The Quest For....

Postby QuietStorm » Thu Feb 08, 2007 1:18 pm

The Quest for the Best Rammer Set-Up

Bottom line is that I'm not thrilled with the rammer set-ups that I have. We don't have access to any more weapon restocks, so BB and Dols are out of the question. Gonna have to go with something along the lines of a Nuke Nuck and Stats set-up.

So...with that being said, what do you guys believe constitutes the best Rammer Set-Up for a Mech under the One Million Mark on XP? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Yeah what he said.

That's the set-up I used to use as well.

Used to? Have you ditched the Rammers altogether?

Or did you just get above the One Mil Mark?

Not to mention it's hardly an ultimate rammer if it has only ne stat in ram... the same in another tactic.

My best rammer is around the 1.5mil mark, and is hit n miss, but boy when he does hit, he REALLY hits.

No, that's from the XP Calculator in the Help section.
