Here's what I said in the other thread:
For the most part, arch_angel already covered most of it. I'll just add a bit more.
There's quite simply no way to make a competent human opponent eat grenades from a kneeling biped without heavily punishing you in return for even just attempting it. The closest you can get to a back-cannon for bipeds is something like a 75MT+RM3 missile combo. So maybe try that. But if you're hellbent on using the 98G, then try out some heavy quads like the quad A2.
CR-B83TP and AO9-LEMUR2 are generally frowned upon due to being significantly better than most parts in their class (broken). But that isn't really what's wrong with the AC.
The AC struggles because it can't bring its weapons (the MGs) to their effective range due to how slow it is. M2 being crap in LR doesn't help either. And without any hangers, you're just bound to run out of ammo. Maybe try rifles or bazookas instead.
Quote:Frankly, it's just not good at all when up against actual people. The 98G can't be used without taking punishment as well. And the AC, even with TP and OB, just can't get in close enough to do any real damage with the dual M2s. And even if you manage to deal some damage with it, there just isn't enough ammo to finish the job.
