 ===Variant F===
-A unique variant, the Atlas F heavily relies on the mechwarrior's ability to use the two heavy hitting [[Thunderbolt|Tbolt15]] missile launchers as effectively as possible. Their lock on range is 750m but will still do damage to targets out to 1940m away. They do have a rather slow turning radius, thus are quite ineffective against agile targets. Instead, mechwarriors should unleash the pinpoint accuracy of the long range three [[LPL|Large Pulse Lasers]] against said targets. Furthermore, mastering the ability to [[dumbfire]] the Thunderbolt missiles at brawling range is somewhat difficult but oh so rewarding when accomplished successfully. Careful maneuvering is required for the F to get into position, trying to get a down the throat or up the kilt shot that'll maximize the chance of the Tbolts hitting. This is far easier against slower targets while quick mechs can dodge out of the way relatively easily unless at close range. 2 [[free tons]] of ammo are insufficient for longer combat engagements. The Atlas F lacks any defensive electronics equipment, so mechwarriors should not be caught out in the open against enemy missile boats or dedicated long range snipers.

 ===Prime===
-The Atlas Prime is built towards command and control of large areas of the [[Maps|Map]] with its heavy, long-range firepower. 2 [[ERPPC]]s on the arms and twin [[LRM5]]s give it firepower at long range, while a [[Gauss|Gauss Rifle]] provides a powerful punch at any range. Duel [[Standard_AutoCannons#Light_AC2_and_AC5|LAC2s]] complement the 900m range of the other weapons. A single [[LAMS]] protects the Atlas Prime from enemy missile fire while it supports its allies from afar. Single [[B-Pod]] helps fending off enemy [[Battle Armor]], 4 [[DHS]] are somewhat enough to keep heat in check, so long as the pilot doesn't lean too heavily on the PPCs.

 [[File:Atlas.jpg|thumb|175px|Original "Fishbowl" head Atlas from pre-0.3.0]]
 Before version 0.3.0, the Atlas was referred to as a ''swimming pool'' or ''glass bulb''. The top part of the head was made entirely of glass, appearing for units or [[BA]] above it as an empty space, often leading to surprise when a direct hit on the pilot didn't result in a kill. In the 0.3.0 release, a metal helmet-like cover was added to the head, changing the appearance of the unit, though still not giving it the instantly recognizable skull-head/death's mask due to technical limitations. A head modeled entirely as a skull would make it nearly impossible to pilot the unit, due to obscured vision.
+*0.17.4 - Head hitbox reduced to just the right eye.

 The Atlas Variant E is outfitted with the most sophisticated electronics available. [[BHP]] gives it enormous sensor range, an advantage it can share with its comrades due to the [[C3|C3 Master]], while [[GECM]] keeps it hidden from detection. Dual [[LAMS]] offer itself and nearby allies good protection from missile barrages, and the [[NARC|iNARC]] enables it to select targets for itself and friendly missile artillery. The armament of 2 [[ERLL]]s and 2 [[LRM15]]s give it long range firepower similar to most long-range IS heavy Mechs and an [[ERML]] adds a little extra firepower at medium ranges. Overall, it cannot expect to defeat [[Clan]] heavy and assault Mechs on its own. As the anchor that the team together, single combat is not amongst its abilities. It is supposed to be the leader of a pack, giving them cover, giving them information, giving them protection, and giving them their targets to slay. The Atlas E's [[Free tons|3 tons of extra ammo]] give it modest staying power, but it is the least [[Armor|Armored]] Atlas and carries only 4 [[DHS]]. Pilots should watch their [[heat]] carefully and [[chain fire]] their weapons if needed.
-Note: This asset has both C3 and GECM, meaning there is no benefit to using [[Radar#Passive Radar|passive radar]] except when covered by allied [[AECM]].

 ===Variant A - ''"Mr. Bubbles"''===
 The ''Atlas A'', dubbed '''''"Mr. Bubbles"''''', is armed with 3 [[RAC5]], giving it incredible damage-per-second against enemy targets.
-This style of combat is very suited for the Atlas, as its heavy armor allows it to endure the return fire such an exposed method of combat brings with it, a luxury many other DPS based Mechs and tanks do not have. The twin [[DSRM4]]s require a different lead then the [[RAC]]s, and thus are best used while your [[RAC|rotary cannons]] cool down or reload to screen yourself behind their exhaust and to shake the enemy, reducing the effectiveness of its counterstrike. They can also finish off heavily damaged targets in a pinch given their strong damage output. The biggest downside to this variant is its short effective range of only around 250 - 300m, especially since almost every other asset is faster then the Atlas. The [[RAC]]s can be used further out, but the spread and damage falloff prevents them from dealing significant damage beyond 650, and the [[DSRM]]s alone are not enough to threaten anything bigger then a light Mech. Furthermore, this variant lacks [[LAMS]] to dissuade enemy missile fire, leaving the pilot vulnerable to screen shake from retaliatory fire, meaning that pilots should carefully approach their targets under the cover of [[GECM]] rather than march across the open field to fight. 8 tons of extra ammo are enough to keep all its weapons firing for a while, but caution must still be applied, because the Atlas is too slow to retreat should its ammo run out during combat.
