I run a Catapult-K2 with UAC5 settings.

------------------------------
XL-300 (about 80kph when tweaked)

2 X UAC-5 with 5-6 ton ammo
2 X LL
------------------------------

And man, it's such a beast!

I could easily control my fighting distance with the enemy and wreck them

indiscriminately before ducking into cover again and unjam my UACs.

This is easily the most fun Catapult setup I have tried out so far.


While the two large lasers act as valuable backup weapons for mid-long distances

it's the two UACs that punch out most damage and they do really shine in this chassis.


I love the ballistic K2 variant so much that I want more!!!

Something like a 4 ballistic + 2 energy hardpoint would be lovely.

Then I could punch in four AC2s and act like a heavily armored BJ-1 skirmisher.

I know there is little chance for a newer catapult with more ballistic hardpoints,

but still..... couldn't stop dreaming about it.

I'd like ballistics + missiles more, for maximal destruction with an LBX setup.
(And for cute launcher ears!)

Haven't tried out the Jagermech yet.... though the reduced UAC jam chance looks attractive

But...but.... the tall jagers don't give the sense of speed our short and stumpy catapults provide!!

++ jagers' movie-screen-sized shoulders always seem to grant them premature deaths.

(The Jagers need to bulk down in width for functional reasons...)

Vote for my quad ballistic Stalker concept instead!

Well I still hope there would be a day when you can place the UAC5s into the ears.... because this is the location they have to be places - PPC and UAC5 should have almost the same room.

Heck - somebody remember the User made CGI pictures with the K2 armed with UAC5 and SRM4 in the ears.... make it so

Jagermech arms on a Catapult chassis....

If Bishop's Alley Cat concept were in the game, I'd drive the hell out of it.

[Willard Phule]

I believe they have one...it's called a Jagermech.

[SkavenDC]

I run the same build and it is one of my favorite mechs in the game.

Others have mentioned the Jagermech, and though it may do it better (and has the 4 ballistics mentioned as well), doesn't do it with near the pizzazz of the Cat.

Sometimes you just have to not be meta, have fun in the game and do it in style.

If frankenmechs were a thing you could duct tape JM6-DD arms to a k2 and have 8 ballistic hardpoints

Edit: or put them on a WHM-BW for 10.

Just buy a kdk3, it runs as fast as a heavy with 4 high ballistics and has assault armor.
