I recently bought an IV-Four due to the monster quirks. I am currently using this build:

I know a lot of people use dual ballistics or missles, but I rather mix them for the chassis. I also prefer a larger engine over carrying larger armament. I wonder what could be tweaked.

The big problem is that you're lacking the tonnage to carry big ballistics and other weapons.
Most people just slap on 2x MRM30/40 and be done with it, but if you insist ...

w/280 LFE and different armour dist:

Not saying theese are perfect, your build is pretty optimized (for a mixed loadout) already.

I like how the third build looks, but i don’t know if MRM 20’s are enough. I guess the cool down quirks help. I had got the original build off of an older MoltenMetal video. I got a bigger LFE instead of a STD, and gave the missles Artemis. It used a 280, so I don’t know if I should have given it more weapons to work with.

IMO you'd be better off shaving some armor to get it to 2x MRM30, which is the IV4's bread and butter build.

I might settle for this one, but I’ve seen the builds without machine guns, more heat sinks, and more jumpers. Is that better?

On my current build, I’m assuming I should get a smaller engine.

Well yea, that's better, but you said you wanted ballistics AND missiles, so I left the machine guns in there.

Dropping the machine guns for better cooling and more ammo is probably best, like this https://mwo.smurfy-n...30b1c04d39e2909

On my current build, how would a UAC10 work instead of Artemis?
