Best not use 2/3 of our anti-tank missiles on a single biotic. Honestly, even one of them is overkill. And we don't know what else may be coming--no sense in wasting most of our heavy weapons on the first target to present itself.
Seriously, these things one-shot main battle tanks. The only reason we're going with using them at all right now is that we REALLY can't afford to lose Revy's research data.
Also worth remembering that AT missiles are
fast and we have VI controlled targeting. I'd put really low odds on missing and even if there was a chance of missing we'd simply shoot the ground
near the target since an Anti-Tank round going off anywhere near you will very much kill you dead.
It would seem to me to be a valid anti-infantry/vehicle setup that has both combat endurance and can function well against pretty much any target that isn't a MBT or doesn't have an arc-reactor. Hasta are light anti-vehicle guns going by pre-arc-reactor classification, the idea was derived from a shuttle's support cannon after all.
Actually it works pretty well against MBTs. Do remember we demonstrated the Pilum against an (admittedly older model) Batarian MBT and
obliterated it with a single shot.
All though its not the best setup for a extremely mobile target.
Really? Because I would have thought 2 mounted sub-machine guns with computer controlled tracking would be
perfect for taking down extreamly mobile targets.
*Looks at front page's skills...* That's your tech buffing you I'd think. Power Armor Piloting and Firearms are both "Basic" and nothing's changed that so far...
I think that might be a
bit out of date. We have literally had "Basic" power armor piloting and firearms proficiency since Thread 1. That was, in game,
at least 3 years ago.
Frankly given the skill Revy demonstrated in the raid, the Legionary demonstration, and her fight with the security teams either "Basic" is
completely inaccurate or, and in my opinion more likely, it's measuring of a scale where "Basic" is fresh Spectre level (IE: Eden Prime Shepard).
That would likely put "Intermediate" at ME2 Shepard (IE: Suicide Mission? I'll do it without a
single casualty) and "Advanced" at ME3 Shepard (IE: Endless armies of husks? Fighting Reaper Destroyers on foot? Having the Geth and Quarians kiss and make up? No problem!) levels.
Nope! A Hasta is a ~0.6-0.7m long gun (at least in my mind, no update says anything official) the Tiger can use Hasta if their mounted but the base AMS turrets are listed as "SM-01 Point Defense turrets" which I've always read as sub-machine gun turrets. (Is that what you meant
@UberJJK?
Originally it was Hastas as per:
[ ] Advanced Fire Control VI (400): By attaching a millimeter band radar and advanced fire control VI to your power armor, you can adapt both shoulder mounted autocannon and micro-missiles to serve as a point defense system against incoming rockets and grenades.
But it did get swapped to SMGs for some reason I can't remember.
Still this does bring up a bit of a flaw in your Legionary design. You have 4x Hastas on the arms and 2x SMGs on the shoulders. However here we have Hasta being shoulder mounted and in the SMG blurb:
[]Wrist mounted mass accelerator. (50) Adding an SMG class mass accelerator to the suit with a wrist mount should be child's play, but it will take a little work.
SMGs as wrist mounted weapons.
Speaking of the Hasta's size:
You completed your autocannon research, and managed to put together a small but incredibly potent weapon that can be mounted on both the forearm and shoulder hard points of you Legionary armor, as well as putting together a larger rifle variant that can be held by the armor like a traditional rifle. It's fully integrated into the targeting system of the suit, and despite it's small size it's easily half again as powerful as the Batarian cannon you salvaged, thanks in large part to it's generous power budget. A very good weapon all around.
There is a reason the tech is called "Compact Autocannon". The mounted versions are smaller then rifles. The fact that they fit on the shoulder suggests we're looking more at something the size of a
Predator's shoulder canon.
Arm 1: Sagitta Launcher x 2 (Say maybe 20 rounds per launcher...?
@UberJJK had some size analysis earlier but I don't recall)
Going off the various in text size descriptions and the appearance in Iron Man 1 I've estimated the the Sagitta is around the size of a
10mm Auto round. Given that the Legionary is less Iron Man sized and more
Iron Monger sized. I figure we could fit a
lot of Sagitta rounds in it.
