but not a -1 for it was changed to a anti infantry weapon now it is and can
be a indirect Titan hunter which is ****edup Why is it that the IMP *****
players get all the good stuff. Please tell me this for I hate the fact that
SM and Imp players get everything. And if you feel I wrong check all the
stats on all the armies before you write me back
