Good criticism! I've often thought of a GG instead of an MG - the
toughness is nearly the same, and the FP is only about 1/3 less. Trouble
is, the MG is mainly for attracting enemy attention away from the more
harmful, but more vulnerable units.
As for 4 BFs vs 5... the "spread hits" effect means that with 5 BFs, 16
hits are required before one dies, as opposed to 13... I also like
having enough transport for an optimised Big Gunz mob along with 'em.
Still, an extra 200 pts or so would be most useful.
