How bad of an idea is it to shove an XL engine into a CN9-AH?
Not a bad one at all. You're screwed if you run out of ammo either way, so keep it on the front foot and use it as an aggressive flanker instead. The chassis can be surprisingly good for this if you just have the speed to interpose that shield arm. This is how I've played my YLW since forever, since I immediately realized I could cram in two UAC/5s in that right arm and go to town. And now with the model update, it just looks sexier than ever...
Though, of course, I can't wait until Piranha realize they have to get over the whole "timeline parity" thing and send some love in the direction of the IS. Talking RACs, Plasma Rifles, MASC and Mechanical Jump Boosters and whatnot here. Once the
real equipment starts hitting the game, you can count on the Centurion becoming that much more relevant again...
