This mech has excellent speed and an impressive electronics package and good heat control. But the weapon throw weight is somewhat light and the armour is thin and the uncased ammo increases the vulnerability and the ECM only partialy offsets that.You would have been better off droping the missile system instead of the laser and adding more armour.



I don't want to argue with you, I left the SRMs there just because I like them. The design is death-trap if you want to take part in heavy combat.

Perhaps that's what the designers wanted? People will fight if they think the enemy looks weak, but lacking CASE gives you some reason to avoid battle.

You have to realize there seems to be a large segment of the community that seems to think that this is and should be common practice to use every light mech as a assult hunter. Youll find that unless every light mech mounts several weapon systems it is seen as undergunned and there for no good.

(admittedly its a practice I dont like.I prefer lights for scouting and raiding)

This one was designed as scout (3K) and spotter (3K1), well armed, but still just scout. It's speed should be best defense and running to base to report the gathered intelligence should be the best tactic
