Well that's a good point. And i have to admit, just 1 medium laser after becoming a stick is not too thrilling. The longer i think about it the less sense i see in zombies. Thanks.
Zombie 'Mechs have their uses. Some of them are solid 'Mechs, all right.
But
MechWarrior Online has no campaign mode - you do not have to care about your 'Mech too much. There are no repair costs and rearment is always possible. Losing your 'Mech to the internal ammo explosion or to the destroyed XL engine means nothing else than that you jump in some other 'Mech and drop into the next game.
That's why ballistic boats are so popular in MWO, for example. They can overwhelm with their firepower even well-designed Zombie 'Mechs, simply because their survivability is a secondary concern for them.
In the end, it is your choice. Pilot what you wish, just try to get some kills.
