I probably wouldn't call this reasonable anyways, but this is effectively the lowest tonnage I can fit an AC/20 and some good mobility (jump 8) on, there's a version in the same tonnage I can make 7/11/7, or 8/12(16), but this is close to a canon mech

I'd personally drop that 6th JJ for half a ton more armour

But very nice!

[vocal hazel]

You see, there's only five rounds of fire, and it's a UAC, it might even jam. Where we're going, we're not surviving for more than three turns anyways

[fleet ravine]

What is your definition of reasonable? Cause that design doesnt look reasonable in the slightest

[mystic dagger]

Nothing with an AC20 of ANY KIND is 'reasonable', but it might be useable

[vocal hazel]

Reasonable being armored enough to not instantly die to a clan ERML, while being fast + jumpy and toting a UAC/20

[fleet ravine]

highly incorrect

[mystic dagger]

Each shot is 200 kilos

[fleet ravine]

Basing it off 7 damage is pretty bad since thats not considered main weapon territory. You'd be better judging off of 8 or 10

[vocal hazel]

Yes, but there's only so much room for armor, unless you roll small cockpit and add a ton onto it

[fleet ravine]

Calling it reasonable typically means it would be fieldable. But for its cost this thing is more apt to just lose your money. You can get other much cheaper options of UACs of similar survivability [for instance the UAC Saladin]

Shoot. You can almost get 4 UAC Saladins for this cost

[vocal hazel]

C-bills are fake anyways, I don't value them unless it's a 3025 unit, per BV you can take two, which is nice but hovers have some harsh mobility limits

Actually no wait it's like

1.5

[fleet ravine]

Not really. The only thing they cant enter is woods
