Performance Review

The first-generation E.M.S. AM-70 is a (relatively) inexpensive weapons platform, both in initial costs and regular upkeep. It's also easy to handle, and packs some really handy jump boosters, making it mobile enough for getting to sniping and ambush positions.

However, many flaws are immediately noticeable. It lacks protection and you'll likely be shot out if you don't have some armor yourself. It's not fast, so you can't dodge attacks or retreat. As history serves, it's much better with extra radar or optics, but the base model lacks those, so it will be rated without them. (...)

History
Designed: 2031-2035
Produced: 2037-2070+
No. Built: ~2,800
Unit Cost (Prod. 2037): $11.5 million (2037); ~$1.2 million (2060)

The EASTERN MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AM-70 (formerly designated To-70) was designed as a multipurpose weapons platform - it could bring heavy firepower to knife-fighting range, or hidden in unsuspected, difficult-to-reach locations. Due to the lack of protection for the pilot, it was mostly relegated to the latter role, and radar-equipped models excelled in anti-air defense.

Initially, it was only offered to militaries and permitted private owners. However, by the mid-40s, early versions of the AM-70 were considered primitive by militaries, and both new and used units found their way into the combat sports scene. E.M.S. offered a slave AI refit for AM-70's, but the modification was met with mixed reviews.

AM-70 units and spare parts continued to be produced into the second half of the 21st Century. Near the program's end-of-life, AM-70s were used as exploration and light utility machines. Most of these had their rocket engines removed to reduce costs.

ARMAMENT
Standard Close-Range (Prod. 2037)

[Primary Armament] 2x 40mm Gatling Gun
Common general-purpose large-caliber rotary autocannon, more damaging than its 30mm counterparts. Based on Lost Planet - VS Gatling Gun.

[Secondary Armament] 6x 125mm Anti-Tank Missile
Short-range anti-armor missile that can be launched with or without a lock. Based on Armored Core 3 - MWM-MM16/1.

Bonus for the players that made it! ~ making missiles with optional lock
1. Install missiles on detachers (important). Don't change any AG settings yet.
2. Lock onto a target and take note of the missile launch order.
3. Apply activationGroup on detachers: SelectedWeapon = NAME & ammo(NAME) = ORDER & FireWeapons where NAME is weapon name and ORDER is the amount of ammo left when this missile is next.

Why this code? Exactly the same launch timing as firingDelay, without having to copy timing values.
