Overview:
    "You know, Scientifically a Bumble Bee shouldn't be able to t fly."
    
    "Carl.  If you don't shut up I'm swear to God I'm going to kill you before you get a chance
    to die in this Death Trap."

Capabilities:
    In a case of "just because you can doesn't mean you should" there is the Bumblebee.  It is a
    flying heavy gauss rifle.  It is also one of the slowest and under armored VTOLs imaginable.
    Even the flying LRM carrier has more armor coverage  (though it is slower.)  But...  its
    also a flying Heavy Gauss Rifle.  The pucker factor involved knowing just how hard of a
    'sting' you could experience tends to keep enemy mechwarriors just a bit preoccupied
    watching their flanks and rear.

Deployment:
    For the units misfortunate enough to be assigned Bumblebees, cover is their friend.  There
    is no terrain they like so much as forested canyons or urban operations.  Sure piloting
    error could kill them,  but thats better then being shot at which will kill them.  As a
    consequence Bumblebees are considered to be sneakier then average with a good pilot not
    exposing themselves until they suddenly appear in their targets rear arc.
