================================================================================================
Overview:
    My personal take on what the Clan IICs should have been.  What I am call the VIIC.  Core
    concept is to avoid using the XL engine; weight, armor, and structure may use special
    materials.

Capabilities:
    A straight forward upgrade of the -1.  Swapped the AC for LBX, swapped two ML for ER, and
    swapped 2 ML for MPL.  Endosteel allowed an extra ton of AC ammo (didn't want to be stuck
    with cluster only), added armor, and a pair of Flamers.

Good upgrade. And adding the flamers back onto the chassis is nice to see. My first impression is that the auto-cannons would probably be replaced with ER large lasers for a clan upgrade. Keeps most of the range, but more effective against the mech based forces that clans tend towards. (Vehicles too. Don't need a motive kill if the target is already dead.)

You are probably correct. But the anti-air capability is a perk, even in the Clans.
