Yeah, you're right. My guess is they are 11 tons (w/ ammo) as the Uziel without JJs has ~23 tons of weapons, and the Harasser (given a fusion engine instead of ICE) has ~ 12 tons of weapons available.

Lt. Gauss Fafnir would still be overweight by at least 5.5 tons though, and it would change my suggested design as such.

Chassis weight - Assault - 100 tons
Internal Structure - Endo Steel - 5 tons
Engine - 300 Vlar - 19 tons
Gyro + Cockpit - 6 tons
Armor - Standard - 19.5 tons
Pod Space - 50.5 tons
1 Lt. Gauss Rifle - RA - 11 tons (1 ton of ammo included)
1 ERLBL - LA - 5 tons
1 ERMBL - RT - 2 tons
1 ERMBL - LT - 2 tons
1 Lt. Gauss Rifle - RT - 11 tons (1 ton of ammo included)
1 Lt. Gauss Rifle - LT - 11 tons (1 ton of ammo included)
6 Free Tons
LAMS - 1.5 tons
BAP - 1 ton

Has anybody had a chance to play any urban jungle like maps with the Power Glove?  That would be spectacular.

You should know by now how MWLL works.

Some Fafnir boats are surely annoying to the max, noticeably the Quad LtGauss. Quad LBX20 is far easier to counter though, it is just as painful as the MkII B without the UACs and SRMs blinding you and shaking you all the way.

Increase lbx RoF for 10s & 20s to match the RoF of the same class standard ACs. = fixed.
Instagib ASF CHEEESE gone.  8)

+ Solid slug ammo can now be implimentred without. A balancing nightmw (so solid=same as the equivalent AC class (as in the tabletop and Lore).

Simples.

Then comes the means of switching to said solid ammo while on the field. But this begs the question: why would anyone take the equivalent AC class if they have the option of cluster or solid shot with LBX? So I guess I really should be asking, what is the big difference here making both weapons worth using on the field, well beside weight? I would just put LBX on everything if worked just like standard ACs, and UAC when I'm feeling frisky.

If one of your side torsos is destroyed, you would not face this one towards the enemy, right?
So do the same with your legs, hide one leg behind the other.

I thought you played MWLL long enough to know, that this won't work ;). By their very nature, legs are always exposed, when they are not hidden behind the hill from the point of view of the enemy.
But you can make it a lot more difficult to concentrate all the firepower to one single leg. Changing the direction of the cirlce of doom can help.

When you get legged in one volley, it doesn't matter which leg he shoots. Shortly after the Fafnir came out I got legged in a single volley by a Fafnir Prime in a Warhammer Prime. That was ridiculous.

I'm guessing 4x LBX20 Fafnir is easily one-volley legging just about anything sub-assault.

this

I always say legging isn't an issue and there are easy counters, but if he can leg you in one shot, you just can't counter that
of course he can also take out 95% of your torso in one shot as well, so it's not like legging is the issue here

Price and tonnage aren't to be ignored. Standard autocannons will still see plenty of use from me even if LBX-20 slug ammo gets implemented.
