This is kind of horrible but at least it uses all the tonnage and all the hardpoints. Plus, it is blazingly fast for an Annihilator.

I can't testify to how fun that build may be, but I do think I can say its not nearly as effective as you portray it to be. I've had multiple run ins with LB-5X Anni boats, and every single time I have the same reaction: Thank god he's using LB-5Xs, I'd be dead otherwise.

Its actually pretty sad when a Huntsman gets exposed to an Annihilator for 10+ seconds and makes it out alive

If i ever live long enough to fight a mediium or light, ive already acomplished my mission. Or ive put myself in a bad situation. Also, if i dont strip your armor in 10s with 6lb5s, the loadout is seriously not to blame.

Beside another Anni, no assault youll find on the battlefield today can face off with you. If you shoot first you get a solo kill. They all try to twist away(in their nosy assault lol) after their initial alpha and then unless they have another assault hammering you, you just keep on them. Like any assault going in, you are dependant on your team following and placing its damage and whether the enemy team prioritize you or not which is also dependant on if your team let them or not. I always target the biggest and closest mech on the battlefield and never change target unless its for a second assault thats hammering me. You cant be standing still behind cover, waiting for the enemy to poke or whatever, standing still and anyone can just pick you apart.

I only just got em and only played 60 games combined but its my best Annie stat wise. I dont know how you use them but i hit forward and never let go and once i pick a target i keep on it, works best on my -2A than the rest.

I have 5

-1A: 4AC10 It's fun to play, You can start with 1 or 2 full alpha and then switch to 20/20 but you will need a coolshot.

-1P: 2UAC20 5ML(not er) it's ok, i never did great with ac/uac20.

-1X 4LB10X 5ERSL Youll get more damage but less solo kills.

-1X 2Heavy Gauss 6ML(not er) meh, one game you get 4 kills and then you have four match where you cant get anything done. Never used the HGauss before, maybe i just have to get used to its quirkiness.

-2A 6LB5X. Already explained.

Why the C.A.S.E. ?

It's pretty easy to replace them with a TC1.

All that HMG ammo is super vulnerable to explosions. Lose a leg and lose your CT.

6 ac5
5 uac5
2 uac10, 2 uac5

If I'm being honest, I like using my 2A as a BFG platform.

ANH-2A

I wouldn't say any build with heavy gauss is particularly practical, but it is rather fun to get in close and blow a limb off with every shot.

I do 4 AC5 - 2 Rac2
ANH-2A
Not sure I got the ammo amounts correct, but that is the general idea - you need magazine capacity and survival skills, but it works like a charm

Its a bit different than the 6AC5 build
I was not happy I couldn't have max engine and enough ammo

Nobody will be able to face tank you - with the Rac2s, its good to blind/suppress the enemy...and that is really what they are there for. It makes it hard to shoot back - enemies flee - you take less damage.
The 4 AC5s provide 20 PPFLD damage over and over and over and adds up very quickly

Velocity and range of the rac2 and ac5 matches up pretty decently as well

It a DPS build, but it works nice at mid range and below.
