I've got the missile Hunchback IIC, the Griffins, the missile Jenner IIC, and I'm not sure any IS non-Huginn light mechs are particularly good at it, and even the Huginn is kinda eh. Any I'm missing? For what it's worth, I'd be down for heavy fast missile mechs. Timber Wolf is a fun one, for example.

Any I'm missing? Hunchback 4SP, Oxide, im pretty sure theres a good shadow hawk variant that does it as well. The catapult can be pretty nippy and is now small enough that it doesnt draw all the fire in the world if you want some heavies.

SHD-2D2 is excellent something like this works very well, especially in scouting SHD-2D2

Thats always a pucker moment when you're tooling around in your locust ahead of everyone else and run around a building face to face with a huge brawler like that. If you're lucky you just run like hell saying "KILL A KILL A OH GOD HELP KILL A" if you're not lucky he just looks at you and fires a weapon group and you disintegrate

Artificer posted:Summoner and/or Linebacker as SRM fast delivery cars? After the TBR build I posted the next mech is the Mad Dog. I asked this exact question last week and ended up with the MDD-B. It's really powerful but extremely fragile. I mastered it but went back to the TBR afterwards.

Alternatively Hello The hunchback 4SP doesn't really boat missiles being that it only has two of them, but it is fast, has outrageous structure quirks that effectively make it a mini atlas and generous missile velocity, cooldown and spread quirks. It's a must have mech if you like brawling.

Artificer posted:Summoner and/or Linebacker as SRM fast delivery cars? Summoner can work, like this. I would recommend the MDD, TBR, and CPLT over it for pure SRMs though. The SMN is the fastest mech for this, has missile spread quirks, the most armor, and pretty dang good jumpjets which should mean it's the best, but its missile hardpoints are spread out so much that you're always always going to get poo poo groupings on anything you fire at, which is a problem the other mechs don't have. If you ever wanna do SSRMs, this is absolutely your mech, way better than the Stormcrow at this specific loadout (and only this one!).

SHC-Pursuer Fast, Jumpy,, Hidey, SRMs. It's the cousin of the Dadlas. Instead of being a terror on the battlefield, be the thing that goes bump in the night. Results may vary.

Best SRM bomber is probably the jenner IIC with a reduced engine and all SRM6s imo. If you're good at positioning lights and finding stragglers quickly it can one shot some mechs and two shot others. Even if you're not getting butt shots with it you can just dump your alphas into someone's front and make them invalid if they ever actually have to fight another mech. Some people prefer SRM4s because it lets them get more ammo, more heatsinks, or a bigger engine, but 6s really are terrifying if you use them properly. No real reason to buy the oxide with that thing existing.

SRM4s have higher DPS due to a lower refire rate, too. That said, I prefer sixers.

I feel like im shilling for a money mech here, but the bushwacker P1 can run quad 6s with a full deadside at 87kph or 6x4s at 111kph (might as well XL for the speed of you're gonna have srms in both torsos anyways) heaviest armored medium around too (4sp might be overall thicker but that's alot of structure, haven't run the numbers tho)

The Griffin 3M can run 4SRM4As in an asym build, has missile cooldown and velocity quirks, and is tougher than the Bushwacker, with more structure and good shield arms. The 2N has four missile slots and ECM and velocity quirks, but isn't nearly as tough and can't run asymmetric builds. Shadow Hawks are about as tough as Bushwackers, have better hitboxes (but not quite as nice as the Griffin's), and all of the variants except the 5M have plenty of missile hardpoints. The big winners for SRM boating are the 5M (three asym missile slots with no space issues, cooldown and velocity quirks) and the 2D2 (two asym missile slots, plus one in CT and one in the head, plus both missile quirks). The Centurion A has that huge tough shield arm, 3SRM6A, and missile speed/CD quirks. It isn't as tough as it was once upon a time, but it's still tough if you can take hits on that shield arm. I don't really see any reason to spend real money on a medium SRM bomber, especially a boondoggle like the Bushwacker.

If you're going for pure SRM making GBS threads everywhere then the trebuchet fulfills that pretty well. I'd still say that the griffin is the best IS medium for SRMs, but the trebuchet trades in all the survivability of the griffin and smashes it into shooting even more missiles faster.

Cease to Hope posted:The 4SP is significantly tougher than any 55t mech right now. I dont remember the exact armor + structure total on the 4sp's torso but its 123 on the bushwacker. 82 armor 41 structure. Also, as someone with 250k+ exp on each of the shadowhawks, I can unequivocally say their only advantage in srm bombing over a bsw is jumpjets. I will agree the ecm on the griffin is nice, buts its definitely not thicker. And as for everyone who's always claiming the bsw has garbage arm geom.. I'd say over 85% of fights I lose both arms before torso armor is ever breached. Unless I'm intentionally hiding one (like if it has my main cannon) and even then half the time.

Or perhaps it is, just not the good kind.

I will chime in and say the trebuckets are significantly less worthless after the great arm arc unfuckening a few weeks back. The Treb 7m can do stupid, stupid things with cooldown modules since its missile quirks are generic. If you must lurm, its comparable to that one
