I'm hoping that, like the BLR, when you don't equip the missiles, you don't have the giant "missile ears."
Thoughts?

A 4xAC5 build would have enough hardpoints for only 4xML, not 6.
I would mainly want to use a Mauler for crazy builds that the King Crab isn't capable of, such as 4xLBX-10.

I'm not preplanning my Maulers, but I expect to mount more 5-rating and 10-rating autocannon than 2s and 20s, out of my warped sense of practicality.

6x AC 2, DHS, Large standard engine (or XL), max armour, etc.
Or , stock+ the mauler but remove the large lasers for 4 Medium lasers to mimic the MW4M stock mauler.

5xAC5 STD300 8T ammo (stripped arms, light on ammo for that many ACs. But 5xAC5...)
4xUAC5 STD300 12T ammo (stripped arms)
2xGauss + 6xML + 6T ammo (gauss rifles are a DAMN sight higher than the ones on the Crabby...)
If its XL viable (iffy, depends on those ST missile boxes vanishing or not) some crazy things are possible, it has 50 tons of space with an XL325, so Dire Wolf level loadouts, with IS PPFLD ballistics and 65kph. Such dakka. Very boom. WOW.
Mauler wont be that similar to the Crab:
Torso mounted ballistics will have much better convergence and cover clearing, also allow for armourless arms to save tonnage as an option.
Side profile does not allow for shooting the STs anywhere near as easily, making it possibly XL viable, and probably a lot tankier.
It doesn't have less tonnage than the crab, because it needs a lot less engine to reach minimum acceptable speed (60kph)

nothing warped about it. Class 5 ACs are the best kind of ACs (best heat of them all, good range, good rate of fire), you just need to use at least 2, preferably 3. Or 5, which im so trying on the Mauler. It wont be very practical, but it will be very boomy.
