Title: What is your favorite Light Suit? Why?
Post by: Minemech on 29 February 2024, 16:44:16
 What is your favorite canon light armor? Why? I have mixed PA(L)s in despite them being functionally different animals.

I don't have a good reason for liking the Achileus, but I'll say my favorite PA(L) is the Nighthawk.

I like the Tornado. Mass produced night hawks is good. Looks like a military army suit instead of a suit for a few specialists.

Achileus. Solid, versatile, stealthed, and looks great.

Assuming the Kobold encompasses the Kobold IIC, definitely that. A Star of those spotting for artillery is nightmarish if you don't have hard counters.

PA(L)s and exoskeletons should really be separate from light battlearmor, because there's a world of performance differences between them.

That said, I also voted for the Nighthawk.

Since you combined power armor and light battle armor, had to go with the Nighthawk. To me, it just screams covert ops.

 This was a very hard vote for me as I very much like a lot of items on this list from the Tornado and Nighthawk to the Kage and Gray Death Scout. I went with the Achileus. I am somewhat interested in the Aerie but have yet to try it out.

Advanced Stealth makes it a beast to hit on the battlefield from larger vehicles like mechs or tanks, and the looks are pretty top notch!
