    Sounds like the old AC vs. Laser debate when Battledrome and the other one
(aggg, I liked the game and the name eludes me!) came out.

    My solution, for the moment:  Load up on SSRM-6's and the appropriate
ammo.  The T-5 mission (Clan Wolf) was a cinch.  I took a modified Rifleman...
Replace arm weapons with 2 SSRM-6's each.  Set-up for linked fire, wait for
tone...  Instant 24 points of damage.  IE, Lock Jenner, Fire, Kill Jenner.
Lock Kitfox, fire, Kill Kitfox...  Oh, forgot, to help get from one point to
another...  Remove JJ's, add MASC.  :)

    However, that's not working too well on the current mission (retake the
dome on the moon then protect it).  Took my Warhammer first, killed the dome
because the @#$%#@^#$% enemy decided loose his leg right next to the dome.  So
when I fired on him I 'missed' and hit the dome, killing it.  Can we say...
BUG!  I personally don't like this standing with one leg routine.  I much
prefered the leg-'em and the fall down in MW1.
