Erm...

Well, it is basically just a generic 60-tonner remniscient of designs like the Myrmidon, Po, etc. The LRM w/ Artemis complements the PPC nicely, although the damage it deals would be strictly harrasment only. Speed is decent, and the armour is quite extensive. My question is this: at what range would you be expecting to engage with this tank? The medium-to-long ranges are covered, as well as the short (ML), but it seems that if something can get in close to the tank, the lack of coverage in that range could be problematic? What with the minimum ranges on both the PPC and the LRM rack.

Also, looking at the cost, the design seems a tad expensive, although I do not have all my resources at hand at the moment to compare with similar designs of both 'Mechs and tanks.
