This seems strange, but the x-5 does not have an AMS slot. As far as I know, this is the only mech without one. Is this on purpose or was this just missed? Not having AMS or ECM makes it pretty freaking vulnerable to missile fire....

You think that's bad? The prototype Lancelot has no ejection seat! Just be glad that the X-5's budget wasn't that tight!

This behavior existed since the X5's debut. At the time, missiles weren't as powerful as they are now.

It's certainly worth whining/reconsidering for because of it.

Walls however are free and there for everyone to use, if you get caught out in the open in any mech you've only got yourself to blame.

Be a Hero and avoid being shot at in the first place.

No AMS was a deliberate design tradeoff for the 2 missile hard points you get to use.

One of the Spiders didn't have an ejection seat either.
