I'm invoking my admin-powers to slightly alter the subject (I can do that, it's awesome to be mad with power!), and I'm going to throw in a vehicle. I know, I know, madness.
We know the story to the Magi, we know it's the product of bad defense-contractor shenanigans and SLDF spending-on-nothing gone awry, but at the end of the day... ever REALLY look at one? Like, what it is, what it does, what it DOESN'T do from a battlefield perspective? Never mind that it never should have been purchased, what it really brings? Because while a tough little IFV/crowd control unit sounds like a handy thing to have around...
+Three medium lasers, all in different arcs, with no ability to ever bring more than one to bear on a target.
+Total lack of a turret- hope those rioters are nice enough to stay in front of the vehicle where the MGs are.
+Expensive fusion engine for a unit designed for defensive roles (and thus not likely straying far from supply/fuel lines)
+SEVENTY ****** TONS. It weighs as much as an Archer for a fraction of the usefulness. And can't use small vehicle bays.
+No built-in infantry compartment. Figure an IFV could use some extra oomph? Tough shit.
+Seriously, an engine that weighs around what a Phoenix Hawk does, to cart around a mishmash of lasers to no real purpose.
Want to have some fun? Try building this 30 tons smaller. Don't change a thing other than the tonnage, and as a result the engine size. It's kinda hilarious actually.
