You like the damage of one heavy slug of a shot gun. Where I like the increased chance of hitting with pellets of bird shot.
Someone *boyfriend* complained that when I respond to message boards that I am not being nice. So, I am trying to be nicer, when he is paying attention . I like times like right now that he is not looking over my shoulder to making sure that I am being nice.
The UAC20 bites! Its heavy, wastes ammo, and is only good to scare light mech pilots. My 10 MLs would wipe the battle field with your UAC20 armed mech! If you want something that is worth anything go with a GR at least you have some decent range. Something that is a piece of junk is the clan Hunchback IIC. Talk about a joke! If you are given one to pilot you might as well use the ammo to dig your own grave.
Placing a L3 custom mech against a inferior designed canon mech is hardly a fair fight. Even the fluff on the IIC says its a last ditch mech. Hardly befitting a true clan warrior. Without max tech in front of me (I am at work) I was wondering if Laser Reflective armor was available in L3 to the clans. A UAC20 with 4 tons of ammo 55tonner with a movement profile of 6/9/6 (masc12) and 2 ERML would easliy do what it is supposed to do: Get behind and open the soft spot in the rear with a giant can opener. I could probably place the dreaded targeting computer onto it with some of the L3 weight reduction items and just plough through a side torso.
Even without going in the back door. Going full frontal would be a challange for you. With hexes 10-12 out of your range and still in AC range you would be forced to try and close. Or be forces to plink away with 4 pts of ERLL damage (This is half with Laser reflective armor). With hex 8-7 being med to the AC and still long for ML's you would have to play the range game very carefully. The clan 55tonner has the superior movement esp with MASC engaged would mean that I would fight at a range beneficial to me. Since clan pilots are superior to IS pilots i would be able to deliver solid hits.
Finally just because a UAC can fire on double tap dosnt mean you have too. With 20 shots anything over 8's would only squeeze off one round and add in both ERML.
