  AC is good as it can cause enemy mech to topple...
  
  But still i would prefer to fit 2 to 4 ER large laser (group for long shooting) and optional 2 PPC (for medium range) to whack their legs off if enemy wander too near...
  
  still can recall using 'alpha strike' then the following msg will be heard 'heat critical... system shutting down'
  

  Play the latest edition, then you see BIG difference. PPC longer range and more damage then large laser.
  
  Use long tom artillery!

  urh not too sure which is the newest edition...

  Latest so far is Mechwarriors 4: Mercenaries. There are also clan and innerspere expansion packs, also there is the Black Knight version and of course the MW4 as the platform.
  
  I waiting for newer version of Mech Commander...
  
  PPC based on the stats in MW4 is Range 850m, Damage 10, Heat 10, Recycle rate 6. ER PPC is Range 1000m, Damage 16, Heat 16, Recycle rate 10.
  
  FOr sniping, get ER PPC. For constant usage get PPC.
  
  And PPC is alot faster than the slow one in MW3, albeit still slower than lasers and gauss rifles.
