Glad you like it. It's pretty rare but as you realise, once one gets used to the arse mounts, it's pretty damn strong. The Trebuchet-5J with a similar build is also unique and strong but with arse mounts if you like mechs with shitty mounts 🤭 - BrioS
Blazers and the new quirks have breathed new life into the Phoenix Hawk 3S, which has me excited because that was my first mech. -20% laser heat is crazy
Yup, Blazers really helpful for the IS side. The "old" quirks still persist and it'll take a while for Cauldron to evaluate the hundreds of mechs out there. - BrioS
That would be true. Vindicator is pretty bad with low arms that are really far apart hence all the amazing quirks. Maybe I should take a look at Vindicators and see if Binaries do them good - BrioS
That has great mounts and mobility. The Crab has better quirks but arse mounts and can't jump. I also haven't touched Crabs in a while so decided to give this a go. - BrioS
Oh! Was it the Alpine one? Don't recognise your in game name.. Both matches were pretty close, especially the first match on FWC. The best matches are the close ones. - BrioS
Oh, that's another good medium to do Binary on since it also has great quirks. Just that I haven't touched Crabs in a while so decided to give it a go - BrioS
I feel like the team that spawns at the bottom (eg: 8,9,10) has an advantage on Alpine Peaks. The team at the top doesn't have many good positions to hold so always end up over-exposing or overcrowding (And the other team has the height advantage). It's especially bad with domination, as you can't get into the circle without exposing to every single enemy.
I wish they'd leave the binaries as they are. A lot of clan mechs can still field a laser alpha above 54 damage at 400-650 meters, while being faster. The 3-fer ability has been a boon to several seldom-played mechs.
Binaries are VERY strong now and with the "old" quirks still persistent, a bit too punishing especially with the broken GH limit. They will be minimally tweaked and also have the GH put at its correct value. After testing them quite a bit, 2 is just nice. 3 would be great but that would make some IS mechs just ridiculously OP. - BrioS
Yes the cave man runners are a big problem in mwo 😢 you explained it very good 👍 but it's the same with the lrm beginners most of them using them so wrong but 😂
Love this mech, it's easily my highest performing one and it's so rare to see. The low slung arms aren't an issue after you get used to 'em.

If you don't mind going a bit slower and a bit less heat management this build also works with a light engine.
Oh for sure. XL crabs are always a challenge to play but I do like the speed - BrioS
Crab a la BrioS. Good build.
Thanks! It's surprisingly good for a medium and really benefits from the introduction of the binary lasers - BrioS
The Vindicator SIB is really funny with the Binaries. Its duration makes the lasers duration so fast
That would be true. Vindicator is pretty bad with low arms that are really far apart hence all the amazing quirks.

@@ClanBRxV That one specifically it works well. You can kind of poptart with them with such a low duration too.
i have to try it now :D
I do 2 Binary 2-4 ERML on my Uziel. Crazy high mounts and good range.
That has great mounts and mobility. The Crab has better quirks but arse mounts and can't jump. I also haven't touched Crabs in a while so decided to give this a go. - BrioS
Nice.
I didn't realize you were the same vintage. I can't play games without my glasses these days😂
Well... Aging happens. 🤭 - BrioS
Yeah, BrioS looks good for his vintage. But he's using genetic hacks, cheater!
Sweet, I was in that match!
Oh! Was it the Alpine one? Don't recognise your in game name..
Both matches were pretty close, especially the first match on FWC. The best matches are the close ones. - BrioS
I prefer using this setup on the Trebuchet 5J (but with normal ML).
Stronger quirks, faster, and it has JJ.

@@ClanBRxV Nothing wrong with wanting a good Crab Rave every once in a while...

Treb feels goods too, imo. Side peaker though
Yeah, the -5J is known for its fantastic laser quirks but it was so long since I touched my Crabs thought I'd give this -20 a try - BrioS
@@ClanBRxV Yeah, I had been eyeballin them myself. Wanna bring em out sometime.

was that second match the ts warhorn?
Both matches was the TSP2023 Warhorn. It has different sounds and even one for when you die. Just the best warhorn ever! 🤣 - BrioS
@@ClanBRxV Oh I wondered where that came from. I better buy a TSP on payday
@@ctakitimuTSP2023 is the best warhorn! Has audio for kills and also when you die. Shittalking warhorn is best warhorn! - BrioS
@@ClanBRxV Yeah they are! I love the "Sit Down!" one, or the Halloween one that just does the evil laugh, but now I'll have to obtain this one
Yes the cave man runners are a big problem in mwo 😢 you explained it very good 👍 but it's the same with the lrm beginners most of them using them so wrong but 😂
i built this with small lasers and it ran hoter than this verison. wonder what i did wrong.
Maybe that was pre-quirk-pass on this Crab? It got quite a few nice quirks some time back. - BrioS
