yes don't listen to those lrm mechs, once you get better in this game you will lern how to counter lrm's and your opponents will know this too, so you won't have that much fun with lrm's anymore. LRM's may still work on direct fire, but they do a pretty bad job when it comes to efficiently taking out mechs.

The JAAAAAAAAAAAAG is IMO the heavy to surpass metal gear as of now. The Timber got curbed hard and the Hellbringer is pretty squishy.

Yeah, the Hellbringer was tough to get going early on. But now that it is skilled and I have maximum Cool Run nodes, I can cool down and change position quickly and keep the damage going. The ECM helps a lot in this regard.

I can get a free mech from the current event and I have my eye on the Highlander IIC to go for some sort of a mixed build (dual UAC10, ATMs or LRMs and lasers with a tag) or Orion IIC (for pure brawling power with LBX20, 4 SRM6, lasers, AMS and running at over 75kph) but it's a very close-ranged mech. I assum I can tweak the loadout to make it work at ranges of around 400-500m. How would that be?

Take the Orion, not the Highlander. There's no need to tweak the loadout, just play more carefully - it's a brawler, not fire support, you close in without sticking your nose out and then unleash a can of whoop-*** right into enemy positions.

Other than that, Linebacker is decent, Mad Cat Mk II B is born to be brutal and Nova can do decently as ultra-close-range laservomit / AMS boat (use the S CT, otherwise you're missing on one AMS hardpoint).

is what i would run on it. might be a little toasty when its not skilled, but once its fully skilled thse 23 DHS will do work.

Think I had mine set up with UAC10s.

It was something like...

2x UAC10s w/ 4 tons ammo (stored in legs)
2x ASRM6 w/ 2 tons ammo (stored next to the launchers)
3x ER-mediums (probably go to heavy mediums for a 30 damage spray)
clan active probe (head mounted)
targeting comp Mk1
3x jumpjets
325 XL engine
endo steel
standard armor
17 DHS

I remember it running fairly cool so even with heavy mediums it should be good.

Yeah, the Orion IIC it is then. I was hoping to get a free mech that can do different jobs at multiple ranges but the mechs on offer aren't cut out for that. I have a few Brawlers on the IS side so I guess I should get one for the Clans.

Buddy, I would recommend huntsman wholeheartedly, it can do every thing really well given mobility(jump jets), speed( decent and speed to stay with the group or flank) and most importantly, the combination of endo+ff means heaps of tonnage saved for all the weapons you want, Omni pods means you get 1 mech and can have all the play style you want and won’t be afraid of weapon balance adjustments ever again!

Honestly huntsman is the best money spent on this game, esp if you get em during discounts!

Thanks! Next time there's an MC sale, I'll buy the Pakhet.

You mean the Hellbringer? I have that. I do well with now after maxing the skills. I'm running ECM + 2 HLL + 4 ERLL and rest are DHS.
