Those high points are great. If you enjoy dual heavy PPCs, make sure to try out this beauty!

Nightbird's Blackjack would certainly be a good start....Although I think he forgot to adjust the armor cause since I know him I guarantee he is not running 12 back armor on a 45 ton mech.

EDIT: Perhaps if you have time on some these showcases you could show a newer player friendly version of top tier mechs, that would probably be handy for some to work their way into mechs as the mechlab and building mechs is a bit of an art form in itself.

I'd personally put the HPPC's in both LT/RT, I also think it would help the majority of players to use said 'pop-tart' setup. I think it's fine for an advanced player, but losing that arm would happen far to often for 'joe' pilot.

Yeah you lose that ability to tank with the 'left' side, but it's a solid build even if you put them on the torso.

Here's a more optimal version of the HPPC BJ-3 Poptart.

Colder, no risk of having both guns blow out, still maintains good convergence due to small frame.

Can't aim down... so some trade off

That left arm actually shields well when poptartings... finally 2 JJs doesn't do pops well.

Is only an issue with UAVs or targets directly over your head, because the 'Mech otherwise has generous torso pitch.

I almost never lose that arm even being essentially unarmored.

It does fine.
