This is the ANH-1A build from Grim Mechs - 5xUAC-5: https://mwo.nav-alph...e5f221cf_ANH-1A

And this what I've been running for years - 4xAC-10: https://mwo.nav-alph...53c2522f_ANH-1A

Why is the first one meta and 2nd one not? Is it because of 50 vs 40 alpha? DPS is better in my build.

you have listed the 5 UAC5 build twice

other than that, the 4 AC10 has lower DPS when the UAC5s are doubletapped. It also has less damage potential from its ammo bins.

edit: the 4 AC10s are also more restricted by ghostheat, which is relatively lax on the 5 UAC5s

Apologies, the link is fixed now.

Doesn't the MechDB account for double-tapping and the jam chance in its DPS calculation?

AFAIK, it does not.

In the same vein, may we ask:

So which one is better amongst these four mechs?

(a) ANH with 5xUAC5
(b ) ANH with 2xUAC10 + 2xUAC5
(c) ANH with 4xAC10
(d) ANH with 6xAC5
