JagerMech JM6-S is a Heavy-class 'Mech in Battletech.
Description
The JagerMech S is a Heavy 'Mech specializing in long range direct fire. While lightly armored for its tonnage, it can direct a withering array of AC/2s and AC/5s at distant targets. Closer enemies are handled by a pair of Medium Lasers.
Loadouts
An excellent long range mech, the JM6-S works best when upgraded to a pure AC/5 loadout, though its flexibility means you can run pretty much any loadout and still come out on top.
The default configuration is infamous for being made of glass, and the game's maps makes it extremely difficult to use the full range of its weapons. Typically, the most desired capability in a rear line support mech is knockdown capability, an LRMs are more effective than autocannons in that regard, even without factoring in indirect fire capabilities.
With the 1.1 update, LL's become more viable, and you can swap out both AC/2's for a pair of LL's and some heat sinks, giving you a primary armament of 2x AC/5 and 2x LL. While it has more heat issues than the 3x AC/5 version mentioned above, it also has a higher alpha.
The JagerMech S model is highly specialized at long-range Autocannon fire support. It doesn't have much in the way of protection or closer-range weapons, though, so keep it distant and out of harm's way. Especially since its ballistic hardpoints are located on the arms and thus very vulnerable to being shaved off.
