In other words, the Rifleman is perfectly fine and fits the lore.

What's the problem?

Rifleman was also mainly an anti-aircraft mech in lore, yet we don't have those in game either. Pull your head out of your ***.

Jager hardpoints are a tad higher.

I still love my 6DD build... 2x LB-10X, 4x MG, 2x MLs, 295XL. And of course, the 6A can pack Missiles. So those two are safe in my mechbay.

Funny, your DD looks a lot like mine after some flavor alterations:

2xUAC/5, 4x MG, 2xML, STD 280.

JM6-A isn't going anywhere for me, excellent splat 'Mech. However, if the BJ-2 ever comes out...

The ballistics points on the Jager are higher, but being higher is actually a bad thing in this case as they are way above cockpit level. The energy are also all low except on FB, where two of them are with the ballistics.

I'm saving up to buy a second JM6-A right now so I can have one with artemis and one without. I do believe if I had to be stuck with only one mech forever that would be it.

It doesn't change the fact that it's still infamous for its poor armour and dakka-heavy support-oriented loadouts.

Why so salty?

it's a fun mech. My fave build is 4xLRM, 2xAC5 and 2x MLs. It's based off my old 2035 TT build.

I would but yours seems to be in the way.
