Re: Am I the only one who likes LBX autocannon?

1st I love LB-X autocannons. The dual ammo layout is very cool if you are playing against combined arms. Slugs to punch through Mech armor, Scatter shot for vehicles and infantry.

2nd AC20 vs Med lasers. I am not citing a preference, but against a 75tonner a Ultra 20 (assuming a double hit) has a 10 in 36 chance of hitting the side torso and COMPLETELY destoying the location. Ending the fight in one shot. It also has a 6 in 36 chance of hitting the center torso and then its time to roll for crits. So basically a 16 in 36 chance of delivering a very crippling shot to the opposing 75 tonner. If you have some missles for secondarys then you have good chance of criting out the opposing mech. Of course with 10 mediums you have a pretty good chance of getting double 1's and the freebie critical.
Note: I do not know the armor layout of the opposing mech. It is possible to survive the side torso hit by limiting the amount of armor in the rear. Which has its own disadvantages.
