================================================================================================
Variants:
    The Pike Support Vehicle (Clan XL) is a Clan Heel’s Horses model that refits the turret
    mounted weapons with heavier hitting guns. Clan scientists attempted to mount 3 type 10
    autocannons in the turret, but enough ammunition could not be carried to make the design
    worthwhile unless other compromises were introduced. They therefore instead replaced one
    autocannon with a large pulse laser. Although some pushed for the remaining two autocannons
    to be rapid-fire ultra or rotary autocannons, it was instead decided to mount dual purpose
    guns. 6 tons of munitions for these two weapons ensures plentiful ammunition for each,
    easily allowing cluster rounds to be carried as well as standard ammunition.

The problem with HAGs is they don’t have a big lump sum hit choice like LB’s. It’s almost aleays only part of the total, summed into five point groupings and whatever’s left over.

It can be good, depending on grouping, but if it’s spread out…
