2 MLs, 4 SRM4s? Though I might class that as more "passable" than worthwhile. I haven't touched it in weeks.

Or go XL, but you can fit it without an XL and in SRM range why would you if you don't have to.

Use jumpjets and never back away from targets, turn around and run away. Always be pivoting and turning during a brawl

I've made a vindicator 1r that performs okay, and does pretty good in scouting. Lots of clan mechs are piling streaks and mgs, which the vindicator handles really well with its structure -> armor buff that it just received. All I do with this is open a volley on clan mech legs at range, blast them again when they enter brawling range, and then exit the fight by jumping over something so I can peck at them from range. It doesn't do well on really hot maps like caustic valley or terra therma, but on average temp or cool maps it is able to chop off clan legs really well. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=206&l=7c35c87c6b28968bf2f7371ee12ca3d2418a5866 Also, the PHX3S is a hilariously effective scout mech. I mounted an ERLL and two medium lasers on it, and it is able to very effectively kite clan mechs forever, especially if they didn't bring any ERMLs, ERLLs, or ERLPLs. Having arms and jump jets means you can run directly away from the enemy, jump, air twist, fire, and then land and masc back up to full speed away from them, so as long as you're piloting correctly they are never actually able to close distance on you unless they're in a cheetah, but you can just tear those apart anyway.

I don't know if I'd be confident of killing an ACH using just one large and 2 medium lasers before it shot off my arms or something in a PHX. But hey if it works for you keep doing it.

I've been using this loadout from metamechs as a PPC jumpsniper VND-1AA It's kinda fun? It's still a vindicator but it gets this for quirks PPC VELOCITY: 50.00 % PPC HEAT GENERATION: -15.00 % ENERGY HEAT GENERATION: -10.00 % MISSILE COOLDOWN: 15.00 % MISSILE VELOCITY: 10.00 % ARMOR BONUS (CT): 14.00 ARMOR BONUS (LT): 11.00 ARMOR BONUS (RT): 11.00 ARMOR BONUS (LA): 12.00 ARMOR BONUS (RA): 12.00 ARMOR BONUS (LL): 11.00 ARMOR BONUS (RL): 11.00 I'd love to try a team of four of these on Polar scouting one day

PPCs work really poorly on scouting, and even more poorly on mechs that can be easily run down by all of the clan mechs that you'll be facing. The VND1AA is okay for ppc shooting in quickplay though.

turn it up TURN ME ON posted:I need all your tips on being the best Urbanmech driver ever. R60: Run a STD180 and two ERLLs (machine gun builds are OK but there are better mechs for that). Get behind a ridge or a friendly assault, fire your lasers, tank any return fire with your deadside. Repeat basically forever because you last forever. R63: Run a XL180 and two LPLs in the torsos. Hover around the edges of the battlefield poking pretty much nonstop. After every shot, pretend you're at the Bolshoi and start spinning and jumping to spread the damage all around. R60L: You could run some lasers but why. Run a STD100, an AC/20, and 21 rounds of ammo. Hug the fattest brawler on your team and shoot whatever he's shooting (preferably from between his legs for extra style points). Get 400 damage every match.
