You can fit 3x UAC5 2x UAC10 (or 4 UAC10s) on that mech and still not have heat problems, I don't know why you'd put 6 AC2s on it.

This might come as a surprise, but some of the heroes are good and many others are garbage.

If you have the loot, go for the Mastery Packs.

If you just want a hero, these are varying levels of good/okay:

Misery
Sparky
Firebrand
Ilya
X5

e: also, I forgot. I'm 'nerfgun' in game if anybody ever wants to group up. I'm not WoL but I'm kind of an okay guy anyway.

The oxide seems to run around and shoot people in the dick with multiple srms

What's probably the best missile boat to get into? One of the clan mechs? I wound up grabbing an oxide and an x-5 and a top dog.

Importantly, the torsos and arms from the stormcrow-D. Due to how omni technology works, any Stormcrow chassis (determined by the center torso) can carry any stormcrow build; you just have to put on the right limbs.

Does it matter if I get a champion mech if I want a stormcrow NOW and just swap out certain parts later?

What's the appeal of the X-5? I thought it looked kinda boring and no one ever seems to mention it, let alone recommend it. For that matter, what does the Death's Knell bring to the table for fun or competency?

It's a medium that runs at 120+ kph is why I bought it

You can go up and down on SRM and engine sizes for more heat sinks/speed, but that's the general idea you're gonna want to run for the X5.

As tempting as it is, it's not worth dropping the MLs to gain free tonnage - the X5 can't stay in the pocket like an SPL Firestarter or ACH can, and has to do sort of "strafing runs" so it's nice to be able to reach out and touch the other team at range.

I wound up doing this:

Things I've learned playing by myself:

Let the pubbie hoard go first and get shot for you

If you're flanking with a light or medium, do not expect people to follow on killing the lrm boats

People love sniping mechs and lrm boats

Lrma are more effective as indirect fire weapons that you can see/remember a clean arc rather than a hide and fire and hope they hit someone.

The arrow is an rear end in a top hat robot and a lot of fun pew pew

I didn't say they were primo, best in class, I said people would buy them

Like do I want an oxide for 1k mc if I have some Christmas cash or grind it out? It's a lot easier to shell that out over the usual price
