My HBK-4G(F)

Try putting the ammo in the legs, remove case, and upgrade the engine to 225. (practically the 225 only weighs .5 tons more than the 215 since it has an extra built-in headsink) Frankly - I always keep my hunchie leg armor at 30ish and I think that I've only lost a leg one or twice. At 41 your ammo will never get hit.

2 part question: A: what happens when you attempt to alpha strike with this fitting. and B: how much crack do you need to smoke before pulling that trigger?

Where is there and engine guide? I really need to speed up my Hunchies?
I have been just using the 200 engine. I am shooting to the 80kph range.

For a hunchback you want a standard 250 Engine or a Standard 260 Engine. The standard 260 engine will only really fit in the 4P swayback build with 9 medium lasers. For most other variants you want the standard 250 engine. You can look at the best of hunchback builds threads for some of the best builds out there. You can find the thread here if you want to see some proven and optimal builds. The Standard 250 engine gives you 81KPH and 89 with speed tweak.

The problem with a standard 200 engine is that you lose one of the advantages of having a medium which is more speed. A cataphract can go faster than a 200 engine provides with a standard 300 engine, have the same fire power (or more) and have more armor. Not only do you "run" faster with a better engine but it also allows you to turn quicker too.
