      UrbanMechs are designed in-universe for this, the abstract concept of getting lucky crits. It's the bottom-of-the-line cheapo option for outfits that can't afford anything better, but its saving grace is that it has a powerful weapon that can pose a threat in an ambush. It isn't the small laser in this video though.

      I'm such a monster for trying to teach someone how to play using a mech with good mobility and "map friendly" jumpjets so he could more easily adapt to the battlegrid and reposition in case of mistakes, that had a decent array of weapons with almost no one-shot capability, every single weapon being low damage but easy to land hits with, only exception being the pulse large laser (what are the chances of a long range large laser shot to the head criting the cockpit? Duh).
      Add to that Clanner XL engine survivability, low heat generation and C.A.S.E. in case of ammo crit. A survivalist novice friendly brawler perfect for learning the ABCs before jumping into a real battle with Inner Sphere lances.

    In my Dark Heresy group, we had a cleric that had Fate points pouring out of his ass. At one point, he had to travel across an exposed walkway with a Praetorian servitor covering it with heavy machinegun fire. He had a talent called Grace or something similar that allowed him to regain a Fate point on a d10 roll of 8, 9, or 10. For all the damage taken, he spent Fate to mitigate damage by d5, rolled max each time, and regained each Fate point. He took it as a sign he was the Emperor's chosen.

    During the last BT game I played the second SRM of the first opening salvo crit my full AC ammo in my hatchetmans chest and wrote it as a total loss.
    An investigation of the maintenance crew was conducted and those associated have been sacked.

    This reminds me of a custom made 55 tonner a friend of mine made. It didn't seem like much compared to the 100 tonners I just faced. Little did I know that it was packing an Ultra AC/20...

    That's how I felt when I was doing a practice game against an Awesome in my Mad Cat. The Awesome rolled a 12 to hit me in the Head, tore away the armor and did internal damage, thus rolled a Critical Hit... It was a 12 as well and instantly blew the Head off my 'Mech. (Rolling a 12 in determining critical hits means the Arm/Leg/Head is instantly destroyed while CT/RT/LT takes three critical hits)

    Ok. I have Battletech on PC and I ran games with the Excellent Murder Crab (KGC-0001) and I kept hearing about the Urbans and even noticed the joke of an urban right in the beginning of the game.
    So later I went to the skirmish and made a team of all AC20 Urban's vs an assault lance.
    Tell me again how this game is fair and balanced? The Urbans only lost two weapons and took minor damage...
    The enemy lance?...
    What lance?...

    This will sound dumb but I did it because I didn't want them to show up but for a second and 5s are a little easier to see at a glance than 6s, because of that X shape. I also kind of got a kick out of implying it could have been worse, somehow.
