most number I saw is the clans light and medium having 3

[BTGbullseye]

I think I remember mention of one that can do 4 with the right omnipods, but I haven't a clue which it is. The Kitfox with the -C right arm does both triple AMS and ECM, plus it's a light.

[Judah Malganis]

I think Piranhas can have 4, but not worth it for their low weight. Overall, Kit Foxes can have 3 and a good mix of weapons on the Clan side, and Javelins will do ok on the IS side.

I personally enjoy taking the Nova S. This can equip 3 AMS with the proper Omni Pods.

It also has great AMS quirks.

Yup, the PIR-A. Has 2E/8B hardpoints in addition, so not completely worthless, especially for the challenge tomorrow.

Good dual ams lights on the IS side is the wolfhound 1B and the Javlin 10F. Both are ams quirked and I play them alot, very fun.

[BTGbullseye]

Just a side note, if you're getting it specifically for the event tomorrow, it's doesn't matter whether it's Clan or IS for the killed missile count... Both work for the same counter as it is worded now.

Champion just means it's a Trial build. You can do the same with a store bought Nova-S (only, as it's the one with the CT AMS hardpoint). Add a Nova-A left and right torso pod on, mount 3 AMS, use whatever you want for/on the arms.

Grats, you now have your own Iron Dome.

Incidentally, no IS chassis can get more than two, though if they add the Komodo (a very nice choice, PGI hint hint) it could carry 3 (and comes with at least 2).

I mean the 30% ams rof is only found in NOVA S (C)

Nope. It's actually three 10% buffs- the S center torso, and the two A side torsos. That's why the stock S only has 10%, and the stock A 20% AMS ROF boosts.

Yep, I've built one of these and it's quite entertaining

[Jay Leon Hart]

PIR-A has 4 AMS
KFX-C RA has 3 AMS + ECM
MLX-A LA has 2 AMS
COU-Prime LT & COU-BA Head each have 1 AMS
JR7-IIC-F has 2 AMS

LCT-3M, JVN-10F, JVN-10N, SDR-A, FS9-S, PNT-10K & WLF-1B all have 2 AMS

Komodo?

PGI PLZ?!

[BrunoSSace]

A really good IS medium for dual AMS is the 27 Crab. Probably what I will be using for the mission.

Yes. A Clan chassis may have a set of 8 bonus, but individual pods can have quirks as well (positive mostly, rarely negative like the Timber Wolf. The Iron Dome build is so AMS friendly because it not only has three AMS hardpoints, but three pods that combine for a rather nice boost to them.

[AlphaStrikeFire]

Corsair 7A and Piranha 2(I believe) have 4 AMS on them.

He just joined the forums looks like. He's necro'd two threads haha.

[Elizander]

I was about to comment on why no one knows about the Corsair 7A after reading the first half of the comments.
