Good BA in 31xx (or any era)

They are scouts . . . scouts generally avoid being fired on.  They along with the standard GDL suit had extra sensors afaik that do not make much of a impact on TT game.  For strategic purposes they are still excellent suits . . . just not cut out for stand up battles, its not their arena.

For me at one point, in built up terrain I loved them b/c they were extremely mobile for a very low BV to make leg attacks . . . which just runs counter to what I said, lol.

Exactly. You want them to find the hidden stuff, the battle part is for their heavier friends. Also, they could work in COIN.

So a Grey Death Scout suit might be used for Special Operations (Loki, DEST, Seventh Kommando)? Sort of like the Nighthawk PAL from the Star League?

Yeah, and honestly if your a 'big' enough merc unit to want a special forces/pathfinder small unit like the Dragoons, ELH or GDL then GD Scouts are likely all you are going to be able to get on the open market for quite a while.  I mean what mech force put in their contract a rider about buying Kage/Infiltrator Mk II/Kobold/Angerona/Achileus/etc?
