Congratulations.  You have managed to make the Hunchback 2C look like a sane and reasonable exercise in military procurement.

Its bloody insane and I love it.

Haha. Thanks. I figured a conventional fighter like this would have it's place.

I'm working on designs that Quickscell could mass-produce using specs and deals with other companies. Like the rest of their stuff.

You could do a thunderbolt version for a higher price tag.
I think those fighters use minimum 5-pt clusters?

I just noticed... looks like the armor values are low by half a ton (8 points... it says 3 tons, but only has 40 points allocated, not 48).

Hello Nurse
if this manages to make it to any contested area someone looking for a Nurse

I just noticed... looks like the armor values are low by half a ton (8 points... it says 3 tons, but only has 40 points allocated, not 48).
I'm sure it just wrapped around those AC20 sticking out

I have no idea where it would come from, but it really needs 2 more tons to turn those into Ultra AC/20s.

Too bad there are no one-shot autocannons...

Good stuff.

Suddenly I'm thinking of a Twin Mechbuster.  Much like the Twin Mustang.

I guess you can make it work with rapid fire autocannons...

My bad. It should be 2.5 tons of armor.
