as per title can you suggest a mech that you find best to use 4xLBX2

[El Bandito]

HBK-IIC. IMO CAC2 is superior.

Not quite. CLB2Xs are basically slug guns, especially if you have a really good spread quirk. On some mechs the spread doesn't even factor in until the shot is well past optimal range.

Such as? I doubt CLB2X can hit the same section past 900 meter range. Besides, 2000 m/s velocity of CAC2 > 1330 m/s velocity of LB2X.

HBK-IIC can do quad LBX2.

But I gotta ask... WHY?!!!!

Why not AC2... or UAC2?

the spread isnt terrible on the lb2 but its still not as good as the other 2 class guns. its not like the pre module days where it was the only 2 class that had a cooldown module. post skill tree cacs are better imho, except maybe the cac5 which ive yet to find a niche for (other than wasting tonnage). still think lbs need an across the board, is and clan, all sizes, cd buff.

The answer is always Dire Wolf. The question isnt usually lbx2's though lol. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...27f9ad9d15713eb

Yeah, go with HBK IIC. If you're going to waste a mech on a **** build it better be the lightest mech possible.

I tried LBX2 on HBK IIC...it's crap
Not enough bang to take out things on short range and too much spread (and slow projectiles) on long range.
It might be ok if mechs have no armor left, but for the most part, you'll have to work through armor and that takes ages with LBX2.

I'm currently running 4 UAC2, but it's not as good as my Jager with 4 AC2.
It's an OK build, but I think 2 UAC10 would be best.

Don't use lbx2, they're bad

No you are bad. LB 2 X is the weapon of gods! Built to be fitted to the mighty Panther with sweet sweet ballistics quirks! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA ....(forever!)

/Only somewhat sarcastic.

I run a Hunchback 2C with quad LBx2s.

They don't really spread with skills and they're pretty potent. They don't deal a ton of damage,but i use it more like a like LB2 Dakkawolf.

[Bigbacon]

i would love totry it on the new maddog bandit

i dont know, on the clan side, I'd rather use LBX2s over AC/UAC.
