So I was inspired by the MC4's fan article and mention of 'what would the Bounty Hunter drive' and well...I can't go quite as all-out gonzo as the Skinwalker, but damn if this thing doesn't try. Yes, it would run insanely hot, but the RHS gives it that 51 point heat dissipation - which will cut way down on the thermal pain of an alpha strike. And boy howdy is that one mean alpha.

Because "**** you I'm
an anteaterthe Bounty Hunter" that's how. Oh come on, "How does the Bounty Hunter get a Nova CEWS"
wasn't your first question?
Seriously, this is kind of a mixed bag. LAMS is for being an even bigger jerk to people with SRMs, though I guess using it on incoming Arrow IV is probably a good idea. Especially if said Arrow happens to be an Alamo. (...Now I wonder, CAN you use AMS on an Arrow?) I wanted to roll two ERPPCs with one iHML, but alas there wasn't tonnage for it - not without losing the RHS that makes it (somewhat) work and the Targeting Computer. I wanted to back up the Larges with CERMLs to match the range profile, but that would have put me over-tonnage with the TC, so I went with the ER flamer for style and antipersonnel work, and the LAMS because it didn't affect the TC tonnage.
It's...what it is, I guess. Surprised it didn't break 3000BV, but I guess it just runs too damn hot.
