Every pubbie is convinced they're the one carrying the team and that the game is lost without them. Every pubbie is also wrong.

Triple AC5 is so much DAKKA it's a blast to play.
:smugdog:

On my bountry hunter I started with the AC20 and ended up downgrading to the AC10. On your build I'd drop from 3 to 1 jumpjet in favor of maxing your arm armor and adding in some more ammo for the AC10.

The singe jumpjet is just to help you up terrain and give you some ability to spin quick on people circling you.

Basically the meta-mech build is what I run: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=348&l=9b902345c7af042bdf9bb6507e863aaf730e2808

This is mostly the build that I run, but since I like keeping Arm and Torso ML's separate, and I know that if I put one ML in it's own weapon group, I'd never use it. I just replaced that ML with a flamer. It doesn't seem like a lot, but there are plenty of times in a close brawl where I've shut my opponent down since they're running hot anyway. I also stick with the AC10 instead of AC20, mostly so I can have something to do when I'm not in range of the medium lasers.

So I booted the game up for the weekend after a long absence and boy did the Archer kill the poo poo out of solo queue match quality. Quite an accomplishment given how awful it already was.

The event is wrecking the solo queue for heavies in general. Which is fine because I usually play mediums 😐👍

Is there any good heavy IS brawler besides the two mentioned in the OP (Tbolt and Jager)? I'm looking to fool around with ACs or SRMs and I've got a Jager already so I figure I mise well mix it up chassis-wise, too.

Do you need it to be IS? I have a very fun 4xSRM6-A 5xSPL timberwolf that blows holes in things. If you need IS there's a catapult that can do a SRM6 build well, and will only get better once it gets reduced in size in an upcoming patch.

When they become available for c-bills I'd recommend all of the Marauders because they are pretty good.

Marauders and Warhammers, but they're only MC at the moment. Both are very dakka friendly...

Ummmm if you want to push the boundaries of "good" IS heavies. There's a variant of the Caraphract that can mount quad AC5. There's an Orion or two that can get away with AC20 and SRMs for brawling purposes.

Or you can save your money and get some clan heavies. As mentioned before the Timberwolf makes a great brawler. Ebon Jaguar can be outfitted with decent AC fits.

Probably won't put a build up there coming from someone I don't know unless it can be verified good.

I listed 5 different variants for the BH and the 3R on the previous page.

Also, I find it funny how 228 and other people aren't even trying to hide that they use Helios any more. Seriously when someone gets 1200 damage and 7 kills in a solo queue while never getting closer than 800m, you can't tell me thats skill. I guess I need to "git gud". So can't wait for the finals where the fights take 3-4 times as long because none of them can aim for themselves.

I found it, the Marauder will be available for C-Bills on the 19th this month.
It is so stupidly expensive to buy mechs with MC, if you have the cash you get much more value from a mastery pack.

I think i'm about to get my first timberwolf. Hellbringer's good, but i've been wanting something a bit beefier and brawlier on the clan side.

Do any particular models stand out as far as get/don't get, either due to unique hardpoints or good gear built in?

I was just noticing that the -a LT has some negative quirks... because it has 3 super high mounted energy mounts. that looks really sexy.

Get any of them that has that CT energy hard point. I think the A/C/D all have that mount on it. The Prime and S both lack it. I'm pretty sure the negative quirks are just reduce yaw speed. Nothing too crippling.

Not at all. The Timber Wolf can't hide machinegun ammo in the legs, and it can't mount enough machineguns to make them worthwhile.
