LRM 100 Direwhale with 22 (!) tons of ammo 😍 looking forward to see what u come up for all the other Pilots, man no wonder Smoke Jaguars have a hard on for warcrimes with mechs armed like that vote for next Pilot: Ezra
I have to say i totally didn´t do builds catered to the pilots abilities and just laser and ppc boated my way through the campaign which worked like a charme with the balancing this game has right now. equip half of your mechs with ppcs, the other with medium/heavy lasers and focus fire on one target after another while keeping as much distance as possible will win any mission rather easily and you never have to worry about ammo. as soon has you have the nova this is a blast. however for my second playthrough i´ll definitely try some more special builds which should make it more interesting and need a more varied playstyle.
Really has to be said that adding ammo is important. Ammo based weapons shoot very fast with upgrades and skills, and you need that to fend off the IS hordes. Though for the Dire Poof I use the Widowmaker parts to mix LPLs in instead, her AI seems to do fine with that as multirole. Final missions are all slugfests anyway.
Great. I do run heavy affiliation and mad dog for Niamo to get that 1.3x multiplier. Good next pilot is 2 of them, Mia and Samantha. There are more ballistic based but is Mia really much better or are they pretty much the same.

Go with mad dog specialization, with heavy mech spec Then use the mad dog Omni pod with the 6 SRMs 50% missile spread with just standard SRMS on the mad dog and Naomi is absolutely disgusting
I got her fully tonned up across the board and it includes support weaponry. Five medium pulse lasers plus the 100 tubes of missile goodness. Tagged you a few days ago in a post for it too.
is it good ttb? i want pvp, but if the story telling is good, id still love it. My opinion is that the battletech universe is bland af, from the stand point of what they do bring to the public versus what they could. For example, reginald vanjaster is the perfect john wick type protagonist for a story from the pivot point of clan, inner sphere, and word of blake.
Nice idea for a series, looking forward to seeing what builds you come up with for the other pilots.

I turn Naomi into an SRM spammer, while Yuichi becomes my Laser/LRM sniper
There's also a way to make the hero executioner a lrm boat as well, but doesn't allow for a whole lot of amo or armor

Do you know if the evasion skill works by moving diagonally?

Great list. Just yesterday, I switched from TBR to WHK 😅
can you make a list for Mia? or good(ok) ballistic mech in general.

Do ammo boxes refresh the ammo for the entire lance or just the player?
Entire lance
@@TTBprime Thank you, I appreciate the reply. I am curious, how did you figure that out? Is is documented somewhere, observations during testing?
@@basilforthyou can change the mech and check ammo level before and after picking the ammo up if you like to verify.
Really? I can change mech during the mission? I thought I could only change when I got killed. How do I do that?

Its a shame she doesn't get to pick affinities for some of these mechs :(
I think it's an oversight she can't get assault affinity. Feels very weird.
@@TTBprime Also, great idea for a set of videos. I have literally googled this term before :D. May the SEO gods bless you
