Well it has 6 tons of armor, only 10 points for each arm, 11 for the ct, and 8 for each side torso which is where the AC ammo is stored. One PPC shot to the right torso and you have a flaming trashcan. I'll be happy if they put this Mech in the game, that large AC should be an easy target, leaving you with a sm. laser. And just watch the videos showcasing assaults and realize that your trashcan will be moving slower than that, makes hitting a target..... er Urbanmech just that much easier.
Are you suggesting the UrbanMech is more fragile than the average Light Mech?
Anyways, I just made a better UrbanMech with a TT builder. Starting with a R60LG gauss-variant, I swapped-in an endosteel chassis and an XL engine, and dropped the small Laser to add Gaurdian ECM. Plus Gauss ammo doesn't explode, so no CASE, and if the Gauss Rifle, itself, explodes then you lose nothing but the arm and that's a sign that they were going to disarm you anyways, so... yeah. It's way better than the AC/10 variant, in my opinion.
I now have a jumping UrbanMech with Gauss and ECM... stay out of my neighborhood or I'll find you... and I'll find you before you find me.
