawlers IMO. You'll be a sitting duck for the first mech to find you if they are more than 300 meters out.

You could absolutely run quad AC5's and lasers with great effect. Quad AC10 is outstanding too, and a ton of fun to play if you like dakka.

Oh the Flame Thrower/Machine gun build was more of a troll then anything.. just something to do for S&G's.

Was referring to the theory build. Sorry

Starting to wonder just how much Front to Rear armor you actually need typically in a DWF in general..
