Hadn't planned on picking up a Stalker, but now I might.

Which one gets the 2 AMS systems?

Is it any good besides that?

[SpiralRazor]

The 5s.


The F has better torso twist and the M has a 5/5 weapons allocation. Those are the only viable Stalkers.


More people will be using AMS over the next week, as missile regain some popularity.

If it has a 5 give it a drive.

I think I just found the mech I will use as my LRM Boat for the LRM Apocalypse.

-3H, the arms have 20 tubes instead of 10, able to fire twin LRM-20 in 1 slavo.

Eh..not enough of a difference to make it > the S,M or F.

[Death Mallet]

Awesome! I hadn't actually played with that before.

Stalker with:

4x LRM 15 + Artemis
5x ML
2x AMS
1x TAG

on the way! Gonna cost a fortune though. . . gotta scrape up some cbills!

I'm already prepped for the LRM apocalypse.

5 LRM15s
4 MLAS
TAG

[SpiralRazor]

With 5 15s youre not carrying very much ammo, or you are very, very slow:)


My 5 10s carry 1600 ammo and the mech still moves 58kph and has the same 4 Mlas.

A Wouldn't say "better" but it has something onthers don't.
4N has nothing. What's the point?

My C-Bills are on an XL engine, that or it's dead-slow.

XL300. Runs fairly hot, but is manageable.

[Shadowsword8]

It's not the LRM boats that are going to be really dangerous on big maps. It's the triple or quad PPC/gauss snipers.

The point is that both the N and H are pointless:)

I run the 280XL....fast enough to still target those lasers and enough tonnage to carry lotsa clouds.

the 5th missile hardpoint in the 5M is a NARC tube, which fires your LRMs single file, making it kind of useless for LRMs, but good for streakboat/big energy combo builds.

the 3H can dump 50LRMs in one wave, will overwhelm AMS, and do all of its damage before the other guy can get to cover, and makes it the better LRM boat. both are terrible for SRM brawling compared to the 3F

the 5S with dual AMS and a bunch of PPC is good for countering LRM boats, or with general SRM/MLAS is a good missile shield support for the assault ball.

the 4N is completely pointless as far as anyone can tell thus far.

No, it doesn't. It hasn't been a NARC tube since forever, unless you put a NARC in it.

my bad, it was back when i was playing stalkers.

its still got way too few tubes to make it a good LRM boat compared to the 3H, but the CT tag slot is nice.
