Nothing says "surprise motherf****r" better than 100 tons of pain and death lurking behind the corner.

I like my kitchen sink D(F) build myself.
2 ML arm mount, 1 LL chest mount,
1 AC5
1 UAC5
2 SSRM (sub out 1 or more SRM4's if you're so inclined, hotter but more brawl punch)
creep up the back armor to 22/33/22 minimum, since its a light's game at the moment.
Drop in a 325 STD engine, so you're still putting out damage till the moment you're cored.
stuff the legs full of ammo, and everything else full of heatsinks
it's got 1.4 heat efficiency so you can alpha repeatedly, and Torso alpha almost forever.
It cruises at 56.5 which is faster than those silly dakkaphracts, and faster than people THINK an atlas can go (you'd be surprised what even 1 extra alpha to someones back can do).

Its a comparatively cheap repair when it inevitably dies too, which matters if you're not running premium time.

EDIT 56.5 with the speed talent I'm thinking. forgot I'm talented out at this point.

An Atlas is a 100 ton migrating force of death. I wish I had a better connection now so that I could show you what a Atlas can do. You just need to pilot it right, no continuous alpha striking and don't get caught alone have somebody in a medium cover you for light mechs.

Hi !

The Atlaspilots will more cry when the Dire Wolf enters the battlefield next year...

But..well the Atlas is good. Maybe your problem is that you always play alone. When yes...search a clan, when no..learn to play.

Don't think so. The Dire Wolf will be hampered by Heat sinks. Can you imagine a Nova carrying 12 MPL? And they just can't give Clan-Mechs other equipment than IS-Mechs without totally destroying the ballance. An Atlas carrying the same stuff as a Dire Wolf won't be outmatched. Clan-Mech surely will just have another look and placement of hardpoints than IS-Mechs...
