where its bring long duration beam weapons, jamming autocannons, multiple PPCs, or six MG shadowcats with gauss rifles... and then use them in a circle duel brawl at 100 meters ?? Clearly I took a contract with the wrong side if this is the state of things now.

Nah, you just need to make friends with rational people that will drop in scouting with you...

IMO now there are probably a lot of inexperienced pilots scouting just to get the loot bags.

With Streakcrows out of the picture, the IS can run different Mechs than just 4 Griffin 2Ns. The broader variety of IS, makes the Clans bring other Mechs ... yesterday we dropped in 6 SPL 3Flamer Hunchbacks and toasted Streak Huntsmen, IIC-Hunchies, SPL-Novas ... Meta means nothing. Flamers for Life!

This is where the aforementioned quad uac2 hunchie comes into play.... the trick is to find the right balance of speed and ammo supply.... not a silver bullet, but it can take some heat ecen if you close the distance.
