While I'm at it, I just had a personal best... I'm sure many of you may do this all the time, but this was my first time breaking 1k, w/ a match score of 666 no less, so I'm posting it.

Also, not to be harping or anything, but have the same weapons. Having two different autocannons can really hurt you in the long run if Ammo A to Gun A is destroyed, and it's the last of it, as opposed to having all the same ammo and weapon.
Just my bit on what could improve.

My Kodiak 3 has an XL 380, 4 uac 10s, 9.5 tons of ammo. Has Double HS, Endo and Ferro. This is one assault where using ferro is an advantage, more tons for ammo.

I think that targeting computer is just taking up too much space and weight, that's a lot of xl engine you could add if you drop it.

Fair enough, I just assumed he had doubles and endo as that is the standard.

XL375 4xUAC10 660 bullets Runs really hot but can core anything out in a few shots.
XL 375 2xUAC10 2xUAC5 and 4SPL
Doesn't run as hot as 4 UAC10s but doesn't quite core something out as fast either. The lasers are mainly for killing lights but when you're out of ammo you'll be glad you brought them.
Don't put AC10s on, either replace when with UAC5s or UAC10s, the whole point is to double tap, it already fires like an AC10 when you hold down the trigger or wait for the cooldown so there is no benefit to bringing an AC10.
Ghost heat eats a lot of the DPS so the combo of UAC5/10 is very effective.

Sorry, just to clarify, I do have Endo already.

Good point. I could see that happening, and I'll keep an eye on it, but so far it hasn't been a problem. My reasoning was to take advantage of the UAC10 weapon modules, and burst damage of the Ultras, while maintaining the reliability of the regulars, and so far it has worked well for me. I'll definitely bear that in mind, and keep an eye on it. I do appreciate the feedback.
Edit: OK, so I just found out the UACs only jam while double-tapping... I may have to take your advice. Thank you!

Dig the builds. My concern w/ going all Ultras was they seem to lock up so much... but maybe there is something I am missing? Do they only lock up when you double-tap?
I considered throwing on some SPLs, but I have a hard time thinking I'm getting my moneys worth vs. an extra 60 shots of AC10. I have run out, not often, but when I DO run out, it's not without putting a LOT of dmg on the table, and I have to wonder if I'd really throw up as much, compromising on ammo.

Changing the AC/10s to UAC10/s saves you 2 slots, which actually becomes pretty important when taking Ferro for the 3 tons you can use for ammo, engine, more heatsinks or backup lasers
Possibly.
Am I wasting my time w/ AMS?

Yes an no, If you can handle having AMS over more ammo or equipment, then you are alright.
Oh how I can count the times I've been in an assault with no AMS support...
And you're welcome for before, if you used multiple different autocannons like the dakka wolf could (aka Dire Wolf), then more power to you on variation of autocannons.

Consider the locking up as heat control. It is going to happen and when it does you dont overheat as quickly.

Well, it seems I've been under an incorrect assumption that the UACs jam whether you're double-tapping or not, so it sounds like I probably SHOULD go w/ all Ultras, and just change my approach a bit. Thanks again, I think I'll take it.
