So, how do I begin this... I love the mech, the mech loves me, but sometimes we don´t get along. So we need some kind of professional help... Posted Image

After tinkering around a bit, I ended up with the following setup:
MCII-4 (4xMPL, 2xATM6, 2xATM9)

I don´t think it´s a bad build per se, but I am open for suggestions. It´s not a super cool build at the moment, but usually I don´t go "OMG-ALPHA!!!" when an enemy mech pops up near me. Normally I´ll try to use cover as much as possible and pick off the annoying ones (fast meds and heavys) at 200-300 meters first before going after the big ones together with the rest of the team. Not sure if this works in the higher tiers, but at the moment most Assaults are at the other side of the map, sniping with PPC/Gauss/ACsomething/LRMs. So, suggestion time:
  • Drop the 9s down to 6s and more ammunition?
  • Drop the 9s down to 6s, throw the MPLs out, slap some HLL in?
  • Is it worth to upgrade the engine? Since I got that much tonnage left it would be strange to let that go wasted. 'The fuel bill will kill me MCII-4'
  • It´s fine, have fun with your build.
  • Something else.
Thanks Posted Image

that's a very lacklustre build. Throw out the ferro fibrous armour and fit at least 4x ATM9, 8tons of ammo and as much cooling as you can get.

Somehow I was under the impression that you can´t throw of out Ferro... Posted Image
Thanks for the advice.

Only on omnimechs, which MCII is not.

Try this MCII-4

Just mind the Ghost Heat on 4 ATM9-Launchers fire them in pairs.

You have 10.5T spare???

Just run 4 x ATM12s, DHS and 8T ammo.

cMPL are overly hot and range sucks after 3 nerfs in 2018. They are just a lacklusture weapon.

That´s how I run the Cat now after the hint with the FF.

See above, got the spare because I got the impression that you can´t get rid of FF, therefore I had the idea with upgrading the engine. The MPL are hot, but somehow it feels weird going into the battle without some kind of 'backup weapon' that doesn´t relies on ammo. Maybe when I get rid of them later, when I am bit better at positioning so that I don´t have to worry about the dead gap that the ATM have.

https://mech.nav-alp...3e386954_MCII-4 4 Medium Pulse, 2 SRM 6's, 1 ton for AMS, 2 JJ's. I use this build. I like this build for several reasons. It's a boat mech, that has the ability to get into the fray, at least act a meat shield. It still packs a bit of a punch when you run out of ATM ammo, and this is when to move into the fray... ATM's are best in the medium range neck of the woods... The enemy mech tends to turn away when in the close range when firing the ATM's, when they look back, crack the MPL's and SRM's for a face shot!
