Why are you using improved jumpjets if your jump mp is less than your walking mp? That makes no sense.

Ok I have kept quiet, till now, about your designs, but this one is just rediculous. Here is a much better modification of MC2 for city fighting. It cannot possibly handle a full guns barrage. however, it does have the weapon for the job and can still manage a BMech fight too.

Well Hunters design while flawed is not as bad as what Vagabond countered with Hunter can SAFELY put up more fire power than Vagabond .Vagabond's on a full weapon strike would immediately shut down and explode as all the ammo torched off.I cannot understand why he has all the weapons he does when he only has enough heat sinks to cover a third of them.He would be wise to swap out a lot of the high heat systems for lower heat systems. If you do not have the heat sink capacity to fire your weapons then they are nothing but dead weight.

Well, since we're modifying other people's mechs here is my version. It's designed around the idea of urban warfare, but is more efficient than either design proposed so far. Its not 100% heat efficient, but I wanted to keep the SRM's there. I also gave it limited long range firepower without seriously degrading its short range performance.

Now Gangrenes design is pretty good while it does run warm the special ammo types avalable such as inferno and Mag pulse if you go level 3 make them usefull one minor problem this is more of a bug than an actual design flaw...Clan MGs only weigh .25 tons ypu might find it desirable to adjust your design for that. Besides that easily the best of the three.

                   Specials: ecm, prb



Now to cut off any attempts to whine about its weapons loadout and possible heat factors from
you alpha babies. i am going to be nice and post the why\\\'s of the design.

One feature that often plagues city fighters is ranged combat. i solve this by using lpls.

next is the proven concept of weapons layering. like the stalker this design is constructed to layer its weapons.

another difficulty of urban combat is over specilization. you need to be flexible on your loadout because you will get hit by every unit type at one point or another.

weapon combinations:
2 lpl + 2 mpl = 28
2 er ml + 2 mpl + 1 lpl = 28
2 er ml + 2 mpl + 1 hml = 25
1 hml + 2 mpl + 4 flamer = 27
4 srm 6 + 2 mpl = 24

mpls are good vs infantry.
srms are good vs everything.
flamers are good vs infantry [essecially when there inside buildings.]

this designs about having the right weapon at the right time to fight an urban battle.

it is not designed to handle all weapons at once and any pilot worth his rank could have figured out why the weapons load is the way it is.
