NTG-C
so with this build, I fit the three c-ultra ac/2 but had to cut a ton worth of armor out of the legs and back to fit everything. I also could only fit 3 tons of AC ammo but could dump the targeting comp mk1 for armor or another ton of ammo.
My other Idea would be to drop one of the ultra ac to max my armor while adding a heat sink and an active probe. the damage would be less bursty but I'd have better heat and ammo management, so it seems like a burst damage vs longevity problem. Any thoughts? Anything horribly flawed in this build? how noticeable is dropping my armor that low and can I make up for it with skills?

so this is my new build. I feel like it's spread a little thin trying to do everything. I have ideas, but what do you guys notice?

My 2UAC5/2ERPPC build for the JK is awesome, though, very PPFLD, and can be replicated by the C I believe.

(please take everything I say with a pound of salt because I suck at this game)
I do not do Smurfys, I take pictures.
This one I also run with two ER LLs. I have the right LL and Gauss on one button and the same for the other side. I hit with the ER LL which helps me aim then I fire the gauss.

ac2's have the highest dps / ton, highest velocity and longest range of the entire AC line.
There are trade offs, I dont want it to seem like ac2's are always the best thing, but there are very strong reasons to use them on some mechs.
the night gyr specifically is very strong with 5-6 uac2's.
that isnt to say you SHOULD use ac2's or UAC2's on the ng, but they have their strengths and if you wanted to test them, the ng is a good platform for it.

same with the gauss build, you could trim both to 6 tons and probably have more than enough for most drops.

2x gauss, 2x, er-ll, 1x er-ml
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...dbd953f29f7c0c0
- high alpha
- long range
- not horribly hot (esp when skilled out "correctly"
- easy to use (esp since ER-LL and ER-ML sync now)
notes:
-adjust rear armor to taste
-you can move a ER-LL to head if you prefer to "strong side/weak side" your build
-you can ditch the DHS for a 5th ton of ammo, or just make up for it via skill tree (or do both for FP)

that's brilliant, I'm normally horrible with guass so I stick to ppc, but I'll have to try that. I imagine the gauss velocity synergizes with lasers well. How d you post screenshots on the forum? that'd make things easier.
anywho, here's what I have. it hasn't changed from last time but finishing up the skill tree covered a lot of my weak points, like ammo and heat.
NTG-C
I stuck with 2erppcs and moved them to the right and left torsos because getting armed and losing both was ridiculous and common, while the higher hardpoints help me shoot over cover. they also pair with ac's nicely since you have to lead the target by about the same amount, so I switched the 3 uac2s for 2 uac5s. it gets me better ammo and tonnage management while still working well at longer ranges.
the two ERmed lasers are for when things get close, though the uacs are also what help me get through moments where my heats high and I can't cool off. the light active probe is just to give me a warning light ecm mechs, while the cmas is to help mitigate lrm boats, both of which are the bane of my existence.
I could cut both or one of them out for more ac ammo, but fitting one more heat sync doesn't really make much of a difference and is all I'd have room for. I tested this build with small pulse lasers and an extra heatsync and didn't find a worthwhile drop in heat to swap out the Er Meds, but I could drop to er smalls if heats an issue and still fit more ammo and a better active probe. The downside is that would relegate my lasers to emergency weapons, since I'd never really want to be close enough to use them, while er med still work well at longer ranges.
AS for skill the skill tree, i have about half of the survival tree, most of the firepower for heat and ammo capacity, and 14 points of operations for all the heat mitigation and cool run. advanced zoom is a no brainer. the skill tree really covered up all the low points, which is how i get by on 2.5 tons of uac ammo. if games start getting longer i may have to drop the cmas. for another ton.
it may seem a little unorthodox but it works for me, and after over a hundred runds on this mech I have a positive KD ratio on it so it seems to work well. It's not perfect, but each issue I have is generally covered by some other item on the mech, so it always gets by.

Twin gauss with a single PPC is good according to the Nite Gyr meta
Edit: Or Twin gauss and twin Large laser could be ok doh personally I run heavy large lasers instead

Classic Poptart: 2xGauss 1xERPPC 2xERML. With the heat dissipation changes, you can now eat the ghost heat and combo 2xGauss + PPC again.
Mini Deathstrike: 2xGauss 2xERLL 2xERML
ECM 2xGauss 2xERLL
Dakka 2s: 4x UAC2 2x CAC2. I have the normal version, and the Jade Kite version. Jade Kite version has more armour, and deadsides a little better, but losing left torso spells disaster.
Here are my overall Night Gyr Stats. I actually thought I had higher K/D with them, but the W/L is good.

For a small price in damage output you can drop a erml for the ecm RT, too.
