| Well now that you installed the AES, i wanna get the most I can from it. Like moving the LRM over there. Because Pulse missiles are funny. Or drop the lower and cram the TSEMP over there too.

The Artemis V systems already give the missiles a bonus to strike.
Mostly did this to give the left arm a reason to look different from the right.

But why have a -1 to hit when you can have a -2?
Game Mechanics vs mech flavor. I understand.

| Why risk losing more of my firepower if two weapons are mounted on one arm, and I lose the arm, just to get an extra one point bonus to hit?

Because if the other guy is already dead, you're more likely to keep the arm.
If you're at the point where you're losing arms, you have bigger problems.
Do unto others.

Of course, some people play using floating criticals, so the arm could be blown off at any point in the game.
Edit: Mostly though, I was working a WYSiWYG to the mini. Also, I hate having all, or at least a significant portion of my firepower isolated to one side of my BattleMech. It allows a good opponent to outflank me with no hope of response.

Mini matching is good on the artsy side. As is redundancy.
Could be worse. I have an idea floating around for a mech with like 3 clan large pulse lasers and AES in the same arm. Idea is to exploit LOS range brackets, bracing, and careful aim.
