Good armor, good speed, and one helluva knockout punch seem to be this 'mechs best features. Unfortunately, the 'mech only gets one big punch, unless it relegates iteslf to numerous smaller jabs. Any army deploying any significant number of these machines would quickly go broke on resupply expenses, and the ammo train would be a mile long. The Rocket Launcher is not a bad secondary weapon, but as a primary weapon, it's sub-par.


Yes, it is sub-par. This was my cheap shot at all the RL 'Mechs in 3067, many of which sacrifice normal (effective) armaments for more RLs than necessary. RLs do have their place, but that place is not in the primary weapon role. Packing on six RL 20s (the RL Catapult, I think) is just excessive, especially when you could have higher performance from normal weapons and be cheaper. This one is more of a joke 'Mech than anything.
