There are obviously a number of people that are Urbanmech fanatics, but I could never really understand why. While I'm sure the reasons are a bit out there, humor me with said reasons.

Well its more complex then that. The Urbie is cheap BV wise, so in a BV fight, in a city or any built up terrain you can get a lot of big guns for very little price. This allows you to perform flanking manuvers and other nice little stunts to make the fight pay off big time in your favor. it never hurts. Left over BV can go to infantry, and in a city Infantry will rule the world. Its the ideal built up defense mech.

Fantastic design, overall.
It has a theme (Urban defense, on the cheap) and does it marvelously. Amazingly economic, and super-effective in a city.
No better bang for the buck on two legs.

The Urbie is oft overlooked by lesser players...and that fact alone makes it a VERY dangerous mech.

I personally find the urbie to be a walking piece of junk, but a lot of players like it because it has "personality."

Cause it jumps and has an AC10 which will blow a nice hole through most other light mechs with one shot!
