I might go ahead and give the CN9-A a try.
Using those mechs feels awkward to me, because I have one free hand that just...does nothing. I'm like, "what am I using this hand for? I wish I could punch a mech with it or something."
I understand in the universe the hands are there for more than aesthetic purposes, just sucks they are useless in this game.
Edit: Went ahead and bought a Centurion CN9-A. Named it "Horatius." In this mech, I declare, I will be like Hoartius at the Bridge!
I'm not sure if I did it well though. I didn't increase the armor at all. I changed the structure to Endo-Steel, was going to change to Ferros, but that took up way too many slots.
My loadout is:
2 ML
1AC/10 (2 ammo)
2 SRM6 (2 ammo)
1 SRM2
10 Heat Sinks
STD Engine 200
Speed: 64.8
Firepower: 55
Heat Efficiency: .88
Armor - Standard: 272
I won't even be able to increase my engine really, since I don't have the tonnage.
Any help on making this a good short-range support mech.
Get 2 shield hands and run 3x srm6 with 4t of ammo, 2x mlas, 14 DHS, 250 standard. 55dmg alpha on a 50 ton mech running 87.x km/h.
