I refer you to my previous comment, "Machine guns are one of the silliest weapons in the game and shouldn't do any damage to 'Mechs at all."
They aren't silly but they are not .30 in nor even .50 infantry MGs, those of course do nothing against armor. They are small rotary 20mm cannons like those in fighter jets. It provides some anti personnel capability while doing a little damage to armor.
In fact if Aerotech were to be redesigned to have realistic airplanes, Aerospace fighters instead of flying tanks should be much lighter and similar to today fighter jets, being light skinned and easily damaged by small 20 to 30mm guns , both the Gatling type and the autocannon type like the Oerlikon of WWII and of course splinters from HE flak guns
Mech "machineguns" or Gatling guns and light to medium autocannons would make a lot of sense as the primary onboard armament of aircraft, and as antiaircraft guns to deal with Aerospace fighters and helicopters. _________________ Memento audare semper
