Okay, at first glance, I thought the little front wheel was just a typically odd Battletech choice. But the write up sold me on it. In a sort of 'it doesn't turn great on loose terrain, but we haven't got time for a good fix, but we can bodge an almost good enough one.' And the machine guns add a nice land battleship concept flair. I hope they're partially retractable (like on the OGs) as a concession to practicality. Because they are the sort of thing that sensible civilian engineers who've thought about tanks but haven't worked with the people who use them come up with. (Inventing technical solutions to a perceived problem, when that problem has long been dealt with by doctrine.) And in that way,the sticky-outy machine guns also fit with the write up. I love it all, its peak Battletech!

"What's the turn radius on this thing, Ted?" "Well, Bob, I'd have to say no." "What do you mean *no?"* "I mean no." "No?" "No." "Alright then. Its turn radius is No." "Correct. Lunch?" "Yes."

Some of them look really cool in the Battletech universe. The striker is one of the all time greats visually.

I like how it looks like a beefed up version of the APC carrier from Aliens!

I feel like this should have a battle armor transport capability. Just by the way it looks or even mobil HQ equipment.

LRM-15 & ERL-Laser sounds good but it may need to get uncomfortably close to score hits. It's in the dead zone for me between tanky enough to take hits and fast enough to avoid hits.
