Comment:
A generally good, cheap design that is actually quite effective against other lights and mediums. The armor is reasonable, especially considering the standard engine. Speed is fair, armor average, heat dissipation OK, weapons damage OK, and weapons accuracy excellent.
I do wonder at the near-useless small pulses; the space would be far better used with an ER medium and another heat sink. Better heat capacity, more damage, and a longer range- really this design's fascination with multiple small pulse lasers is its greatest flaw.

You catch a light mech in this things sights and its gone. If it had better armour it could be a match for Medium mechs. As it stands, its not very effective out of the role of Hit and runs, and ambushing.

Keep this 'mech moving at all times, because your armor is not going to stop anything too heavy. Still, it's sturdy enough, and the pulse lasers mean you will hit what you shoot at.

Comment:
Not quite as much punch as the B variant, but still dangerous. This mech is a good recon killer. However, the mech is going to be near useless against anything heavier than itself. Not because of the weapons, however, but due to the armor. One or two shots with a large weapon, and this mech is through.
