<-- 85-6 w/l.....just won a 5v8 by being the meatshield. Have only lost to premades when we were 6v8 or 7v8.

2 PPCs on the arm, 2 Medlasers CT, 2 SSRM2s on the RT, endosteel, double heat sinks, stock engine.

But oh wait PPCs are useless right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jason1138]

lol @ 85-6 BECAUSE of your super Centurion and no other reason

[Bloody Moon]

Forgot to mention you are also playing in a premade.

Oh and a Steiner in a Medium? Not an Assault? Quite surprising.

[Leetskeet]

Nope.

I'd body a 2 PPC Centurion in any of the trial mechs.

[Relic1701]

Impressive loadout, but with only 0.99 heat efficiency (presuming the same 14 DHS that I got when test building this), not massively efficient,

Might try this myself, but drop to just the one PPC, maybe an ER, as I'll have 7 extra tons for HS.

[Murzao]

I've been in many 3, 4, 5, and 6 man teams so if those are 'premades', then you got me. I've won many games where it was 6 people vs 8.

You run 2 PPCs, so you can snipe the hill dwellers, and then switch to your short range weapons for the lights that charge you. Almost never fire all your weapons at the same time so you don't need a godly amount of heat sinks.

I have base capped with the build, I have 1v5 base defended with the build buying enough time for our team to cap, it brawls, it snipes, it tanks. I have also pwned LRMboat heavy premades with it since they love hitting the hill/building.

oh and I'm in a merc unit serving House Steiner, they pay the best.

GDL style!

[Jason1138]

indeed, the centurion is probably the tankiest mech in the game

[Hexenhammer]

PPC CN9-AL Cent OP? I'm sure they are at 90m or less.

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

Its the cauldron-born of the inner sphere, it just refuses to die and looks good doing it.

[Zakie Chan]

Tried the build

2 ppc
2 ssrm2
2 med laser
14 dbl heatsinks
std 200
endo

Not a bad build, works well as a shadow to another mech. Lights make you work for it though.

[Murzao]

Lights always make you work for it, unless you pack a triple srm6 rack.....but they will not try to kill you with your streaks+medlasers as long as you aren't off solo......or they get the courage to try and wolfpack you with a few more light mechs.

edit:The build is 14 double heat sinks in total, so you are only adding another 5 DHS aside from engine ones.

Interesting build. I was under the impression that more the 7 double heatsinks is actually worse than using single heatsinks?

I might try out this build, it's the energy version of my CN9-AH variant/build that was removed from the game. Although I much prefer ballistics.

The Centurian is the most under appreciated mech in MWO(and my favorite ride ATM) with the possible exception of the Commando.

Every time I pilot the commando this exact situation happens.

Chased by Atlas, team kills it, LRM cat shoot at me...



PGI, why you no give us bad a$$ red planet map?

You'll get a yellow planet and like it!

premade.nuff said.

not saying the build doesn't work,or isn't fine or whatever.just saying that your k/d or w/l is pointless to post if you are in a premade.of course it's going to be ridiculously inflated when all you're doing is steam rolling pugs.

Hell,you could roll in a commando with nothing but flamers and a small laser and still get the same K/D in a premade eventually.

[Vapor Trail]

Sure it works. It's even lighter than the GaussKitty.

However, is it even close to as efficient as a Dual Gauss?

A dual Gauss setup is putting out as much damage as your entire energy armament every four seconds. It doesn't have to switch to backups when it gets hot or enemies get close. It doesn't have to slack fire. It can just go Energizer Bunny all over you until it runs out of ammo or you run out of internals.

All you've proven is that the PPC can be shot. Not that it's balanced.

[Ultrabeast]

You can use any lame build and win with it if you're dropping with a strong team. It's called pugstomping. Not very cool to brag about it. You just look like a choade.

Except for the fact it gets cored in under a minute. And within 20secs it's arms are gone. Streaks

Skye Rangers... That name sounds familiar.

Did we (Dark Sabers) face you in the RHoD preseason?
