Been playing them more tonight and feel like they could use more mobility. Even with the mobility tree maxed out and a large engine they still feel sluggish.

I dont own a victor so i cant confirm but Victor was always unable to mount SRMS effectively due to tube count. It came out in stream which made it underwhelming as an agile assault (ie no torso twist). If that is still same i'd recommend ac20+ couple sPPCs along with 325LFE + DHSs.

nope they fixed the tubes, they are 20 tubes each now , so 3 srm6 fire in bulk .

Meh. I can do 3xASRM6+AC20 on an Orion and save 5 tons in CW.

I got rid of mine. Clan mechs made it useless.

Got rid of the Orion? Big mistake. LFE now makes it more mobile, and almost as deadly as its IIC cousin in brawls.

There are a lot of maps where I'd rather eat the extra 5t and get jump jets, not for CW necessarily but QP.

No the Victor. I've been thinking about getting an Orion again but I already have a TRB so its a bit moot.

Yeah, Victor is not worth mentioning, even post buffs and new tech. Even when my Ember is revived thanks to LMG and ERMLs, my Dragon Slayer wallows in the corner of my garage. Powercreep had long overtaken it.

If you play QP only then Orion-IIC and IS Orion are not needed, but If you play CW, then those two mechs are wonderful performers on hot maps, such as Sulfurus, Caustic, and Vitric, whether be on defense or attack.

Can I have it?

Would be nice to not have to mechlab everytime I want to go back and forth between 2 AC5s HPPC PPC and UAC10 2 HPPC.

In all seriousness though, try those, the actually feel pretty solid, I think around XL325ish. Yeah yeah I know XL, just play like a samurai and you'll be fine.

Yeah, you can have it. The loadout you suggested seems viable, though I have to see how effective it is post engine desync.
