With an array of 10 Double Heat Sinks, the Prime can fire its ERPPCs nearly continuously, barely inching over the critical heat line. When caught in the open, pilots should torso twist away from the enemy in between ERPPC barrages to make best use of this Awesome's superior armor coverage. The large burst damage and long recharge time for the ERPPCs allow the Awesome pilot to slip in and out of cover and deal damage easily, though pilots should be aware of the Mech's sluggish acceleration and opt to circle in and out of cover rather than moving backwards and forwards with the throttle alone. The Awesome Prime carries a trio of ERPPCs as its main array of weapons, allowing the Mech to inflict serious damage out to 900m. It should be noted that the Awesome's weapons are mounted in a horizontal line spread across arms and side torsos making it more difficult to render an Awesome combat-ineffective, but this also means that the Awesome can be vulnerable to enemy fire before it can fire back due to the relatively low placement of its weapons. To be most effective and mitigate these problems, the Awesome should be piloted with cunning, maintaining maximum range when possible and utilising Guardian ECM and Passive Radar to remain hidden while punishing enemies from afar with sustained barrages, and treating it's superior armor as a tool to outlast counter-fire rather than as a battle-line juggernaut. Combined with a substandard weapon array compared to it's Assault class cousins, an over-confident Awesome pilot may find themselves hopelessly swarmed if caught flat-footed. The Awesome has a limited torso twist and somewhat poor maneuverability, leaving the Mech open to being easily flanked by fast vehicles. However, this is not without some weaknesses. Combined with specialized Ballistics or Missiles, and its good speed and armor, the Awesome makes for a rugged and adaptable Mech. The Awesome's firepower is usually based on a heavy reliance on Energy Weapons, backed up by large arrays of Heat Sinks to enable it to lay down continuous barrages with little worry for ammo depletion or heat buildup. However, it distinguishes itself with exceptional armor coverage, featuring a smaller than average profile for it's weight class and more armor than even some Clan Assault Mechs. ![]() The characteristics of the Awesome, with a lower price point and good speed for its weight class, may be better compared those of a Heavy Mech. The Awesome is a fast Inner Sphere Assault Mech with a focus on medium to long range combat.
