Did...did I miss something or have Arctic Wolves somehow not existed for years? Sure Arctic Wolves don't/can't jump, but they can also carry way heavier payloads. And if you feel like being cheeky, you can get the dumb thing going significantly faster than many light 'Mechs move while still having an actually really good dogfighting armament (massed SRM-2s are not 'efficient' in hardpoint-to-damage terms, but the cycle rate advantage is very real if you have enough hardpoints). I fail to see how Scaleshot does anything an Arctic Wolf or JIIC can't other than jump. Sure, Viper jumps are excellent, but the comp guys have detested jump capacity for years. Why's that changed?
this ACW can jump and has ECM and a similar alpha. speed is way lower but it still slaps
