The AC/2 is a joke on a heavy 'mech.
No wait, sorry, that isn't true.
An AC/2 is a joke regardless of where its mounted.
I beg to differ. Aside from the poor showing (I felt) against Jwalk interviewing to join 9thSD, I tended to destroy things with my BJ and its dual AC/2. No other BJ could hang with me. 4 points of damage with 2 seconds of cooldown between, which meant I was firing again before the second AC/2 was done cooling down. Most other mechs didn't have a chance to get back up before they were dead. Granted this would be different against heavy and assault class 'mechs, but 3025 didn't last long enough for that really.

Granted in MPBT you were able to aim for cockpits with that AC/2[sic]
I have to admit if it weren't for this I probably wouldn't have been quite as good as I was at what I did. The BJ in 3025 had a weak crotch. I exploited that to the max.
