Coule be worse, it could be mounting a single SRM-2.....wait, forget I said that. Dont want to give the Ice Hellion wackos any ideas.
Definitely a fire support mech, but not much else. I suppose if I needed to fill a slot in a recon star with something I wouldnt mind losing, Id use one of these. But I wouldnt go out of my way to make sure it survived.

Comment:
Kind of a variant of the Baboon. Use similarly.
Interesting variant, which drops armor in favor of long range firepower. It is clear that speed must act as armor for this 'Mech, and with 8/12 + MASC, you got a healthy portion to rely on. Best used as a component of a fast group, where it can hang back and blast away with LRMs at optimum range.
In a unit made up exclusively of this Mech, it's best to stay clear of enemies that can close. The slower ones you can engage at range, and don't forget to go "prone" each turn to gain a +1 defensive to-hit modifier without any penalties of your own.
Opponents with long range hard hitting weaponry such as erLL's, LPLs and PPC's must be avoided, since it's inevitable they'll hit sooner or later, something which the Snow Fox can't survive. LRM duels are also dangerous. If you must face opponents with that type of weaponry, hang back in long range, and keep using as much cover as you can. Empty your bin, withdraw, reload, and re-engage. Either they'll peg you, or you'll wear them away.
Clearly a bit of a specialist. It's an idea to keep a unit of them behind your lines to quickly deploy some extra firepower at weak points, or to supplement fire on an enemy's weakpoint. While normally you'd like to throw some sturdy Mediums and Heavies that way, these little guys can get there a lot faster.

Not quite sure what is going on here.
What you've got is a scout mech that turns into a quasi-fire support mech. Hmmm... I've never liked LRMs on light 'mechs. Save 'em for the big boys.

The clans found a mech the Urban mech can beat...
Not sure if I should give them a medal for stupidity or just smash their skulls in for designing this piece of trash.
Sorry, but this design is an okay scout due to speed, but it has no way to defend itself really. So whats the point?
Clanners fight for honour... and this has no way to win honour? I'm not sure solohma units would take this mech.
