Arctic Cheetah: Clan Active Probe, ECM AND Targeting Computer I?

[taKe_it_perSonaL]

Hey there, i'm new to lights and tryin' to improve my Artic Cheetah build - the question is in the title.

At the moment i have all three built in.. does that even make sense?

You have some redundancy there since ECM has a toggle to counter enemy ECM and also disables your CAP from doing that if you have ECM. Targeting computers are mostly useless after their nerf aside from getting minor projectile speed boosts for extreme range PPC snipers or minor range boosts only useful on extreme range laser boats.

In general the weapons on your mech matter much much more than the electronics, CAP isn't going to kill your enemies.

Targeting computer offers no crit bonuses to machine guns, so I'd not bring one on a machine gun focused build. CAP mostly is just there to give you longer sensor range and to counter ECM, but if you are fighting at close ranges its sorta useless, especially when you have ECM yourself.

I'd take out the TC and CAP and add more ammo. I'd also drop the rear armor on all sections to 2 and raise the frontal armor. Lights don't really have enough armor to be splitting it up so much, pick a side you want to survive and focus that.

Surviving usually means you won ;)

[taKe_it_perSonaL]

no i meant a C-Bill-Bonus for Survival. Of course after winning the round ;)

Salvage bonus is iirc the bonus for you surviving. It's not worth angling for.

ah ok - thx mate :*
