The AH next to the YLW are my most favourite Skirmishers
WTF - what is a Skirmisher?
Well the Skimisher is an almost extinct animal that could have been found in the era of Closed and Open Beta.
He did extinct because he was not a teamplayer and facing superior numbers and firepower it was easy prey.
Well anyhow - a good Skirmisher never attacks twice from the same direction - if you dive for cover - run - don't turn
its is mostly a brawler that should dish out damage in a brief period - and it have to be fast and mobile.

WTF...SRM2s?
XL?
right: the reasons:
as said you are alone - when you make a mistake and got stucked somehow you usually face 3-4 enemy Mechs.... the difference in survivability between XL and STD is nil.
But more important a better engine reduces the time you are exposed.
The SRM2 - fires fast - chain fire and hold the trigger - you don't have to aim - those SRM2s work more as a chaff rather than deal damage it should throw off the aim of your enemy.
Always have a look on your map:
watch for separate targets attack them - use speed and ferocity
watch for holes in the enemy line - slip through - and attack from the rear
Usually targets attacked from the rear - if you made undetected into their rear - will only turn after the second sometimes the third hit - so don't fire the SRM while your AC 20 reload. If the target start to turn - use SRM 2 on the first while you go for a second target
