Anyone have any interesting loadouts for this much?

For some reason I want to buy this thing but I just do t know what exactly to put into it.

[Snazzy Dragon]

Ac2s I guess but why not buy a blackjack 1 instead? You'd be getting higher mounts and better armor/geometry to use them along with far more ammo, better quirks, and room for more than a single jumpjet if you want more lift, in addition to backup lasers that ensure you won't just piddle against everything

If you *really* want to run around with a big ballistic on a light the only decent way to go is with the adder

You want to play the hardest panther there is. Hats off you you sir o/ But the build I would be is this one.


Molten Metal or Baradul as people know him as, use a single Ac10 on it. With the new tech i don't know, you dont see this mech around much or at all. Good luck Bruno.

Replace the AC/2s with LB2X, the SRM with a pair of RL10s, use both the spread nodes on the skill tree, all the range nodes, and the advanced zoom node. You end up with an optimal range of 1,134 meters. Upgrade the engine to a 200XL, strip all the armor from left arm, drop two jump jets and 1 external DHS, add 1.5 tons of ammo, max the torso armor and drop a couple pts from the legs. You'll want the 2 magazine skill nodes also, and possibly the velocity nodes (though with the 20% quirk the LBs are already at 1596 m/sec). Presto, one long range harasser/flanker with a sustained 8dps.

Either an AC-10 or LBX10 backed upped with rocket launcher(s). You really need to be on your game though. Easily the worst Panther.

I saw someone using one with a RAC-5 the other day.

Dual ac2, rac5, lb/ac10 and a srm 2 work.

It's by far the hardest panther to do well in, if it had a single ct energy it would be much better.

Get it if you're not trying to be serious otherwise get a adder.

[RangerGee412]

It'll just be a fun much to try to mess with. I wish the missiles were in the side torsos tho so I could at least do 2 srm 6s or artemis 4s

Run mine with an AC5 and 2xSRM4. Used to do ok with it, but perhaps that was due to people ignoring it because it's a Panther?

[Bud Crue]

Your best option is to peak and poke with an AC10 or an LBX (though honestly the LBX is terrible most of the time but can be great if you are douche/patient enough to stay back and wait to engage until the enemy is seriously hurt/distracted).

2UAC2s can be fun, though I have only managed 1 truly glorious game (ammo limits, sacrifice of JJ and a bit of engine, and the damn jams really combine to hurt and make this a niche of a niche that requires straight up luck to work). If you want that sort of play, honestly 2AC2s with maxed cooldown is the better way to go.

If you just can't make the ballistics works, then just say screw it, near max the engine do a couple SRM4s and 2HMG and go hug an assault or two.

Those are really all your potentially "effective" choices right there.
