Okay another upgrade of another well known vehicle...this time I tried to give a mixed use, it has the speed for hit&run, but can dish out some decent knock down power, BUT it has a couple big drawbacks. Yes I know that I could have gone with a different missile system, keep in mind the idea of firing the missiles, then darting in and hitting them with the twin LPPCs, that trick should catch your oppeaneant off guard and allow a good chance to turn the battle to your favor.

Once again (Just ike with the Striker) I'd say that MMLs would do the job better. If I wanted just to annoy something from afar and then annoy it a little bit more with quick passes and heavy hits, then I'd go for a LPL or perhaps with a Snub-nose PPC (LPPC technically is a long ranged ML annoying, but not too scary. I understand the need to stay away with a scout tank). Once again, XL engine = not worth the effort for me.
