Well, either there's an overwhelming consensus, and you can point me to examples, or not, and it's just an opinion. The difference is quite important, as you presented it as a fact in your rebuttal of Floris' claim that your tank was over powered, you see. It's no point of reference. If you really want to push that line of thought, you're going to have to show the results of fields tests on 17 pounders and 88's mounted on walking chassis. How does having to handle the recoil from two 88's effect the german vehicle? How does the more compact frame of the Allied tank compare to the German tank? How does the 17 pounder having a 360 degree firing arc compare to the 88's having a 0 degree firing arc? What ammo are the two weapons firing? How does being set in an alternative time line, where both weapons have had an additional 2 years of development or neglect effect the two weapons? I don't think I cited you as saying that. I'm using that term. I assumed that as you argued with Floris' assertion that your unit was "too strong", that you were disagreeing with his conclusion. If, instead, you agree with me that it is over-powered, then of course we have no disagreement there, and it only leaves me wondering why you'd create something you know to be over-powered?

Major Mishap said: The general concensus of opinion is that mechs with large twin weapon only really fire one at a time or there is a +1/+2 bonus to a single weapon, That's an interesting conclusion. Do you have the link for that reference? Also MM, I'm not sure arguing from a position of reality, with regards the 17 pounder vs the 88, has much merit in a discussion about anything other than a real world comparison of those two weapons. I'm sure you don't need telling that Tiger tanks didnt actually walk, either! And one final point: Major Mishap said: This walker has its drawbacks as metioned in the text I'm not seeing any draw backs? I'm seeing that you acknowledge that it CAN fire every round, with only two less dice than a Ludwig and a Lothar combined, due to reload being only a single action, but no draw-backs? You do say that it can't shoot+shoot after the first round very easily, but as your argument for why your Ludolf isn't over-powered hinges on your suggestion that in Dust Tactics, double the dice is not double the opportunity, that seems a moot point also.
