I want to figure out some way to build the AL with 2x SRM-6 and 2x Large Laser. I know it shouldn't work on a 50 Ton mech but damn would it be fun.

This is my standard Hunch build (forget the designation) - two missiles one on each shoulder (srm6) and two large lasers (one each arm). Almost full armor, 300 ammo on the srm6, endo, and DHS with a XL 260, I think. it gets to about 80 km. I am trying to remember this on the fly.

Although, in the caldera, a COM 3 streaker kicked my rear hard; I couldn't aim up and down fast enough or accurately enough as the Commando went over and down hills.

Fun to play tho.

My Atlas RS was best before ECM patch with 4 m/lasers, Guass, 2 SRM6's and moves at 61KPH and 70 Alpha/ 1.28 cooling. 2 Alpha's took pretty much anything out.

Now though i got the DC with 2x Mlas, 3x SRM6's, Guass & UAC/5 which lays down a 75 Alpha and moves 56.7KPH. This also as ECM and cools at 1.18 but you struggle over heat this thing :-)

How the hell can you have DHS, Endo, Fibrous at the same time ? I can hardly have enough space with DHS alone.

Trade secrets, my friend. But seriously, "The once great C1F" just barely manages to even it all out. He's at 100% crit slot used with 65/65 tons. Not a single free crit slot, not a single free drop of weight. That's why I say his build is flawless. At least it was, back when he could actually shoot his missiles. He's my only non-Light to have Ferro. The rest just have DHS/Endo. If you want the entire build word per word, PM me. But I don't see why you'd care because the Mech is now defunct and entirely obsolete. Its glory days are behind it in what is now purely a 300m brawler's game. I have yet to bring myself to scrap it. I think I'll just leave it like a statue, totally unmodified, standing proudly in my hanger awaiting its glory days to return. I already look at it sometimes and think, "Ah, those were good times."

Hmmmm so ECM hasn't killed LRMs or SSRMs...but...
There are almost no builds with LRMs...and the only ones with SSRMs are the builds with ECM. Got to be coincidence..right?

I'll be up front and honest....unlike 99% of the ECM supporters crowd.

Now I only field mech which can pack ECM AND SSRMs....that's your WIN BUTTON right there for you.

Before the last patch I only had 1 build with 2 SSRMs in it before ECM..so I could hit the occasional laggy light you used to see.

Now it's ALL laggy lights with ECM and SSRMs (guess what...ECM makes ping worse and lights even harder to hit )..and to compete with that you need...yup ..a laggy light with ECM and SSRMs.

Either that or the DDC...with, you guessed it...ECM and SSRMs.

Of course you can still circlestrafe brawl like a n00b in the middle of the field furball every game with ACs and lasers and get the odd kill if that's your unthinking, twitch gamer, strategyless thing

So all those wins and kills and such I get without using SSRM's, or ECM, are just figments of my imagination? (Protip: My teammates usually supply at least one ECM mech.)

Got it.

My favorite is the CTF-3D. 4 LLs, XL340 and maxed armor. Not the best alpha or dps, but it has a good ranged punch and gives you versatility and the mobility to clear yourself for quick shots when you're bunched up with the assault guys. It also makes a pretty good rabbit for breaking standoffs since it's a little quicker than most expect it to be (85ish kph). What's also nice is that if you group the lasers to left and right sides, you can take your shots without fully exposing yourself around corners and buildings... and you can always jump right over the small ones when you need to somewhere in a hurry It's my giant pop-tarting toaster. It excels at nothing in particular, but can contribute in almost any scenario.

I have 2, both designed for pugging:

CTF-1X

4x med laser
1x large laser
1x ac10 (3tons ammo)

DHS(17), ES, max torso armor

-----

CN9-AL

2x med laser (right arm)
2x med pulse laser (CT)
2x SRM6 (LT)

ES, DHS(15), max armor


I'm not MC rich, so I've built these myself using cbills gained solely from PUGing. Like others, I am constantly tweaking these loadouts for one reason or another, but never too far from what I've listed here.

you sound pretty mad.

And you are a baddie. There is no reason to be mad at streak cats because it lulz to pwn them as my ECM disables them and they just spin around in circles screaming at their monitor about what a baddie they are at MWO.
