I already kinda half expected a PPC. Afterall what other weapon does 10 damage at good range ?
Backups are nice and the flamer is totally totally fun in a city, if you don't razing it to the ground.
Pity its extremely expensive (in House liao terms) for an urbie, but its firepower and unlimited ammo stands it in good stead.

Minimal range may hurt it in the city, but it has enough backup weapons to ignore it.

I do see 1 BIG problem with this mech. It will over heat way too much. I would drop some of the med lasers for more heat. Even the 2 jumping points of an Urbie can contribute to overheating when you get a PPC involved in the fight.
Other than that I like the mech. It does get a bit expensive, especially if an unlucky crit roll causes the loss of the PPC. They can be expensive to replace in the field.

Expensiveness is unavoidable. I intend this to be a rare or unique modification, not a production model.
Although, I'm afraid that I don't see how it overheats badly. Unless you alpha-strike, of course. But it has sufficient heat sinks to take only movement heat when firing lasers, and less than that with the PPC. The heat sinks are sufficient to keep shooting for a while, then take a turn to cool down.

I guess I like to fire more than the ppc when moving. If you fire any of the lasers and the ppc when moving it will overheat. This would be good for shock value. Imagine the reaction when a 30 ton mech fires all that at point blank range. Just lure that poor Wasp into a dark alley.....

Nice Urbie with lots of firepower at different ranges. (of course it´s not built to use both sets of weapons at once).
The PPC gives it the ability to hit at a greater range with the same firepower as the original.
There are enough heatsink to do this at maximum speed and you have no problems with ammo.
If the enemy closes you can switch to the ML´s. That means double the firepower of the -R60. It can fire 3 while jumping with no problems or all 4 with minor heat because of movement. (If it has to much heat: a Urbie has to be in a position to be able to jump into cover anyway)
And it is better armored!
I think it would be very dangerous!

You can ask Seraph, I tend to run around 4-8 heat constantly. The way I see it, if you have the weapons and a good to hit # go ahead and fire. Why carry weapons if you ain't gonna use 'em?

I'd drop the PPC for a large laser and 2 heatsinks.

In our last \"Freitags-Gemetzel\" (Friday-Massacre) i´ve tried an easy-to-do field refit:
Strip out the AC/10 + ammo and put in 2 LrgLasers and 3 HS.
This gives the Urbie the legendary 2-1-punch like the Warhammer -6R or the Marauder -3R.
You can fire both LrgLasers while running (getting 4 heat) and the next round fire 1 LrgLaser while runnung and get your heat back to zero.
Even with jumping around you can´t get the heat up quickly this way.
A lance of this played havoc with my players, putting down 2 mediums and a heavy.  (Ok, i´ve lost all of my Urbies in that fight  )
