A fine heavy mech with a nice gauss rifle / LB-X combination.
It can rip big holes with the gauss and when it comes into medium ranges the LB-X and large laser will add to this. If the enemies armor is breached switch to cluster ammo and give him a sandblast.
If something dares to close the pulse lasers will kick in.
This mech really has no heat "problems" as it can alphastrike and run for four turns without getting any negative effects.
The XL can be dangerous to itself but the full armor will balance this off a bit. |

One of my favorite designs, this is about as good as IS heavies get. It manages heat very well: a run and an alpha strike overheats it by a mere 1 point. It actually fights better at close range- as long as the Gauss Rifle doesn't get below minimum range. Its heavy armor and ECM compensate for the XL engine, and its speed is standard for an IS 75-tonner. Ammo may be a concern in a prolonged engagement.
The only change I would make would be to downgrade the med. pulse laser to ER Mediums and upgrade the large laser to an ER PPC, making it a more potent ranged fighter. |

Upgrading the large laser to an ER variant will give the mech a much better ranged punch. The machine doesn't have too much heat anyway so no big deal.
Swapping the medium pulses for regular mediums though will make it a dangerous infighter as well.
The armor is maxed out which is good as it help negates that fragile XL engine. |

The armor and firepower are nice, but the XL engine gives it a corresponding minus. Still, it's a very dangerous 'mech if it can avoid taking much damage. That's a pretty big if though, considering this thing is likely to attract a lot of firepower. |

A fair design, here. The LBX and gauss rifle work well together, and bot have nice ammounds of ammo to feed them.
The lasers will fill in when the ammo is gone. But dont count on them to win out against everything.
Good armor on this mech, though, so it can take alot of abuse and keep swinging. And the armor is augmented by the ECM package, affording it some protection from smart weapons.
One area of concern is heat. A full alpha strike from this thing is going to crank out heat by the bucketfull, and Im not sure that 10 DHS are going to be albe to keep up with them. |
