New raven build?

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=33&l=...0fd22fe4c8

I'm just not a huge fan of SRM 6s.  They are hard to hit at range and kinda slow.  The only success I have with them is with my Huginn assassin build.

SRM 6s on a Huginn? You know Huginn gets the fire rate boost to SRM 4s, right?

Yea I goofed I have the SRM 4s on my Huginn.  I have SRM 6s on my Stalker 5M and it has literally done 0 work every time I pilot it.  I think my top damage in it is 180.  I'm just not a fan of missiles in general.

Stalker is slow as balls and you have to aim SRMs well

On the trial champion raven I've done a lot of alpha-peaking and the missile do fairly well. So much better than the old MW games where they fired one missile at a time in a stream.

The only complaint that I'd have is that they spread damage over an area, but they also nicely shake the screen - making it harder to return fire.

[/quote]that's one of the best arguments for running crowds of SRM-2's on chainfire if you've got the tonnage/hardpoints for it.

My Stalker 4N build

Was playing this on viridian bog conquest and thought to myself this map isn't stellar for snipin'. Ended up surviving and doing 855 dmg with a match score of 120. This thing is ridiculous. Trade with anyone any time unless you're a king crab

Ok, trying to build something so I get more points and cbills faster. Been using the TDR9S based on the CW reccs. unfortunately it plays poorly in solo/group. Seems ER PPCs are very disadvantaged since you're almost never at that range and the projectiles move super slow. I can see how it'd be more useful in CW since you have more choke points.

Based on this original build: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=155&l...4a494359ad

These are the changes to make it more brawl friendly: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=155&l...a12351e579

Disadvantages I'm noting are that it moves one heat sink into the arms. I get armed a lot so my cooling would go with it. I'm toying with the idea of stripping some armor from the legs and puting it in the arms instead. I never seem to get legged. People usually try to core me or kill the torsos. That way I could have better shield arms.  Thoughts?

Not that bad considering the range and cycle of all those ac/2s.

You should be able to find sniping opportunities in queue. A normal ppc starts dropping in dmg after 540m which isn't super far. Also ERPPC's don't have a minimum range and that's huge in brawling. Just stay at the deep back of the deathball

You could probably rock somebody's world at range with that.

I do, some of the time. It just seems to net poor personal gains. And I have a hard time brawling due to how hot everything runs, so I get smoked. Basically I can't toe to toe out DPS most other mechs. Especially when they get up in my grill. I have had a few spectacular runs of like 400+ dmg. Usually when I have more ideal conditions.

*edit*

Keep in mind my goal right now is to maximize my cbill collection so I can actually build a decent drop deck.

The effective range on all those weapons is 270m

This sacrifices some of the firepower on your build Toast, but it should have a bit of a faster refill time

[at0m]

I've seen that build in action and it's nasty.

Also, the AC/2 DWF is even more gross when you factor in that people use external programs to rig fire groups to machine gun them.

You don't need to anymore, they just took off ghost heat for 3 large IS lasers of any kind.
