looks like an inflated hunchback IIC.

2 erml's, 2 uac/20's.

the er sl is a throw back to the hunchback. an the twin ams's, while not overly helpfull will keep missile mechs at bay for at least 2 turns.

but i can see the AMS's being changed for 3 jump jets. drop 0.5 armor, n the ersl, n you get 4. plop them in the legs, n you've got a hunchback IIC with ammo.

Although this one has some real firepower. It is shag with armor. And is slow for it's weight class. Yours (Although in a diffrent weight class)Would stay in a fight longer. and in the end. that is all that really matters. can you stand longer than the enemy.

Yeah, I am still working out the bugs with it. PRE is not the easiest code to work with.

But to answer your question. The H-back IIC pretty much blows. But what really sucks. is falling under it's sights when it cuts loose. That is a big time, OUCH

It's not bad if you have run 15 to get there, or jumped 10, or you are in a 100 ton, fully armored Mech....Otherwise I agree, receiving gifts from dual Ac20s Suck.

I lost a 75ton CAV mech conversion called the Regent, to this bloody monster...ALL FOUR SHOTS from the UACs hit...Three of them caved in the entire right torso...blew up one gauss and set off the LRM ammo the mech was carrying...and tore the XL right out of the mech...
