Hunchie, tried and true and still good at what it does

[CD0UG]

i feel like only havin 2 lasers, and just the ac20.. seems too bare, and like not enough to it? i was looking an enforcer build with up to 4 medium lasers with it.. was still trying to tinker how to keep a decent speed STD engine, and fit enough ammo, and the weapons with sufficient cooling... its a head scratcher lol

For arm-mounted AC20s I would suggest the Centurion -AH or -YLW over the Enforcer-4P. I run both Centurions and Enforcers and I do much better in the CN9-AH. It has a lower engine cap, but having missiles for secondaries keeps heat lower so you can keep that AC20 firing.

[Y E O N N E]

CN9-AH with an XL265, 3xSRM4, and an AC/20 is pretty awesome.

BJ-1DC with an AC/10 and 6xML is also pretty awesome, since the AC/10 fires so quick.

[SlightlyMobileTurret]

For arms - Enforcer, Blackjack, Cent

For torso - Shadowhawk, Hunchback (TBT-7K if you own it, can run HBK-4G build)

You shouldn't need anything else.

Classic AC20 build (Cent, TBT, HBK)

One arm half stripped, STD250, AC20, 2med lasers and 4 tons of ammo.

Echoing what has already been said for AC20: Hunchback 4G, Blackjack (C), Treb 7K, Centurion AH are all my favorites.

If I'm using an AC10, it's great in Cicada 3M or 3C

For AC20 most viable would be Hunchback 4G, also Centurion AH/hero, Blackjack D-DC(?) and Enforcer 4P.

[Kurbeks]

Enforcer 4P - Ac20+ 4Med lasers

[C E Dwyer]

Enforcer AC10/20
Hunchback AC20
Cent AC20

Go with the quirked mechs

You can run a BlackJack with an ac 20, and I have done, but I don't recemmend you run ac20 on anything less than a 50 ton mech

[General Solo]

When I feel like trollin I run an AC10 in an ember

[Davy J0nes]

BJ 1DC

seems to be able to do 5 med lasers and a ac20 thats pretty good if you ask me.

all other med mechs I dont think can go over 4. m-lasers

And high mounted weapon.

[Aleksandr Sergeyevich Kerensky]

Cicada can mount 2 ac20s!!!

Yes.. 2 of them! Not 1, not 3... But 2! Two! Too!!! 2!!!

[CD0UG]

My current workhorse... performs quite well- Shadowhawk 2d2, ac10, 3 srm 4 , 2 ml, 2 jj, XL engine and can still shield and survive quite well

Urbie.

No one mentioned SHD-GD yet for AC10s. It's got specific AC10 quirks. Pair that with 2xLLs and you have a not-horrible mid-range alpha with decent supplemental DPS.

[CD0UG]

Centurion CND-9. lbx10, 2 srm 6, 2 medium laser, XL 280.

The Grey Death with an Ac10, 4 x ML, and an SRM is a beast with JJ's.

Can get it up to about 90kph with an Xl, which isn't the fastest but its decent.

The AC10 reloads so quickly its bloody brilliant.


Also

Some of the enforcers work well with ballistics, there is pretty much a variant for any type. One with UAC jam chance -% can fit twin UAC5's which is sweet.

One favours LBX and has a real fast reload.

One favours AC10.

AC20 mediums, are pretty pointless imo unless you just get lucky. They End up being too slow.

[The Basilisk]

Best performing medium AC10 carrier maybe the SHD-GD. 10%ballistic cooldown, 10% AC10 cooldown, 25% ballistic speed. High firing rate combined with decent projectile speed (~1185m/s)

Try shortranged versions with 4mpls and AC10 or something with a single PPC and AC10 (same projectile speeds) and jumpjets and hillarious refiring rate.
dual SRM4 higher reactor rate and AC10 might also work.
Take your pick.

My HBK-4G disagrees. Goes 87.1 with 31 shots.
