This match required a lot of patience from me, i spent a long while waiting for a moment to actually participate in the fight without suiciding into the enemy team. I'd guess that i spent about half of this match not participating - the first 2m30s were cut for boredom, and a lot of the middle has been sped up 4x (and actually, the original video is 8m24s and this cut is 4m55s, so yeah 59% is almost half).

This match also showcases just how powerful UAVs can be: I knew exactly where that Gargoyle was and which direction he was facing and could pick my moments to step out of cover and blast in reasonable safety.

The ACW-PRIME SO8 gives 50% ammo bonus. I could trade the right shoulder for ACW-A to gain ECM and lose 3xJJ, but that will also lose me the SO8 ammo bonus. I can spend a half-ton of the JJ weight on ammo, but the other ton would be spent on ECM so it won't make up for losing the SO8. My first match with this mech, i almost ran out of ammo (granted, i did lose 1 ton when i lost an arm) and i really liked having 6xJJs, so i'm not sure the ECM is worth it. Mixing them seems like it'd be worse than leaving them separate and distinct: i'll have less ammo than both versions and less jumping than the JJ version.
