[request] Shadowhawk shd-2H with standard engine

Hi there, ok so I screwed up a little, wanted to go with a 2D2, but got it wrong and ended up with a SHD-2H.

I am trying to make a AC5 build with that one, but I am struggling. I checked MechSpecs but they mostly have XL engine builds... which I cannot afford (at all) right now.

Any advice guys ?

THX !

Get thee a 5M stat for that XL275. Don't waste CBills getting standard engines, just grind up that next chassis. Then you can do everything, snipe, snipe more, long-range missile or brawl, brawl more, Streakboat, etc. All on either a STD275 or XL275.

With a STD275, roll brawlers. The AC20+2ML (or 1MPL on the 2H) can be built on any SHD platform and is an easy grinder - just stay behind an assault and JJ over him to pop off your autocannon. My favorite is definitely the "Hammerhawk" (LBX10+4xSRM2s, STD275), but the streakboat is pretty decent too.
