Cataphract is still the heaviest mech with ballistic HPs in more than one mech section. Do you think MWO could support, say a Battlemaster with ballistic hardpoints in an arm and a torso? Would it break the game?
When Clan Omnimechs appear, they will likely (or should) all have at least one omni-pod or hardpoint each. That will be filled with one of 2x UAC20's in most instances. So imagine a Thor or Madcat coming at you with 2x UAC20's and alot of little stuff like ER Meds at 75-85 kph. Or a Clan Assault. You are in your Battlemaster with an AC20 or 2x AC5's. What do you do?
It's always good to have a plan.
