Seems like fun. I guess the only way to get any SR is by buying the packs? I was hoping for MC...

All new mech chassis are pack only for the first month, MC for the second, and CB/MC on the third

Not quite.

Q: When will the Stone Rhino variants be available for purchase in-game with MC or C-Bills?

• MC Release Date: January 23rd, 2024
  
• C-Bill Release Date: March 19th, 2024

Ouch.

Its always been this way i believe.

Here are mine:

SR-4: UAC20 + 2xUAC10 + 2xLBX10
https://mwo.nav-alph...b=7964401f_SR-4

SR-4: 4xLBX20 (ouch!)
https://mwo.nav-alph...b=c72ce78a_SR-4

Comment: You need DHS in your Stone Rhino... all those weapons (even 4x LBX20) makes your mech toasty.

Thanks! I tried to import them to DB and for some reason it was saying the codes were invalid? Must have been doing something wrong.

Only 5 tons of ammo for 4 guns? You sir have a very low life expectancy for yourself.

Not functional as better scorch? sr-k (no LPLs and moar SRMs and heatsinks).

Recommends extra DHS but has only two extra DHS in two builds combined .

tbh that quad LB20x can alpha 6 times before skilltree and is pretty ok for that role, but nerf engine a bit and have more than double that ATO value?

My buddy pointed out I somehow missed the 2 missile mounts in the CT lol. I like the LPL a bit more though TBH for better mid range engagement. I've always had a hard time getting the Scorch in range and having the 600m LPLs helps a lot imo. Albeit, it watses the HSL quirk.

[w0qj]

TTB just posted a YouTube for SR-K build: 2xLBX20 + 6xSRM6 + MASC + XL350
~I was about to comment that SR-K was to slow to chase Medium mechs, but with MASC...

Anyone have an opinion on this LRM80-Artemis / MPLx5 / AMS / Active Probe / 350XL build is better with TAG and 1 fewer MPL?

I'm under-utilizing weight in both builds.

Also does this weapon grouping make sense (not sure I properly understand how everything works):

1     MPL
1     MPL
   45 bottom LRM
   45 bottom LRM
1     MPL
1     MPL
  3 5 top LRM
  3 5 top LRM
12345 TAG

If this 150 damage alfa going main, I ll play only err ppc Adder, because MWO probably dead.

There is a pattern for games like this and WoWs and others (Star Citizen e.g.) that sell ships to seemingly intentionally release things too powerful, get a bunch of sales, then nerf them. I don't think that is fair to customers. It's the hard points that in particular should not be changed. Change the quirks if anything.

Huge alphas have been a thing. I have multiple mechs with over 100 damage alpha strikes...

My 2c would be to add 2 ER Large lasers and a TAG over 3 of the MPL. You can still use them as a backup when something gets close but they also wont be useless when youre LRMing from outside of the MPL's range.

The problem is:
1) This monster alfa not so hot, you can shoot again and again.
2) Its overshooting Daishi, its unforgivable
3) It killing easily Atlas front to front, unforgivable too.

I played some games without balance, every time it should be next new thing, more and more strong. And old things are history.
Dont like such.

There is no denying it is a strong mech, but doomsaying over a high alpha is just wrong. Especially if you want to use killing an Atlas as an 'unforgivable'.

These are all builds off the top of my head Ive been using since I started playing and their TTK for the Atlas CT in testing grounds. More to the point, these are done at 30m to negate the issue with spread for the LBX and SRMs which makes them useless at the average medium to long range combat that has been undeniably more prevalent than brawling.
