I know this is crazy, but has anyone ever considered mounting the machine guns and ammo outside the armor? I know, I know, ammo boxes and belt feeding are lostech.

The storm battered at Sergeant Cage’s Awesome, more persistent than any human foe. Rain fell in rolling sheets, pummeling the Awesome’s battered armor relentlessly. The downpour seemed to pause momentarily as her PPCs discharged, the heat of their passage simply re-vaporizing falling rain in a wide swath in front of her.

It didn’t matter, there was always more rain.

Her target, a Capellan Urbanmech staggered as her PPCs stripped over a ton of armor from its barrel-shaped chest. The Urbanmech staggered, then fell a moment later as the sweeping amber lasers of Janos’ Ostroc converted the last of the Urbie’s skeleton supporting the `Mech’s right torso into steel vapor. The `Mech’s heavy autocannon, held in place only by bundled myomer, tore free with enough force to warp the Urbanmech’s few remaining structural supports. One of the snapping bundles lashed back like a rubber band, instantly binding the little `Mech’s gyro. Another Capellan down.

It didn’t matter, there were always more Capellans.

Yeah, Conventional Fighters are actually more maneuverable in atmo than ASF since they're kinda, you know, purpose-built for it. Granted, they pay for it with garbage armor potential, inability to use DHS, and a max weight of 50 tons, but they're also fairly cheap. And when most weapons are fixed forwards, being more maneuverable so you can stay in the enemy's rear arc is really attractive.

Congratulations on six years of giant stompy robot action, Poptarts! Looking forward to another year of carnage, mayhem and political intrigue in the Inner Sphere!

"Now, see, now you see the coaching aspect of things come into play here again. The defense went into a coverage scheme with a lot of defensive backs, which is what they needed to do. But the offense has some patient, accurate passers on the field, guys who can really make some plays and put points on the board. And these Donars, you know, they're some of the fastest players in the National Football League, but matched up against really big receivers or a tight end, they're not gonna make that tackle every time."

"Ordinarily, as a coach, I'd be more worried about some of the guys on the offense who are looking gassed out there, but it seems to me like they're all playing it safe and changing up their blocking schemes to deal with the new package. You know, the Naginata, the Sagittare, the Mauler, they're not looking too good right now, but they're toughing it out. Sometimes in a big game, even though you'd rather spell guys for a series or two, these star player kind of guys aren't gonna tell you how hurt they are and they're gonna keep playing. You really have to respect that kind of grit."

"One thing to watch out for is that with the offense going for the heavy kind of formation here, bringing in those Roughnecks, now they can pick up the safety blitz from the Summoner real easy. If they can take him out of the play that is a huge win for the offense."

"The other thing to watch is how the Battlemaster and Jagermech move. If they go for easy shots, they're gonna take some back. But if they step up in the pocket, or roll out into the flats, there's spots where they can avoid any incoming fire from those Donars, or at least make the Donars have a real tough time getting hits. The Donars have great speed, but the agility is sometimes a problem, you know, the lateral movement in coverage. So getting into a side arc where they can't hit back, making a move to freeze them, that kind of thing - it could be a real huge play for those two right now."

It works fine in the Federated Suns and Capellan Confederation, where most buildings are only 2-4 stories tall.
