As LRM boats tend to be fairly rare I was mostly concerned about running into other lights. My first match I dropped on Alpine, not a great map for quad MGs but the SDR platform has the speed to close most gaps so I wasn't too worried. Luck would have it that a stalker has been left behind to guard the enemy base, a more perfect situation for the 5k there could not be. I was running with a 3L and we slowly stripped the armor and I disabled his weapons. At some point during this dance the 3L gets taken out by the stalker so I am left to deal with him. I finally disable the last of his weapons, his CT is orange and I run out of ammo. He is still mobile so he slowly lumbers toward his team while a pound his CT with my LPL. By the time I actually kill him, he has caught up with the rest of his team and I am quickly dispatched by the nearest Jager.
Every other SDR variant would have made rather quick work of that stalker, something needs to change with regard to MGs, I shouldn't have to use all of my ammo on a single enemy. The next few matches I was less lucky and averaged around 150 damage. For comparison I usually do 300-500 damage in my 5D.
