I had not considered the... peculiar challenges posed to BattleTech's universal translation hardware (aside from the computers necessary to accomplish the task being the size of walk-in closets).
The first generation of Clan machines focusing most weapons in the arms did more to keep me IS than their lore did.
MechFrog has his aversion to IS XL engines, I have an aversion to putting all my guns in the arms.

@NoDoubtDova I'm assuming youre a mechwarrior guy? Tabletop its battle armor's jam. Carry them on mechs, deploy onto enemies. Knee attacks, swarm attacks, rip the mechwarrior out and tear him in half. The usual.
