My superious smugness is only matched by Trump, so ill pass on the dragon.

Black Knight looks interesting, if a little boring on the variety. Also buildwise its kinda like laservomit warhammers with lower hardpoints and more tonnage.
Thunderbolts it is then.

e: Turns out that the dragon is not actually a good enough mech to duel KDK3s reliably.

To be sure, it was way funnier pre-clans and ghost heat, and devs were aghast It could 3-shot a stationary Atlas so they just HAD to put in ghost heat.

You can put LRMs on a catapult? I guess its technically possible. But no. you should be doing this:

IME you don't need that much ammo, you won't live that long, and keeping them in the ears is making you even more susceptible to disarmament. Drop 150 missiles and some leg armour for two heatsinks. If you have an XL295 laying around, an extra jump jet is very useful too.

Probably because you prefer single shot weapons over the Clan UACs. It's cool, my Carebear runs with a LB20 over a UAC20.

When you're firing 80 tubes of LRMs the precision doesn't matter that much.

Nothing else can really fit in there unless you drastically shave off armor. Just leave it as is.

You could strip your shield arm and run AMS, might be worth it for this particular week.

TBH though I much prefer to run with two mediums in the CT and a standard engine. The mounts are so low you usually need to get close anyway.

I no longer bitch about cheaters because they're everywhere and I don't give a gently caress.

Also I hope Skoll's back is better, so he can pull the stick out his rear end.

But seriously, I hope your back is better Skoll.

Same poo poo as usual. Lots of people using dual CERPPCs in summoner nipples or hunchback IIC hunches because some high tier player apparently popularized them. Most people are terrible at aiming them and mitigating damage with poptarting because they don't understand what the gently caress they're doing, so they're not really much of a threat. Streaks are still garbage because they probably have the worst damage spread possible out of anything in the game, but the IS ones are at least usable now thanks to having 1.5 second shaved off their cooldown.

Clan autocannons are a marginally less godlike, but otherwise everything is pretty much the same.

Still experimenting with it, but the kit fox may become a usable mech with the release of its hero version, because it uses a smaller engine than the arctic cheetah and can have no hard mounted jumpjets, which means you can mount 8 small pulse lasers and 2 machine guns on it (albeit without ECM, with ECM you just have to shave off a gun or two and you're still packing major heat.) It is also very heavily quirked, unlike the cheetah which gets jack squat for omnipod bonuses.

If only clan small lasers didnt ghost heat over 6.
And shared a ghost heat group with mediums.

Id rather go with 6 pulses and ecm over 8 pulses with no ecm tbh.
Which brings us back to the artic cheetah with its "+20% broken hitboxes" quirk.

If you can handle the ghost heat or stagger 2x4 thats totally fine.
The game favours still 1-button-gently caress-it builds though.

I'm having some fun with the Viper-C (5x SPL, 4x MG). Though I'm using 6 weapon groups. It's a fun gimmick mech. Wubble-Crow is still a lot better.
