If all your missiles hit. :P<br/><br/>Honestly, the Awesome isn't feared because of its size (It's 'light' for an Assault chassis), or because of its appearance (Brick on brick-like-legs with bricky arms and big radiator vanes for shoulders) But because the only way you can reliably reduce its damage output is by pounding through its 15.5 tons (max for its chassis) of armour and hoping you hit one of the PPCs, or damage the engine enough to force a mission-kill.<br/><br/>The fact that its range is only exceeded by LRMs, Autocannon 2's, Gauss Rifles, and the 'large' Family of ER weapons, which are comparatively uncommon means that its well-earned reputation of being a sniper's dream, combined with the staying power to make most anything lighter than it to back off or risk being ruined by a near-constant volley of PPC fire. (for example; Erich can alphastrike, while not moving, for 15 turns; roughly 150 seconds, before the heat buildup forces an automatic shutdown. 10 seconds after that, the Awesome will have dumped enough heat to restore power to all power draws, and he can resume firing all weapons for 14 more turns before shutting down again.)
