So most of my builds been devoured by powercreep and i need something that can go toe to toe with legendary p2w bs.
Mad cat ii-b variant with 2xUAC10/2xUAC5 is what i've been running before but clearly after facing against new gauszillas and moonwalkers i did not have enough dakka AND THEY DID! FFS!
Moonwalker was clearly nerfed by LAA, so im not sure if its really worth it now. what is can even do? add another UAC 5 in side torso? CT ballistic HP is clearly useless too.
Right now there is sale going on and im on the fence wherever i should wait for gauszilla and currently unavailable mechs to become MC or just get something right now.
Need an advice from ppl that been active in a game. i want to ruin fun and everyone's lives in quickplay too!

After hag buff this felt kinda stupidly OP https://mwo.nav-alph...=4287ebcf_BAS-A

Just got Night Gyr H and its honestly a blast, dual hag 30s with single CERLL, never had better games before.

Lost this game but still had a blast

All Legendary mechs would come out as Hero mechs in a few months time and available for all.

Would it still be considered P2W then?

I gone over replies and so far looks like community bet is on HAGs after their accuracy buff.
So i should focus on mech that boats HAGs and lasers for ultimate scummy delete CT alpha instead of AC/UAC dakka?

sidenote:
Wdyt about running 3xLBX10+2UAC10 on moonwalker or something else that can fit it better?

Moonwalker, in my experience, has kind of nerfed speed and agility, so it's a give and take for that extra UAC5 if you build it like dire 2x UAC10 + 3x UAC5.

LB20X seems to work okay tho, but it ain't IS LB20X, so it's max-range is just double of the optimal, as in at 720.

I like the 2x UAC10 + 2x CAC20, but it's not really agile enough for a poke application that you might as well commit dakka.

You mean, with quirks turned down or removed?

[An6ryMan69]

I like my Moonwalker but I am not convinced it is notably better than the MC-II-B I got for free like two years ago.

If you want to put HAG on it then I see no use at all in paying cash for it - the main point of this mech is the 6X dakka hard points; leaving half your dakka hard points empty makes no sense.

[ScrapIron Prime]

And for the newest fellow, the Blight has two wonderful high hard points. But no quirks. Overall, the MAD-3R is a better mech. The Blight is just paying for that glorious second high hard point.

One of my best performing Mechs

https://mwo.nav-alph...=e0b0f043_DWF-C

3xLLas, 4xUAC2, ECM, 2xJumpJets

Nasty mixed long range config. Can run a little warm after a while, so stay near cover

[Vincefeld]

decided to buy Deathstrike after all feedback.
Now i run 2xHag30+6xERML on it = 96 alpha with oversized 375XL.
dont know if this is optimal layout...
1)could drop engine, remove ferro armor and add cooling
2)mount 2HLL+4ERML to increase alpha further

Those shoulder mounts take a lot of getting used to.

Yep sometimes those get shot while I think I'm fully in cover.
