When you boat big weapons on an Assault mech, anything usually works--hell, even LRMs work. I want LBXs to be more useful in general. As is, there is almost no reason not to pick the ultra version for Clans, or regular version for the IS.
Instead of waiting for someone to be stripped of armor, I'd rather have the LBX to be a superior weapon, when fired at shorter range. And 2x damage to structure means little when half the pellets are not even hitting a single section at mid range.
If we could just accept regular ACs becoming extinct, we could have slugs. Then they would become useful without having to increase damage output per pellet.
Oh wait, I guess that is my unreasonable request that I know will never be implemented. Two birds, one stone.....so they say.
