The JagerMech has a prestigious heritage and a stable if somewhat
antiquated, design. As a long-range fire-support Mech, it rarely closes with
its enemies, preferring to remain at long distances firing its Ultra Light
Autocannons.
Commanders often exploit a crushing barrage of JagerMech autocannon fire
to open the door for lighter, nimbler Mechs or rip open a seam on the
battlefield in a concentrated heavy weight melee. Rarely outgunned and
vulnerable principally, when caught off guard in a face-to-face
assault, the JagerMech is also a defensive marksman against helicopter
attack. It fast-firing weapons change targets quickly and easily, making it
effective against light vehicle swarms.
When deployed without good short-range fire support, however, the
JagerMech can be reduced to a nonentity on the battlefield. If deployed
alone, it serves commanders best when kept well behind the lines.
