Orion VA is excellent. Runs hot after a while but can tank like gently caress, and its alpha is glorious. Might have to drop an engine bracket for artemis though.

I would very much not recommend UAC20s, especially clan ones, if you're looking for a good mech. They're fun most of the time, but if you don't have an assload of weapons to back up your UAC20 when it jams (and it will jam, on average just a bit under one in every five clicks) then you're totally hosed, enjoy your eight second jam with an opponent in brawling range in your mech that will be slower than the enemy mech because you're in an assault. Oh, and the other guy knows because your weapon shows as red on the HUD to him when you're jammed.

Theyre ok in pairs. Like on a King Crab with backup srms.

Shame ita still a KC though :/

The splatdog is a classic and still one of my favourite mechs to just take out for a spin and blast some people to pieces.

Why the gently caress are those things so thin. The CT is juat bullshit.

I really think btech could do with tearing up the current system and starting again.
Only reason I dont boat everything is different hard points and mixed bracket weapons. See: that missile cyclops

Turns out you should put lbx 10s on your maulers all. These are better than an equivalent no. UAC5s!

Second two are Bad Build Alert, as the 4P is pretty dogshit these days but I still have a soft spot for it, and the 4G is quirked for AC10s and even if you do 20s you shouldn't do UACs but I like to gamble and if you do get in range you're very damage-ful.

Bewilderingly you don't even have all 6 mls in the 4Ps shoulder!

So apparently since they nerfed my beloved ATM's rather than buffed them, I guess I will have to work on ballistic boating. are 4 AC5's better than 6 ac2s? Been a while since I dove into the full ballistic meta mechanics.

4 x UAC 5 on a Mauler 1P can be excellent, especially if you get some mouse macros going

You don't need a macro for uAC/5's. Just bind all weapons to both mouse buttons and mash. Mashing also works for uAC/2s in the DRG-5N but if you are planning on bringing out the DWF-UV then I would say that a macro would improve your damage output, but really macros are for losers :smug:

My feeble accuracy evaporates when I have to both mash buttons and aim
