They're my favorite. That is all.

[Pr8Dator]

Mine too. Triple AC10 for the LOVE!

[TruePoindexter]

AC5 and UAC5 - and not on the damn Cataphract 4X.

[Elizander]

I love ACs, except when I am circle strafing and they are on my torso.

[Major Derps]

I too am loving the ACs. Though im not going to share my secrets on effective combos

Interesting... what's wrong with the 4X?

Stereotypical and I don't find it that effective.

Hunchback 4G - 3 ML 2 AC5
Cataphract 3D - 4 ML 2 UAC5
Cataphract IM - 3 ML 3 AC5

And others I can't think of right now.

Yes, its true that if you just want to play ACs and MLs the 4X is pretty redundant. The perfect mech would be the Muromets in this aspect. 4X is attractive only because of the flexibility given by the LRM5.

just wait for jagermech guys. It's a dedicated ballistic-boat.

I think that if we place 4 UAC/5s on it we'll have just enough room for 4 tons of ammo.

I think it doesn't help that I had high expectations for the 4X and low expectations for the others. I ended up disappointed by the 4X but love all the other Cataphracts. I've kept my 4X (2 AC10 2 MPL) but it's collecting dust.

Yikes - I chew through 6 tons of ammo with 2 UAC5 really quickly so I'm not sure how that's going to work. 4 AC5's though...

Ballistcs are awesome. Some more than others.

Even with Double Heat Sinks, most of them seem to perform better than the high end energy weapons..

dual AC2 hunchback

never stop the dakka (:

AC20's also make everything better (and dead)

[Aerowind]

I've honestly always been a fan of ballistic weapons, dating back to MW3. I was really quite young then. I packed a Supernova with 4 UAC/20s. Sure it had no armor. Or speed. Or really anything except excessive firepower, but one volley would usually knock a mech over and ruin its day.

As for this game, I've got a Hunchback 4h that packs every different size of AC at times. My K2 is running the rather cheesy dual AC/20 loadout (but damned if I can't take out and Atlas like he's not even there), and I've got an Ilya running with 3 UAC/5s.

Unfortunately I'm being swayed to the darkside that is SRMs. Please, save me.

Embrace the SRM. It's quite satisfying to JJ over an Atlas in an A1 and unload 36 SRM's into his face.

Dual AC/20...one love

In MW3 League play we would run Thors/Avatars with Dual UAC20's. If you land both AC's you would knock them over and kill them with the next shot.

Good, they should... Not only are they heavy as hell, but they need cooling and copious amounts of ammo as well.

I've just found true love in my dual UAC5 Cataphract. Once they sort out the netcode we're going to be wrecking face we've these things.
