Everybody must at least once try the loadout that racks your heat up to near-detonation but dumps enough PPC into an enemy to nuke them in one shot.
Mass jump jets and machine guns was my go to... fly into close range really fast and gun then brrrrrrr. You could win most battles using the smallest mech this way.
I remember tweaking the config and I think blowing my arm off by firing
Is that an Awesome? I think they have a tabletop loadout with 3 PPCs
Mad Cat / Timber Wolf
i think he was talking about the Dashi, which was stock—-(my memory is wrong, MY Dashi had 6 er ppcs)—-.
but the mech that LOVED to over commit to laser violence was the Nova, my beloved
There wasn't an Awesome in the game, it's set during the Wolf/Falcon refusal war so it's all Clan mechs. Nothing's stopping you from from loading like five of them on a Dire Wolf though.
