Fire Scorpion variants - 2 or 3?

[worktroll]

Okay, I'll be kitbashing my Fire Scorpion into either the 2 or 3 variant. Both have their attractions - who doesn't love the UAC-20? ;) - and their strong points. ANything with Clan LRMs has a big tick in its favour; but jump-jets and a TC arevery good, particularly for a quad.

Anyone got any experience with both/either? Any recommendations?

I like the 3 best for its jjz but it's really only good in dense terrain like urban or forest, or mountains.

The 2 has token long-range weapons but they're not especially powerful, and once you get into brawling range most Clan mechs are fast enough to give a slow quad problems. The 3 variant's jjz help it a lot there.

Well, both versions have 10 single heat sinks, so that sucks. I would go for the 3, the jump jets on a slow quad are a big benefit and the UAC/TC combo is a nice addition.

I also prefer the 3. Mainly because I hate LRM 10's.
