What are you guys running?
Thinking of switching back to regular 235 engine and ac20
or maybe throw a uac5 on

Depending on how horrible my last match went with it.
Just a very situational gun, the Gauss is. Need a decent (and distant) line of sight for it to not blow up on you.
The Gauss is a sniper rifle, shouldn't run into close range combat with it.

AC/20 is good for close ups, but not long range.
AC/10 is decent of both worlds, so is the AC/5. Dependent on your heat situation and preferred damage output in a single shot versus reload time and tonnage.

(except for the c-bill bonus)
The only strength of the YLW is it's ability to mount for 10 slots of ballistic on its arm (instead of 9 on other variants), if you don't use it you're doing it wrong.
If you want anything else than an AC20 or twins UAC5s on a centurion go for a CN9-A or a CN9-D, the lower arm activator gives much more lateral mobility and the overall hardpoints are better than on the Wang.

- has torso twist equivalent to the other cents max arm movement which makes you the best zombie centurion
- can elevate the ac20 like no other mech in the game
- ac20 gets buffed tomorrow
- ff gets buffed tomorrow as there are no more repairs

Great idea! Although you do have to shave the armor a little bit though. Just tried this build and I had to take both legs down to 40 and a little off the shield arm. Other than that, fantastic build. Gives you the fire power and the speed you need.

Max Armor- FF
AC20
2 Medium Lasers
220 XL Engine - Top speed 71 or 75 with elite skills.
AMS
I keep 6 tons of AC20 ammo, and 1 ton of AMS in my right shoulder. Makes protecting from ammo crit shots easier. It`s a bit tricky with the XL as a brawler, but the aditional armor, elite skills which are worth getting, and a little tactical thinking, allows me to take on even SRM Cat brawlers. It`s a fantastic fit and i havent changed it since i made it when the Wang first came out. If your goin with guass, just replace the AC20 with it along with the ammo. I play that as more a support and stick back with it. And if you do use gauss, remember its a Centurian whose arms are blown off easily, so protect that arm, use your shield arm to deflect shots too. It can take a dual guass shot and stay on, so its worth it. Just remember protect protect protect that arm.

Ehhhh, I don't know about sticking an XL in the Wang. Especially one that only offers marginal speed. If all you are gaining is AMS and 2 more tons of ammo, I think it would be better to stick with the 250 STD and keep the speed/side cores. But hey, if it works for you, it works for you.

- DHS, Endo
- 280xl
- 2mplas
- ac20 with 4t of ammo
- fill up with heatsinks
Does 97.x km/h which makes it the 2nd fastest medium after the CN9-D (Cicadas are big lights imho).

Cicadas are just fat wanabe jenners to me. They only bring two things now over the Jenner, ballistics and ecm. I was really hoping their armor would be increased. Its kinda sad, most of their models have less armor than the Jenner light mech.

2 med pulses in your center torso and then a really big engine so you go 90 kmph + max armor. Who cares if your arm gets blown off.
