I just hate FF Armor. It needs a massive boost in armor per ton to be worth it. Why not have used ES? It would allow you to up the armor to 7.5 tons.

Yep, that's true, but it would also require to rebuild Jenner Chassis entirely (purely fluff reason). Aside from that I've considered the ES as I was trying to fit 4 LPPCs in it, but that was too much equipment for the chassis unless I gave up upon the missiles. It could have worked if I went for 40 tons or I could have went for heavy FF as well if I made it for later era, but here it is. It's a compromise machine and I can see that it could achieve much better results by specialising and optimisation, but I think it's not necessary to achieve what I wanted at the moment.
EDIT: Yes, it could be ES+LFE, but it didn't feel nearly as much as a mix of old and new... and yes, I still think 4 LPPC variant will be made when I have some time at the computer

I'd settle for 2 LPPCs and a SRM at the high Jenner speed.

Actually you can be far bolder than just two LPPCs IMO, but I wanted to keep Jenner's nasty bite and either go for better reach without bothering with covering of minimal range or to have a close range bite and a little extra, which is the way I chose in the end. Actually let me introduce a medium range annoyance unit:
