Thought I'd add to the pile...

I never thought about range on demos with the PC, or the fact that you can move with the three HB. Thats why Autocannon/Multilaser sentinels are actually useful in most generic situations (they can continually move to reposition and get a head start). Otherwise they're only good in stuff like steel legion for Scouts, among other specialist circumstances. I'll never forget about my HB's again...

I really though they were there for Weapon Destroyed, but I usually take the Lascannon in the hull in case i'm out of armor-punchy... I think I might fix that, not what russes are there for? What do you all think? Without the Lascannon the russ (unless its a demo) has no way of hurting a big tank, barring glancing with the battle cannon which is A. nigh impossible B. probably gone by now. On the other hand its a lot less useful when you could be pouring shots into the enemy.

Also, anyone forget about the Pintle Heavy Stubber? Its got three shots for 12 points. I always put them on my chimeras.
