EDIT: Kind of surprised the legs are stripped though.

to use the one side torso as a shield
the whole trick is to use free look to partially clip your arm inside the dragon's side torso and leg to protect the arm. and then you use the opposite arm and side torso as a shield.
the 250 STD lets you maintain a faster speed than if you used a 285 LFE and lost a side torso. you also dont suffer the heat penalties.
its kindve exploitative since the arm is partially clipped inside the mech. hopefully PGI will fix this one day. but probably not lol

Can't you do that with an LFE?

you can but when the side torso pops youre suffering speed loss and heat penalties
three uac2 isnt exactly running cool so avoiding the heat penalties makes sense, since youre relying entirely on internal heatsinks for cooling
and if you lose the side torso on the LFE, the speed penalty is gonna make you go slower than if you had a 250 STD
the entire build is based around protecting the one arm with a combination of clipping exploit and deadzoning.

He can't put the ammo in the shield left side, but I do think that 2 tons in the CT would've been safe since the ammo would be expended (CT ammo is prioritized first) long before his CT armor would get opened up.

the ammo is on the right side, because the left side is used as a shield. you want the left side to take all the hits to abuse the 50% damage reduction from damage transfer
you probably could stick ammo in the head/CT though, since that gets used up first.

Thats also how you justify pure lrm boat. By saying things like "i just did 500damage in it".

Most of the comp guys are moving at slower speeds anyway, so the extra speed you gain from swapping to LFE doesn't matter since they work as a group anyway. If you're going faster than the assaults and you're not a designated harasser light mech then its wasted speed. Besides, Proton seems to usually be the guy on overwatch duty, there's not much moving he has to do once he gets into position.

You can assign a mouse button to free look. Or just practice. I've done the same when I've blown a ST and my remaining weapons are in my arm. Turn torso sideways and slew the arm forward. It works really well with Marauders or other torpedo-shaped mechs with lower arm actuators
