HOW TF DOES NO ONE THINK TO USE THE AWESOMES, THEY ARE BUILT FOR LRMS

Only 80 tons.

Most/all hard points in torso, limiting extensive missile builds to LFE engines, if not STD engines or vice versa; smaller launchers to make everything fit.

Low engine cap.

The awesome isn't a terrible missile platform, but the Longbow is better suited for it.

I like the Longbow, since MW4.

Gonna say big pass and honestly not sure how this thread is alive. Bane would make a great missile boat as well, but nooooOOO.

Cause there are plenty of people like the Longbow.

Bane is whole another level of powercreep that we do not need right now.

Bane would be fine. It cant carry enough ammo to use more than x8 UAC2s.

At best it would be a slightly better Ultraviolet. Which still isnt good.

It can run 9 with enough ammo, all high mounted. It will be a much better UV, not slightly better, since UV has a hard time clearing the ridge top. UAC2s are too hot and not worth the jam, so CAC2s are better.

10 lbx2 or bust

ok but thats still not good lol

i dunno why you think thats a good build. ultraviolet isnt good. why would the bane be good even with one more AC2?

if they buffed CUAC2/CAC2/LBX2 maybe it would be good. But those weapons are jank.

not to mention the bane would probably have the worse agility than the kodiak-3.

Yep Bane can mount such config with enough ammo to guarantee #1 spot in Solaris Div.

Not in competitive, but in FP and QP, such builds will wreck the opposition. Not to mention in Solaris, as I mentioned above. UV suffers from low mounts. If it's mounts were are cockpit level, like that of Bane, then it woulda been a different story. Just like the difference between pre-hardpoint location nerf BNC-3M, and post nerf one.

i'll stick with the catapults and vanguard for my lrm-ing.

[LT. HARDCASE]

The LGB-13NAIS with its 6 Light Autocannon 5s would be interesting.

It's passed the time for PGI to add those to the game.

[MW Waldorf Statler]

and with all this Guns ,enormous Ghostheat thats not can use more as 3 same Time...love my old AC5 Builds with 3 or 4 AC5 ...once the high Weight for the Systems ,the Danger of Ammoexplosion and big Place was the Price against the lasers for a cool running weaponssystem ..now we have Ghostheat for it thats make it more bad against the Lasers...
Please PGI play ypu own Game!

[The Basilisk]

Only LRMish mech that would me get playing and paying again would be the Crusader atm...beside that...well there is still no game that I could play besides all the still prove of concept quality maps and modes we got since forever.

[jss78]

I'd love the Longbow, though with the current LRM 'mechanics I'd just run MRM's in it.

I love my 2xMRM40 Archer, and I'd run some beefier variation of that.

I think there's a place for 'mechs that are included just because they're cool, and Longbow is one of these. No 'mech screams "Eat missiles!" like the Longbow.
