I just got the rest of my MAD IIC's and ready to have a blast figuring out what to build on them, especially the Sorch, so I wanted to share what build I have for it so far and see what you guys think.

so..is that some preliminary build ? you still got 4 tons to spend.

Yes for right now I'm planning to drop the ferro for extra space as I don't really need it.

Or for one thing if you are determined to use those weapons systems, at least switch over to the medium pulse as it would work better for crit seeking with your lb 10s.

why not need it? looks like there space for some more ammo and a bap or tc1.
lbx + a tc1 surely does something good.

I guess the flamers have the purpose to heat up the opponent.

ya i would add med pulse and either another ton of lb ammo, or a tc1 on that build but that's just me.

and no, the targeting computer has no real effect on LB weapon systems. If i do run one on an lb centric platform, it tends to be only a tc1 because of the previous point.

[Gas Guzzler]

I think the flamers are better for a LB/SRM brawler than cMPL.

Targeting computers do not add any bonuses to LB autocannons, if I'm not mistaken.

tc crit chance increase does not apply to the lbx?

You do know the MAD IIC Hero is named 'Scorch' as in to burn the surface? The mech appears to have been scorched as well.

[Jackal Noble]

Ya, flamers aren't really my style. Plus I hate to see 4 tons go to waste when it can go to more guns etc, and switching over to standard armor is not a satisfactory (to me) solution to make that weight even up.

It states as much in the descriptor window that pops up on the selection screen when you hover over targeting computers.
Does not include LBX cannons.

Yeah I would ditch the flamers in favor of cER ML or cMPL if you have the tonnage to spare as either would be more useful in my opinion but other than that, I like where you are going with it. Tried something similar with UAC/10s but the jamming annoyed me so bad, I quickly stripped them off. Running a Gauss build at the moment but will have to try it with LB-10x's.

[Battlemaster56]

The mech is far from perfect at the moment, but they can real useful in a brawl and it best time to pull them out because alot people leveling their Marauders themselves so why not.

Not very creative, but I'd run this over the 2GR + 2ERPPC build any day of the week.

According to the smurfy weapon lab you should be able to do 4 alphas before overheating.

It's all splat/spread but its still insane and for that much damage you're still cruising at 69.7 kph (w/ speed tweak).

damn, with that title I halfway expected a babycakes thread where he's looking for a match all day...

[GabrielSun]

I just have 3t of ammo for non-artie'd SRMs, with ERLL in the arms instead of flamers. I found the SRMs are tertiary weapon systems most of the time and you will fire the ERLLs and LB10s way more often. Your alpha will be quite high if you can get in close, but not until then.
