That woudl be my issue.. I try to avoid the mechs with heat rolls like that. I fail them pretty frequently!

Serious Armor Piercing artillery. I really don't care for ARTY vs Shiro's. I hate inching them up to better stats. I like to hammer them good and really reduce their effectiveness!

The black armor on the shiros (and on one of the Roku's) is seriously nice. I'm glad it doesn't last for more than a couple of clicks though. Otherwise, the shiro would be nigh impossible to take down.

Hardened armor is not a problem if you have Armor Piercing mounted, which I tend to notice almost every army has either a mech or two with it, or an artillery mounting it.

I don't play that Much AP arty any more (and the Arrow IV's are retiring soon) so there are limited choices for AP arty. A good hit and that isn't the issue any more.. I have seen a couple of shiro's on the opponents team but they haven't been that much a threat! I should try playing one once and I will see all the bad things that can happen to one!

I can't imagine playing a Shiro myself, to much point and shoot simplicity.

Try playing a Locust then! Takes some real patience... they can get hit easily by infantry!

Locusts... brrrr You are sending chills down my spine.. In my opinion there is nothing like playing a unit to find its weaknesses I always seem to find them!

Hey at least locusts are cheap.... even if they get nailed by infantry <_< There's nothing more satisfying then alpha-striking a fat mech with Shin Yoshida.... even if she dies after the AS (which is pretty much guaranteed)

Somehow.. I don't find throwing ~125 points away satisfying.. for the possibility of doing some damage

I do! At least when she hits... you gimp a fat mech for 125 pts!
Except.... for that one time I tried to AS a Liao A4 Tank (somebody was running a pure cheese army) and missed.... that didn't end well <_<

I think we need to lay this out now, for the record, Locusts blew monkey balls, end of story.

I saw a lot of dual targes. I actually play more Liao now than I did then! I play Liao Arty quite frequently... I have only a couple of times played Liao Mechs. I really dislike the short range. I like your combo My son played Mason very well (he is a big ROTS supporter). I just can't think of anything bad about SSW A4's except that everyone hated them and that they were reduced
