4SP > 4P > (any other random hunchback you fancy)

4SP can do the job of a 4J.

4J has one more laser slot than the 4SP and can fire LRMs better than the 4SP.

You can throw your 4SP gear into the 4J and it will work the same. You can throw your 4J gear onto your 4SP and it will almost work the same except it's less effective against AMS (due to staggered missile fire thanks to less missile ports).

4G is best taken for 3x AC/2 or 2x UAC/5 builds (possible with stock engine and 3x Medum Lasers as backup).

4H can go AC/20, 5x Medium Laser for 45 pinpoint Alpha strikes or if you just like having 5 lasers + 1 big ballistic weapon in general.

The weakness of every single Hunchback excep tthe 4SP is that most of their weapons (including the extra lasers) are all in the Right Torso. The 4SP evenly splits its hardpoints between both arms and torsos making it retain more damage after losing half its body.

There are a ton of Hunchback guides out. You can go search for some.

I love both the 4G with an AC20 and 3 Medium Lasers, and the 4SP with 1 Large Laser, 2 Medium Lasers, and 2 SRM 6.
