- Yes, but that assumes that the 5 ER's are being fired in addition to the
- main guns. I find that the 5 ER's and a targetting computer complement
- LRMs very nicely. That way I only really need 3 tons for DSHS, since
- I am firing ER Mediums when I have managed to move close enough. That is
- why I like the ER Medium, because you can tack that lethal 5 pack on
- top of a Clan missleboat. We have had great success with a binary
- LRM 20 Ryoken using this "5 ER Medium's and a targetting computer"
- combo as our secondary weapons system. Speed for days and the guns
- and armor of a heavy. So, as you can see, the attractiveness of the
- ER Medium is more the result of a 'Mech design philosophy than an
- attraction to an individual weapon (I myself love the Large Pulse
- Laser, especially in a quad mount on Warharks.)
