In short, AC2s and UAC2s are both very lightly effective against 'mechs and heavy armor - they can be used to pressure someone that's max range is under yours from brazenly standing on a hill (This has come into play in quite a few organized games, to chip ER PPC heavy mechs from a few hundred meters out of their max range) but that's about it.  In a regular stand-up fight, they're very poor weapons outside of their dedicated purpose.  This is of course excluding the Siege Engine, which quite effectively boats these weapons.  They're also far, far superior to their board game counterparts - AC2s are utterly worthless in CBT.

That is boating UAC5s not UAC2s.

The only UAC2 Boat is Huey Prime.
And that one is . . difficult . .
'any kind of discussion of randomness ALWAYS WILL EQUATE to being able to critically hit a mech's reactor by firing a micro beam laser while facing 80 degrees to the side, shooting the ground, which would cause a random explosion which would randomly crit his entire team's reactors which would randomly cause the server itself to explode which would randomly generate a strange quark which would randomly hit the earth and randomly randomness randomfapp the shit fapp random!'

The Partisan E is even more of a UAC2 boat, with no other weapons except a couple Mguns.
