In one of my previous Merc campaigns, I ran a lance with motley collection of hovertanks: Saracen, Scimitar, Pegasus, and J. Edgar. The Saracen delivered long-range fire, the Scimitar offered direct aimed fire against immobilized targets, and the Pegasus and J. Edgar were the primary workhorses for "parking" enemy vehicles in a few rapid runs through the danger zone. The J. Edgar was eventually replaced with a Drillson when one became available as salvage. A Heavy Hover APC (LRM), an integral part of the infantry company but frequently attached to the hover lance, provided infantry support when needed for the mission.
