Blood asp omni useing hero mech parts you can run ecm, 4 20s with arti, or 4 20s and 1 15 without

or

The hero Fafnir

or 3 20s one 15 with arti

or i use 4 15s with arti

but i do love the Golden boy (so much fun)

PS the Hero Annihilator
with 4 20s arti

Not really recommended but it can be used to devastate if your team helps out.

I like ECM mechs

I always have at least 2 med lazers with every lrm boat

Its not about opinions, its about facts.
Fafnir 4lrm20
Stalker 3h 4lrm20
Awesome (lrm15 quirk one) 4lrm15

Hunchback IIc can boat 4 LRM15 artemis or 4 LRM20s with a large amount of ammo and a tag. Its mobility is pretty nice.

You may actually want to look at some Mauler chassis for IS 4 LRM20 builds too due to quirks.

The object is boating.

Lower weight platforms dont have the tubes or ammo depth to really boat ...they are more a kind of fire support mech.
Heavier platforms can do it....but I think that Assault mechs in general should be in the front line.
Assault mechs have a responsibility to the rest of the team to deal direct damage, attract attention and tank damage.

Pure LRM assaults are wasted in that regard IMHO.

I tried to follow that philosophy with my Corsair 5R(S). I just could not make that mech work on the front or second line. Tried MRMs, RACs, and Large Lasers. PPCs might work now, but I haven't tried. What has worked well for me though is 2x LRM20s with Artemis and some medium lasers. That Corsair just feels way too squishy to be in direct fire for any length of time. I could just be terrible though, I'm completely ready to hear that

[FinnMcKool]

Dont forget, you need enuff Ammo, and whatever else it takes to use the platform practically

at least 10 tons of Ammo

Arti is debatable ( i can see there are times its not preferable / practical ) but i recommend it for 15s or 20s, your damage does go up

an engine that takes you faster than 30 kph

ect ect.

there are mechs that will take 4 lrm 20s but nothing else, not enuff ammo ( stalker 3h )
