Or Nova with, well, at least a functional armament

I plan on running around in my Hellbringers and D-DC for a bit. Hopefully those ECMs will make chicken salad out of chicken crap.

Probably gonna hate it when my ECM shielded Tempest sneaks up on ya and drills your kidneys with 3xLPL and 2xSRM4.

Why would you ever play the Archer as a LRM mech. It's looking to be a very strong SRM heavy, something that IS lacks a bit at the moment.

Can think of several reasons. But the most prominent would be the Mad Dog STs sans the Mad Dog Clan XL.

i think i may be among a brave/insane few who may try to build a energy Archer.

My question would be why waste money on an Archer Pack, to build something you could do better on a Grasshopper or Black Knight (or Thunderbolt, even)?

[Clownwarlord]

The great debate are lrms good or not ... in truth they require team work, so good luck. I will be piloting a 35 ton narcing bass-tard for all the lrm herds. That way I make bank

I, for one, am looking forward to the 15th.

35ton mech -> Raven 3L -> Check
ECM -> Raven 3L -> Check
Narc -> Raven 3L -> Check
Narc Module -> Check

Ready for March 15th? Yes.

If you get there before the Arctic Cheetahs, then you deserve the kill!

because i'll have One for LRM, one for SRM and one for S-SRM. that leaves two spare for funsies builds.

as a LRM missile ***** myself:

pure LRM builds are bad, and TAGs are your friends.... and Artemis + TAG makes you drill through the guy's CT fast enough to make him whine on the forums for a week

I for one am far more scared of the Archers SRM potential, than its LRM potential.

Shhh. You'll scare away the easy pray. We be huntin' Anti Missle snobs.

My archer will have 6 aSRM2 and 3 aSRM6, to avoid ghost heat on my alphas. And I will laugh as it will be supreme... or fail miserably

Your mech has 6 extra tons simply to guide srm2s more effectively...

Might need a rethink

5x RM2, 4x SRM4, mebbe. Better ROF; and more than tight enough clusters.

[Anyone00]

I am ready.

Seeing that my KTO-GB often gets mistaken for a dedicated LRM team, I believe the original .gif can prove quite accurate .

Well without dedicated narcers they(LRMs) are not really scary, more like easy kills.

Thank you for the reminder. I've created an Outlook event for March 15th: Pull narc'ing MLX out of storage.
