My first design, looking for help improving it.

[william19k]

This is my first try at making a solid mid to close range cannon and hand to hand titan. I use it as my squad leader's titan and have had pretty good success so far but i know alot of you veterans know how to tweak the armor and such to get the best out of it. Go crazy with this one for me and let me know what you think.

Well, It lacks a bit of long-range punch for my taste (I'm not too fond of AC7, but that's merely a personal thing that shouldn't put you off using it).

What, however, strikes me is the placement of an ammo-based weapon in the same location as the engine. That's a big No-No. You really don't want to be taken out cold by an ammo explosion.

Besides that, the heat reduction is a bit low. I'm sure Sleeping Dragon will drop by any minute now, though, and fix it with a generous application of Millennia armour.

Vicious in close combat, I'd guess, but it seems rather easy to pick apart at a distance.

LOL! Looks like someone has found out my secret: Millennia fixs everything

@william19k The download don't extract. But none-the-less Silvermane make good points (I personally forget about the ammo/engine thing more then I should) Although I don't think you have room for that MG anywhere else, maybe move somethings around? How is your heat when fighting with this titan? I looks like it might run hot. eitherway I'd play around with Millennia on the legs, maybe lose the CT MG for the wieght if you can't make it fit somewhere else, or drop a level in heat regs to get the extra wieght. Even dropping a level in heat regs and applying copious amount of Millenia to the legs will improve your overall heat dissapation to -1.73C/sec, a slight improvement.
