In my own playing of mechwarrior 4 i have found
the best two ways to kill mechs is.
taget the legs. Targeting the legs is good for slowing down ligh andt fast
mechs. Just
take one leg out and then smoke him in the torso wech areas. i have pic showing
the
torso areas below.

I'm looking for new custom mech configs for MW4. Here's a couple of mine. The effects I usually am looking for are quick recycle time, decent damage, amount of shake.
Daishi
Full Load of Reactive Armor, except for arms (minimum .10t) because the I
don't have any weapons there.
4 Clan LBX AC 10
1 SRM6 Missile Rack
It's a cheesy boat I know, but I like it anyway<g>. The lbx has a recycle time of 4s and the srm 2s. The srms are not really effective for smaller targets but I don't have them their for smaller targets, I have em for that extra punch to get through heavy armor. 3 Alpha's to the ct of a ff mech with the above and that's all she wrote.

3 Clan Ultra AC 5
1 Clan LBX AC 20
1 Clan LRM 20
2 SRM6 Missile Racks
This load is a lot more adaptable than the 1st and it can deliver a lot of steady punishment, it just doesn't have the punch that the first one does. The LRMs are nice, not so much for the amount of damage they seem to do, but because of the constant shake they apply to your opponent. I'm experimenting with it to see if I can find a way to keep the shake constant, adding another lrm rack etc.
Mad Cat II
Full load of FF Armor
4 Light Clan Gauss Guns
They only do 12 damage per shot, but they have a 6 second recycle time. You can fire them single shot and only have about a 2 second delay before you can start at the beginning again. Great fire support mech. The Gauss Gun pretty much unbalances the game as far as other weapons go. Single shotting knocks your opponents mech all around, so that he has a real hard time aiming straight.
That's it for now.

Try to use a balance when configing a mech in the labe of
1# fast recycle time wep
2# heavy wep like heavy Clan Gauss Guns and Heavy lasers and missiles
For one. light and heavy lasers make a good balance when in a proper groups
