Somebody needs to play this out about 20 times on megamek. Ten games each mech.
If you mean vs. the bot, sure--why not.

OK, I really thought I'd do better as the Charger, but I think a couple of those losses weren't really my fault :'( I'll list the highlights, some of them are at least a little funny.
First
As the Charger1. Ammo crit, back shots from small lasers and punches.
Charger wins.2. Slugging match up over a hill.
Charger.3. 2xCT with the first two AC20 shots. Shortly thereafter, cored.
Hunchback wins.4. First salvo, medium laser through the Charger's armor, 2x Gyro hits.
Hunchback wins.5. Ammo crit, back shots.
Charger.6. Hunchback is legged from 2xkicks, Charger loses R. Torso early-on.
Charger7. Hunchback is Hip crit from 1 kick and s.lasers. Downhill from there.
Charger.8. Ammo crit, back shots.
Charger.9. Charger ranged by Hunchback, Charger loses Gyro. I lost a LOT of initiative.
Hunchback.10. Hunchie loses AC20 to back shots (only used once), 2 turns later, Charger blacks out for 8 turns from head hits. Darn, I really thought I had this one!
Hunchback wins.oh, and I've got to add: I lost many side torsos and arms in the process, and was often without all 5 s.lasers one way or another. The AC20 does a lot of hurt, it's just that the Charger is fairly resilient.
As the Hunchback1. Hunchback ranges Charger.
Hunchback wins.2. Hunchback ranges Charger.
Hunchback wins.3. Hunchback ranges Charger.
Hunchback wins.4. Hunchback ranges Charger.
Hunchback wins.5. Hunchback ranges Charger.
Hunchback wins.6. . . . I just stopped at this point. The AI isn't aggressive enough with the Charger; if I just play conservatively there's really no reason I should lose the fight aside from some really random BS. I'm getting occasionally pelted with the s. lasers, but it's just too easy to outmaneuver the bot, I didn't take but a couple kicks at all, and no back shots.
It's hard to say the bot is a good measure of the fight, but if there's a lesson in it, it might be that the Charger has to be more aggressive and take chances to win, & the Hunchback really doesn't. The Charger can win, but when you have to take chances, random stuff happens!
