The idea was to try and do the best of both the BJ-2 and the BJ-3 with some other modifications.

The PPCs give the mech potent medium and long-range firepower without having to worry over ammo.

The XL engine allowed me to increase the mech's speed to 5/8/5, not only enabling it to keep pace with other mediums but also helping it make the most of its PPCs.

In the event that someone is able to close within minimum range, the mech has two SRM 2s. These units can be used to crit-seek tanks, or may be loaded with Inferno rounds in order to roast infantry and battle armor.

I did have to install Endo, meaning that this was a factory-level variation. I'm still trying to figure out where I can put the factory for this thing.

You may want to go with a medium in place of one of the SRM2s. But that is the only I can suggest besides say two small lasers.

Just so you know: as of TRO:3050U, there is an official variant that is labelled BJ-4....

It mounts 2 LAC5 and 2 ERML and a tarcomp. A light engine and LFF round off the design.
