I have 75 mechs on this account.
5 of them carry 2xAMS (Firestarter, Locust, Wolfhound, Jester, Black Knight)
1 of them carries 1xAMS (CTF-4X)
69 are without AMS

I have a Clan account with 46 mechs.
1 of them carries 3xAMS (Nova)
45 of them are without AMS.

I just don't find a single AMS to be worthwhile. Maybe if they were effective against SRMs, I would equip them more often.

How about you?

If in a given night I find myself fighting in the shade, I equip AMS.

If I am not finding I am fighting in the shade a lot I don't.

Zero. I prefer they waste their LRM ammo into the ground and buildings due to Radar Derp instead of me wasting my AMS ammo tonnage shooting their missiles down...

The only time lrms are threatening is when you are in a slow assault, out of position and 3 to 5 enemy lrm carriers concentrate their fire on you. Ams wouldnt help in that situation either way :)

Dual AMS or bust. Maybe a couple super slow assaults with tonnage to spare.

LRM is a non issue for me, cover op, mech driving is lost tech. Posted Image

Out of 150+ mechs, virtually none outside of the dual AMS mechs (and even those are not guaranteed to carry it).

I have 312 mechs and an extensive inventory of parts. I sell AMS whenever I end up owning it, I'm just annoyed I can't sell the ammo. It's garbage.

I have 1 mech with ams, and it has 3 - Uller. Of course I never actually use it. I have like 50 mechs total.

All my mechs that have two or more AMS slots equip them + AMS overload. Certain mechs lacking slots but not tonnage also equip single AMS.
