"Almost." replied Tetsuo. "ER PPC, ER Medium Laser, Streak SRM-6, and Medium Pulse Laser. With this mix, I can open the engagement at a reasonable distance, and then use my speed and jump capabilty to keep the range open as best I can. Normally, if they are faster than I am, I would wait on the enemy to enter normal PPC range before firing. That way, when they retreat, I have range on them longer than they expect me to. In general, I favour long to medium range engagements in this mech. If my opponent is better configured for long range operations, then naturally I will close, and try to get inside their optimum operational range." The tactics were fairly elementary, delivered in an instructional tone of voice.<br/><br/>As they entered the simulator area, Tetsuo slowed slightly, looking around for any group that might be the Dark Angels. "Do you know who leads this group? What they look like?" he asked.
