I like my Zombies... no you dolt, it means mechs that just won't stop. Much armor, no ammunition, most likely brawlers like that Hunchback 4P. Though things like the Cab, that 55 with two large lasers and not much else would also qualify. Another thing about the humble IS Laser is you can find them everywhere. And they're cheap. Oh no you've lost a laser, we've got one in the salvage pile. And don't get me started on med laser, you'll find that in ANY salvage pile. Heck even that one time we had to fight the clans, guess what, we STILL got a pile of med lasers in the salvage. However, good luck finding replacement for that shiny clan pulse. Or paying for it, if you find it.

The best custom Javelin I've ever seen splits the difference between the original -10N and the -10F variant, with two medium lasers in the right torso and the SRM-6 in the left. Two extra heat sinks go a long way toward making it work.
@WolfHreda
@WolfHreda 4 күн бұрын
Fun fact: The UM-R80 is basically a special forces dingbat that goes 2/3/3, has only energy weapons, and mounts both ECM and BAP. It's so close to being perfect. How? By dropping one heat sink and upgrading to doubles, you have just enough weight to max out the armor at 7 tons... And just enough space to swap it for Stealth Armor. Sure, you'd have to put the SPL in the head and move the TAG from the right arm to the left, but then you have a nigh-invisible urban combatant with a 9 hex short range and the ability to call down artillery on your head before you even noticed it's there.

To expand upon the snippet about X-Pulse Lasers here, X-Pulse Lasers have the same range as their standard Inner Sphere Laser counterparts (except the Small X-Pulse, which has the ER Small range brackets), at the expense of more heat, usually about 50% more heat. If you're boating a lot of lasers, I wouldn't generally recommend X-Pulses. But if you only have a couple, they're worth it. Especially anytime you can replace one or more machine guns with Small XPLs. They're fantastic anti-infantry weapons.

As a MW 5 Merc's fan, having 4 AC2's Rapid Fires on my Mauler is just the biggest walking Flak cannon that is so fun to pilot. I know this is all Battletech based and rules and all, and I grew up to this, but never played it. MW5 Mercs is my first time getting to this world and it's fun and the sandbox helps me create a fun story arc for my Company. We deliver Pizza Supplies across the inner sphere. However there are no other forms of ultra except 5's in the game. Unless mods yadda yadda yadda (Console here).

@Khealos they don't jam.....no wait I believe they do actually. But my Mechs I have with AI pilots never seem to jam or over heat (I built them that way). But they well indeed overheating if your alpha striking several at once. I would have to double check on that. But as I said I am not on PC so no Mods for me. I have watched many players do Battletech at an old game store I used to frequently go to. And I played it a couple times in the Navy as well. But never truly immersed myself into it.

One thing worthy of note about autocannons: they are fantastic in combined arms against infantry. Unlike a medium laser whose 5 damage will only kill one trooper, an AC/5 will kill five troopers, ten in open terrain. Between that and inferno ammo for SRMs, the oft-maligned Shadow Hawk is a fantastic support unit against vehicles and infantry. The difference between RACs and UACs is that you can unjam the RAC in-game, while the UAC is out of commission for the rest of the match.
@Khealos
@Khealos 14 күн бұрын
That is true, but let's be honest - the VAST majority of Battletech players don't play combined arms. We are moving more into it, but really are using the BSP rules as opposed to the crunch Total Warfare. Digging it so far. Also true about the unjamming for the UAC, which is why we either house/optional rule to unjam it. A friend had fielded the Widowmaker Direwolf, and the first time he fired the UAC 20 it jammed - which is one reason I'm not a fan of either UACs or RACs. Thanks for watching!

Use the Marshal first, followed by the Viper, then the Nightsky Edit I thought about a Nova config I instead of the Nightsky but I don't have the record sheet and I'm too tired to verify if the extra heat sinks were gained by removing the jump jets or not.
