Re: Five Favourite 'Mechs from Technical Readout 3025

Well, we score the Awesome and the Panther together. The Locust: "wee hee
hee, I'm in a Locust, shoot at me!", although we always insisted on using
variants more useful than the machine guns. The Archer; does one job, but
does it very well. Possibly the UrbanMech, which is a bit of an oddball to
put it mildly, but does very well in its environment.

Beyond "not in TR 3025", I don't know...

It is hard to argue with the idea that for 5 more tons you can get a
Panther, but in close quarters the lack of a minimum range on the AC/10
can be a help... although the Panther's SRM is nearly as dangerous.
