I hereby call dibs on the 2 ppc 1 ac/2 hunchback config as a founders mech Sniper.

Also weighing my options on a 2 Llaser/ 1 ac5 midrange utility config.

Mainly hoping to eliminate the atrocity that is hands on a mech. Mechs with hands = fail. Hands indicate a lack of firepower.

Just putting a claim in on being the first to come up with what I think will be a relatively common config. One day, I'll be able to post links to this thread and say **** noob I had that config idea first.

Mathematically. its a solid long range config.

I don't plan on using a Hunchback till I can get a Gauss Rifle :)


Even then I think I would rather have it on a mech that can jump.

The disgusting thing is that you are not a hot chick,because there are none here in MWO, much less the internet with Eharmony.com and match.com being the rare exceptions.

Yes, except that 1.) It's been done many times before and 2.) mathematics doesn't beat enemy Mechs.

Dual PPCs is a classic failsafe that works on any Medium or larger 'Mech, but the AC/2 is chronically underpowered in tabletop. It will have to be seen if it's worth taking a single one in MWO, or if you're better off sticking an ER Large Laser in there instead (CT has an energy hardpoint with 2 free slots) and spending the 2-3 tons you save on extra heat sinks instead.

The real trick is putting two Large Lasers and keep the AC 20.

A Hunchback should be a hunchback , I hate those powergaming configs made by pilots who have no sense of the BT- universe.

So what will you do if they get under your minimum range?

I sense heat problems, also note that heat buildup and ammo is bad.....
