technically possible by 3067, but here it is!#Long Range Mek full of issues

dense socket
it may have issues, but it should still work as long-range fire support
drowsy mirage
Heavy PPC be wild
dense socket
wait, dead-fire lrms are too short range to fit my criteria, unfortunately
drowsy mirage
Wait, they have a reduced range?
dense socket
surprised me too; I wasn't familiar with them

Anti-Aircraft Targeting
Poor Performance```Got less punch, but eh
dense socket
eh, long as it can soften targets up for the close-range guys it's fine, right?
that's the whole point of a fire support unit
or at least a large portion thereof
pallid stratus
Wait, they have a reduced range?
They are 5/10/15, 2 damage per missile, and -3 clustering with anything lower than 2 being only one missile hitting regardless of number of missiles
pallid stratus
SRM version has 2/4/6 at 3 damage, honestly not worth it, but the LRMs I'd say are worth it, higher average damage but shorter range
dense socket
well, worth it if the user doesn't suck at least
dark summit
Wouldn't the variable target range (long) quirk do the same thing as your improved & poor combo?

Not at the same time, the trick with VRT is you have to pick one for each turn so if you pick wrong you can screw yourself
And you can only make that change during the end phase of each turn
drowsy mirage
Stat-wise on the board, yes, it would be the same
