<t>Actually, most of the time the only weapons that can be fired are the AC7s. When the enemy reaches point blank range, switch to either flame throwers or power axes, depending on which will be most effective and how much ammo for the FTs you have. Works great! Heat is not a serious problem ...

<t>How about a weapon that does no damage (or minimal damage) but slows down the enemy titan? Call it tanglefoot or something. Make it a large weapon in slots and weight, and let it have a greater effect on smaller titans. This would be a good anti-wolfpack weapon for assault titans, but would have ...

<t>Speaking of titans with a mix of weapons, here's one:<br/>
<br/>
Titan Name: Thrasher (Light Close Combat Titan)<br/>
Chassis: Morola L1<br/>
----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
Weight: 69.9t (70t maximum) Height : 9 [meter]<br/>
Bmt : 22 (54 kph) Reduce ...

<t>How about a sandblaster? On a hit, does one damage to every body part (except maybe CBT or CT depending on which way the target is facing). Or maybe two to most parts, but one to head and LowT.<br/>
<br/>
It should probably be a cannon, since there are such a variety of interesting energy weapons ...

<t>You print out your titan by going to the pinboard. The file will appear in the data directory under the appropriate weight class, and will be named "TitanName.tos". It's a text file.<br/>
<br/>
This stuff really should be in a FAQ or something, it's been asked so many times.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway ...

<t>Well, I tested it out, and the variant that switches 5 tons of scanner for 5 tons of jumpjet is at least equally effective, although it uses a different style of play. Here it is:<br/>
<br/>
Titan Name: Needler J (Light Defense Titan)<br/>
Chassis: Morola L4<br ...

Good point.

On the other hand, getting that extra 4-8% is even more critical on a missile titan because the skill check affects not just how often you hit, but how much damage you do when you hit. I'll have to test it out I guess.

<t>Re the Knight:<br/>
<br/>
I have a very similar titan called the Shrike:<br/>
<br/>
Titan Name: Shrike (Light Close Combat Titan)<br/>
Chassis: Morola L3<br/>
----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
Weight: 70.0t (70t maximum) Height : 10 [meter]<br/>
Bmt : 20 ...

<t>*On occasion I will mix armor types but I find that in combat these differences are usually irrelevant.<br/>
Whatever allows the thickest skin is my motto.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I sometimes find that mixing different armor types can give you a thicker skin. The classic example is that the head can ...
