So, this PNT-10P. I was expecting it to be good for a few chuckles but, like I found the ENF-5P, ultimately a bad 'mech for me. That 5P was basically unusable for everything I tried to do with it, and that wasn't terribly encouraging. It wound up only the second 'mech I've sold off before mastering it.

So I decided to go pretty derp with this silly ballistic Panther- 180 XL engine, LB10-X, 2xSRM-2 with two tonnes of each ammo type. The speed's not bad, but with no jets and the mass of the LB-X autocannon, it's.... let's say pretty lopsided.



....as it turns out, it makes a surprisingly effective brawler like that, hauling around the weapons of a low-end Medium while only being as tall as a Light. Kinda wish I'd found a way to finagle jump jets on, but it's not a loss I'm feeling too hard, nor is the low speed to carry the weapons loadout.

Now, I know I'm not in the top Elo brackets or anything (I'm a pretty good pilot, but only a mediocre shot), but this thing is turning out a lot better at overall combat than I was expecting, so I just wanted to share my moderate level of glee at running around shotgunning things.

I hope everyone else with a 10P is enjoying it too.


TL;DR: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
