I have bought an hunchback 4-G . I have searched on the website meta mechs for a good build. But the problem is that it doesnt show the Double heatsink and where i have to place them. And if i select ferro fibrous (included in the build) i dont have any space for it. Thats why i ask if someone knows a good build for it and can show it on smurfys. I wanted to make ac/20 my prime weapon and 2 medium lasers as my secondary. But if you have any other ideas for a build you can also post it

Check out this forum, where you'll find threads with different builds.

To address some of your issues, the 4G's AC20 takes up a lot of weight and space, and it can be difficult to fit other large items like ferro and double heatsinks. I think you're looking for something like this, maybe with one less medium laser exchanged for ammo or a heatsink.

I'm sorry, I don't have a smurfy link, but I think I understand what's going on.

There is a selection panel where you choose Ferro, Endo, Double Heatsinks. Select Endo and Double Heatsinks. Ferro should be off. Then add your 2 medium lasers where you want, and your AC20. Put your ammo in your head and legs (3 tons). If you have leftover tonnage, drag double heatsinks from the Equipment tab onto your mech, preferably in your torsos or engine if you are using a big enough engine (250+ is recommended).

I hope that helps.

The problem is that ferro is included IN the buid

I cant see the heat sinks in the build which would make my heat unmanegable

I actually prefer something like this build myself. The dual uac 5 makes an excellent replacement for an ac20. You could manage the same thing with a stock engine, but you'd be waay light on the ammo. HBK-4G, Dual UACs.

Most mechs have 10 heatsinks built into the engine. You don't necessarily need more than those. If you look at the left side bar in the Smurfy link, you'll notice it says the heat efficiency is 42%; that's actually pretty good. My personal rule of thumb is anything above 35% is just fine.

Never knew that. I kept looking for the heat sinks because i couldnt see it

No worries, there are a lot of layers here.

The longer explanation about heatsinks is:

All engines come with internal heatsinks. Engines below 250 only have 1 heatsink for every increment of 25 rounded down, e.g. an engine from 225 to 245 only has 9 internal heatsinks, while a 250 has 10 internal heatsinks. All mechs are required to carry a minimum of 10 heatsinks, so generally this means you want to have a minimum engine rating of 250.

Engines above 250 do not gain internal heatsinks, rather they get a heatsink slot for every increment of 25. For example, a 275 to 295 engine gets one extra slot for you to install a heatsink, by dragging it onto the engine. The main benefit is you aren't penalized for the size of the heatsink, though you do need to have account for the weight.

Engine heatsinks are also affected by whether you mech has single or double heatsinks.
