Should force a 360 spin. It only makes sense.

[Elizander]

I am shocked that this is not in the roadmap. Shocked.

Its a 20 ton mech not a wheel chair..

We did try AC/20 with our UrbanMech Street Cleaner:

~54 kph on Light Engine (mechbay did not allow me to choose XL Engine?).
~Heat Sinks in all other slots.
~Hot as **** despite all those heat sinks.
~Only 12 shots from my AC/20 ! (1.5tons of ammo).

Slow as morass, hot as ****.
Once your opponents figure it out, you're toast (almost literally).

In short, it's a party trick, single-trick pony, etc.

Does this mean I can fly like a helicopter if I equip a RAC?

[letir]

It should be propelled by recoil, like Scout in TF2.

[General Solo]

If they aim their AC20 down and fire while jumping it should increase the urbies altiude

[Teenage Mutant Ninja Urbie]

honestly: an AC20 should do triple damage when on an urbie;
you have too few rounds, are slow as f*ck - there should be some upside to this, too.

besides, I'd laugh my a** off and might come back for a few rounds of "Big Buck Hunter - Urbie Edition"

[PocketYoda]

AC 20 should have 3x the range as well.

[FupDup]

The Small Laser is the thing that should be quirked, not the AC/20.

LFE100 + AC20 + 2.5t (20)

I don't know how you build yours, but an AC20 Urbie ain't that hot, likewise extra ammo is possible.

Just give the urbie Ammo/Ton+

Would also work wonders on UAC10 and AC10s.

street cleaner is kind of a waste if you run it on a smaller engine. its the one with the high engine cap, which i use as a fast hppc/3xlppc build.

alternatively running with a uac10 can give you almost the same damage as the ac20, better range, and more ammo. its pretty mean. id also lose the jump jet for more ammo.

Yeah well, it's the other guy's choice of Urbie.

Yes, you can just drop the JJ for more ammo, but I wouldn't skimp on it. Urbie is already a lot slower, the last thing you need is getting trapped by not being able to scale vertically.

You can get an Urbie with 3 tons of AC/20 ammo. I do 2 tons ammo and a Ml. UM-R60L AC/20

Rac 5 is better it blinds you and the target at the same time.. its like yin and yang.

You're doing it (in the) wrong (order). Try removing all heat sinks, then switch to an XL100, then add them back in. Single AC20 runs cool - very surprised you are having heat problems

[The6thMessenger]

Weight of an XL100 is 0.5t, which is exactly the same as an LFE100, you just pay with +2 slots and torso-death vulnerability as a result.

[Aidan Crenshaw]

you can go way faster (from a Baradul Video) UM-R60L

AC20; XL170; 3t ammo

Makes sense. Lots of armor shaven, hope you don't get hit.
