with dual gauss + 5 ISERML you can take an XL350-375 or an LFE325-350
55 damage is unworthy of an assault, and those XL engines won't be worth it. You are still too slow and your firepower is too low. I can run dual gauss and 4 ER ML on a Warhammer with an LFE.... That is a garbage assault build. The Deathstrike does 6 CLAN ER MLs, which is a total of 42 damage, but really, the better Deathstrikes have 2 ERLL and 4 ERML. Comparing that with 25 damage from 5 IS ERMLs is a joke.

Yeah because LRMs, but its not a bad LRM build, LRMs are just bad. Needless to say, I can aim so I won't be running an LRM90 build. Also a bad build: 2 Gauss 5 ERML

On the direwolf im gonna use the 4E, 1B arms and 2B side torsos
Because assaults NEED to use ballistic weapons in order to stay ahead in the firepower curve. Thats just a fact of the game. Its the only way assaults can get a firepower advantage over heavies since both are subject to the same heat cap.
Another fact of the game is all that you need is the Prime arms on the Dire. 2 ERLL, 6 ERML, Dual Gauss 23 DHS. Done. Any other build is a sub par Dire build, aside from the 8 UAC2 build I guess. Git gud at Dire Whaling.

The only person that wants to put six LRM15s on an assault mech is you. Thats not a good enough reason to add the Turkina IMO.
I never said I wanted to do that, just that it was something new.

The only reason I wouldn't is because light mechs get old for me quickly but yeah I guess the Clans need a 20 tonner.
