    here is the problem I find with mechs that have more than 2 ballistic hardpoints in the same part of the mech.
    1, they can be used with 2 small and one large weapon, and be a brawler build
    2, they can have similar weapons in there, But it's weight is so great it makes the mech a sniper.

    The downside to number 2, with this build, is that when you are dis-armed, you have no more weapons. The downside to number 1 is you don't have quite enough punch to get thru enemy armor without using an alpha strike.

    I think, with these opinions in mind, that this mech is a 3-5. If it had AMS, I would be happier.

    Makes for a great ranged weapon. Click the AC2 twice, lead, hit the AC5. It does suck that they're all in one arm on this Chassis. I tried a very similar build and ended up dropping the AC2.

    If it fits your playstyle, though, it's deadly!

    I'll give her a four.

    I try with one large pulse and one medium but i think your build is better with 2 Large laser.
