I don't know how you'll feel about my Warhawk build, but I love it. I have over a 2.0 KDR in the thing. Here's what I use:

If you want, you can move both ERPPCs into one arm and the LPLs into the other arm if you want to make it a little less symmetrical and a little more poke friendly. Also, if the leftover .30 tons or lack of AMS bothers you, you can sacrifice a little bit of heat efficiency by losing one heat sink and shaving of 8 points of head armor for an AMS and one ton of ammo for it.

Even better, cheat a bit of armor and stick in a TC1. And by all means put two PPCs in one arm, two LPLs in the other. Also, 10 back armor is too much.

5 cERLLs with a monster TC and packed with cDHS is funny. It's not the most effective thing you can do, but it's funny

[Domenoth]

• 4 ER PPCs (basically the stock PRIME minus LRM)
  
• 2 LPL 1 Ultra AC/20

[Metus regem]

I generally use one of three builds on mine, depending on my mood..


When I want to be sure I murder the target:

WHK-PRIME

I've got really good personal accuracy with PPC's, so I'm not afraid to use them.

WHK-PRIME

A classic WUB-hawk


WHK-PRIME

for precision shooting, warring not a serious build, but I did ping a running Locust at 600-ish meters with this build, killed that bug outright.

[Water68]

Thank You guys for reading this topic but any feedback on my build? I like to keep the stock armor because I suck with messing with the armor.

Edit:
Anyone noticed the Warhawk-C Is exactly like Ranna Kerensky's mech? Since they both have dual ERPPCs and dual LLs

I don't run the warhawk so I wouldn't know, but, what made me post is the fact you are a wolf using a surats name for a clan mech.

The build looks good. Personally, I'd take off the MPL from the gauss arm and replace it with either two more heat sinks (3 medium pulses generate heat quite quickly so the faster you can get rid of it the better) or a targeting computer mkII for juicy crit-seeking and zoom bonuses. Also, I would really recommend adjusting the armour. At most you should have 8 or 9 on the rear torsos (side and centre). It's just a matter of counting a few clicks, not exactly assembly-level computer programming
WHK-B That's how I'd set it up

I like classic Wubhawk (4 Lpls)

alternatively I run this:

WHK-C

The Large Pulses burn duration synchs nicely with the Gauss charge, giving you a 41 dmg shot at long ranges if you keep your aim steady. Mlas for extra alpha potential at mid/short range. Almost 8 dps when only using the Lpl+Gauss.

Taking a bit armor of the left arm leaves you with bonus armor actually thanks to that nice +21 armor quirk on the ballistic arm.

Sometimes when I fell like lurming I use something like this:

WHK-B

Can chainfire that lerms all day long and sometimes shoot open components with a nice dual Large Pulse.
Up close and end of the match just use the lasers for a full laser vomit.

Personally, I run the classic 4 ERPPC build the way Masakaris were meant to be. (trade the LRM rack for more heat sinks).
As for your given build, you have a lot of SRM ammo. If you're going to use the -B, then know that The Masakari somewhat has a reputation for being a decent clan missile boat so mounting LRMs over SRMs would probably be better. If you really want SRMs over LRMs, then I'd recommend standard SRMs instead of streaks. And if you REALLY want SSRMs over SRMs, then maybe consider a BAP so you can get locks inside of ECM but frankly I don't think SSRMs are the way to go. The last thing I'd recommend is armor. Shave off the head first down to 12 (maybe 8 if you wanna push it) and then legs. Max your CT armor and move more of it to the front. I only keep 5 pts of armor on my rear since I play at range and that has yet to come back and bite me. Just always know what's going on around you (good advice in general) and mount a seismic sensor to help.

[Water68]

Ok Dr RedCoat here it is with LRMs

and here without streaks

Personally I'd drop the gauss for an ultra10 and upgrade the ssrm4s to ssrm6s. With a mostly shorter range build, I feel like you will be shaken too much from enemy weapon fire to make best use of that gauss, and it won't pay off sniping against erll/cl.lpl builds either.

4mpl, 3ssrm6 w/ 2.5t ammo, uac10 w/3t ammo... Masa-kodiak?

I think I actually like your SRM build better. Poke with the gauss rifle until you can close and then let the lasers and missiles rip.

To whom it may concern:

Dakka/Splat: WHK-B

I would have changed the srm ammo around like this:

[Exard3k]

2x UAC20 and lots of Ammo. Awesome.
