current Heavy Laser build (all heavy lasers): 76 damage with optimal range at 270 and a "high damage" band out to 360
current Heavy Laser/ER Med build (two heavy large, six ER Meds): 75 damage with optimal range at 400 and a "high damage" band out to 600
imo, the Heavy/ER Med build is better because the heat is way more manageable for almost the same damage and nearly twice the range. You can also boost your range by adding a targetting computer.
Could you give us the exact build details of the ER MED loadout ?
I am having a hard time achieving something that has Enough Armor + A fast XL Engine + More than 1.27 of Cooling Capacity at the moment...
Somehow i got the idea I am missing something ?!

If you (as one of my comrades from the unit put it) decide to raise real heroes from the players and give the players the task of inflicting 8000 damage with each type of weapon, you should understand that people, completing the task of 8000 damage with missile weapons, will follow the path of least resistance, that is, they will massively use LRM. Moreover, often gathering in a group, which includes the NARC mech. Thus, worsening the game for all other players. This is Lurmfest.
May I make an improvement proposal?
If you give the task described above, you can give counter-task: destroy, for example, 4000 missiles with AMS.
Even better :
Don't add LRM/ATM stuff in Events and promote the use of SRM and MRM or even Streak Missiles

Unfortunately, at the present time it is simply impossible to set up a matchmaker for at least more or less adequate work. Gathering balanced teams was not an easy task before, when MWO had a much richer player base. But the ingenious decision to combine group and solo queues in a quick play makes it simply impossible to select teams of even approximately equal strength. And, if we get into battles that end with a score of 9:12 - 11:12, this is just an accident and luck, and not the result of the work of a matchmaker.
100% AGREE!!!

I used a Stalker 3F with a pair of MRM 40's almost exclusively to get my 8000 missile damage, 80 damage per volley adds up quick, and its available as a trial mech available to anyone any time there is a missile based challenge around.
Even a little SRM based Clan Jenner can dish out around 500 damage per game in lots of players hands too, with some players doing much more of course.
Unfortunately the majority of the MWO players do not use any similar builds and go "Full LURM Mode" immediately when there is Missile Damage that needs to be done!

If anything the game has gone away from LRMS as far as I can tell, most likely due to all the LRM-hate out there.
Ehm.... THIS :

Apparently, you and I are playing completely different games. In parallel universes.

Don't worry... I find the lower tiers a little better to play in... tier 3 is a complete mess with a c-load of "headless chickens"...
When the PSR Reset happend I was like 25% in Tier 2 but after a while somehow things went really bad and now I am stuck in Tier 3 most of the time because of those "chickens" indeed!
I think only about 15 matches of every 100 matches are actually really enjoyable or fun to play!
A week ago or so I had a very unique match that VERY RARE and really cool to experience :
It was like we were an actual squad that was dropped on a planet that looks like the new map and we had to kill all enemy units on that planet!
100% Game worthy experience with excellent immersion!
Wish there were more of those a lot more often!

Might I recommend the BlackJack BJ-2(L) with quad SRM6-artemis, XL235 engine, 1 extra heat sink, three jump jets and 6 tons of ammo? Did close to 1.200 damage earlier today
IS mech with XL Engine ?!
Thanks, but NO THNX!!!
