Your next high level bet is the Rifleman followed by the Jagermech (any) and Catapult K2 and those are all heavies.
King Crab actually isn't as bad as you think. Just channel the armor forward and do not let them get behind you.
For the Mauler it is much the same, channel the armor forward and do not let them get behind you.
Far as backup weapons, with the King Crab I use Streaks and some pulse lasers because it is often not worth wasting my precious AC/20 ammo on light mechs.
Never thought of using the AC/20s on the Mauler; I got the one with all the ballistic hardpoints so I like hammering people like this.

Well technically, Mauler and the Cyclops hero (Slepnir) can do it. Whether those builds are good is kind of another matter though.

I didn't think of that; not familiar with it.
In general I find that the 90 tonners aren't "fast enough"... A King Crab has the advantage of
And from there it's just doom for the enemy.
(Don't make me explain the meme.)
In other words, King Crab just needs to position and wait.
A Mauler.... doesn't have that ability. It's just...too...tall.

The Mauler does have better weapon geometry and hitboxes though.
Anyway, decided to go on smurfy and screw around a bit.
Mauler: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...93102edcf7411e9 chose 3 SRM4 instead of 2 SRM6 for better spread and DPS.
Slepnir: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6009287d50e1629 62kph is not bad for a 90 ton IS assault with STD engine. Also can zombie for a bit after the STs are blown off.
P.S.: the meme I usually associate with the KGC is Giant Enemy Crab (thanks Sony).

Hence the meme of choice.
After all, twin AC/20 + cockpit = instant death on literally Every. Single. Target. you can have in the game.

2x AC/20
6x Medium Laser
Just a great punisher mech.

IMO it would have the best quirks, meaning range, heat and velocity.
It also would have shield arms for the most part, so would most likely last longer with dual BOOM. down side would be torso mounted so not as much moving for hitting things either Up or down..
Should have my ac20 ranged module unlocked by the time i finish leveling my heavies.. I am also working on maulers, so i will give this a try soon and get back to you.. Perhaps next week if you are not in a hurry

I personally find Quad Uac5's on a King Crab much more lethal.
For more mobility with Dual AC20s, the Catapult is a better choice. Then Jager.
