Hi mechwarriors,
since I have 5 tons slot unused un my IS dropdeck (1 WHM BW, 1 WHM 6D, 1 WHM 7S and 1 Oxide) I am planning to upgrade one of my warhammer (the 7S) to my Bounty Hunter II, to have three hero mechs in my deck for more C-Bills bonuses.
I tried different builds with this mech (2 ER-PPCs + Gauss / LPLs + AC10 / AC20 + MLs + STD 300) but I had mixed results with them.

I was thinking to use something like that:

Could you please drop some advice?
Thanks!

If you want more tanky variant, try this

Pros: really tanky, can alpha strike without ghost heat, ok speed
Cons: limited firepower
I dont think you need 3 jumpjets, one is enough for better mobility. Running std engine is quite reasonable in CW where you need to stay alive and do as much dmg as you can. If you're not afraid of low speed mech just drop engine a bit and go for another medium laser. I run similar build on my MAD-5D

I craft on it all the time. Its engine capacity and single ballistic slot always end up pissing me off.

If I had one though: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...8ebae52dc52925d

IMO bounty hunter sucks, I would much rather bring a warhammer or a marauder 3r.
But those are some good builds for it.

wow, not a single meta laser vomit build posted yet?

Here ya go:

No ghost heat, and the medium lasers sync up very well with lg pulse due to quirks.

Plays fairly similar to most meta laser vomit IS mechs, just not using a large XL motor. The BH gets away with this to an extent due to not needing to twist very far to spread damage.

The large pulses are intentionally placed on the left side because 1) most people aim for the right torso on Maddys 2) most folk are right handed, so the dominant weapon will (usually) be fired by your dominant trigger finger.

Thanks guys, very interesting buld. Need to try the 3 LPLs with the 300 STD engine...

[invernomuto]

I tried the 3 LPLs build with STD engine and I had very good games with it (latest game 800+ dmg and 3 KMMD). A bit hot but very strong build for the Bounty Hunter. Thanks for those who answered to the discussions!

You should drop down to STD280/85 and get 3 more heatsinks. 29% is too hot. YMMV
