So for some reason I have been thinking a bit about this mech.
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Blitzkrieg
Its a medium ultra AC20 carrier that runs at 120km. Is there any mech that can copy this in the current game?

Your mission if chose to accept it, is link me a build.
1. With a High mounted AC20 or Ultra AC20.
2. Move quick, around 100 or more if possible.
3. Carry 4 tons or more of ammo.
5. It doesn't need back up weapons, but you can, if you make it fit.
4. Can be Clan or IS, would rather it be IS. But not a massive deal.

Just want to pilot a berserker, in game. Like to see if its possible without crit splitting. A Hunchback running at 120 with an AC20 sounds kinda fun.

I'm trying to build it in Smurfys but so far no 50-ton medium can take both XL350 (lots of low caps) and UAC/20 at the same time due to no crit-splitting. The Uziel is the closest but its lower arm actuators mess it up.

[Seranov]

A Linebacker with stripped arms can fit a UAC20 and up to 6 1/2 tons of ammo, too. Nothing else, though, and you'd need Speed Tweak to get over 100kph.

[SuperMCDad]

Actic wolf hero can do a clan ultra AC20 + 3.5T ammo, XL300 (120kph), and almost full armour. Not sure how high the ballistic points are though.

Stripping arms, and a little off the head and legs will get you 5T ammo.

the closest i can come up with is the arctic wolf hero:

you could also try the shadow cat:

no IS mechs that really fit the bill though.

[Spheroid]

Light engine Trebuchet-K with stripped arms could do it. Your insistence on a high mount is unreasonable. The advantages of an XL on something like an Enforcer-4P or Centurion-AH would more than offset. UAC-20 is a brawling weapon anyway.

My Adder already does that, carrying CUAC20 at 100 kph. ADR-D BIG STICK It is gonna be far trickier for IS mechs, cause their XL engine sucks with the 3 crit requirement.

Too slow.

yeah, the enforcer 4P is actually a pretty good approximation if you can overlook the low arm mount:

[Spheroid]

@FupDup: He said between 100-120 kph. 300-325 LFE with speed tweak would satisfy that.

Shadowhawk 2d2, with speed tweak should run about ~110. 5 tons of ammo, AC20, high mounted.
Maybe other shadowhawks with ballistic hardpoints are better quirked for that, but as a quick reference should give an idea what to do.

This, high hardpoints as well. Great option to zip around with a big cannon.

113 after speed tweak OP meta build.

Edit:

Oh, and then of course there is this:

Your basic HBK-4G will go at 95 kph with Speed Tweak which is close enough to 100 for me. AC/20, 4.5 tons ammo, 2x ML

If you run around with pugs it will feel like you are going over 100. Also your life expectancy will only need 3 tons because you will be in range of every other weapon in the game the whole time you are shooting.

[Escef]

YLW can do over 100 after tweak and carries a UAC20 just fine.

Any ballistic Shadowhawk could do it with a 320LFE (provided full speed tweak), 1xJet, 3 armor on each arm, rest of the armor maxed (endo & ferro). If you try it with a SHD I'd recommend the 5M for UAC jam chance reduction quirk.

[stealthraccoon]

I’m all for the ‘fastest big gun possible’ builds, but you start catching some diminishing returns beyond 100 KPH.
You can do 106 or so with an Urbie, but you’re essentially naked with 14 rounds. ENF-4P or the Wang at least let you use an XL.

[Ruccus]

With the stipulation of 'around 100 or more', you can get a Huginn Boomraven (the build will also fit in a RVN-4X) up to 99.5kph with the full speed tweak nodes.

You can do it in the Vulcan VL-2T but only 3 tonnes of ammo

https://mwo.smurfy-n...f7bd4b778f09ed7

And the TBT-7K will do it perfectly
