I've used the Turkina in this configuration a few times and I've always been somewhat dissapointed with it. The main thing I don't get about this mech is this: with as good as clan laser weapons are (in addition to their better heat dissapation ability), why does this mech carry 2 a/cs AND 2 big missle launchers? The most devastating clan mechs in the game in my opinion are ones like the Daishi A and Masakari C that pack nothing but powerful clan lasers and PPCs (and the heat sinks to use them all) that can hit people from 3/4 of the map away and hit hard. I just feel this Turkina has a bad choice of weapons and doesn't do the damage I would expect from a 95 ton clan mech. In response to those of you who defend this mech with "well its good for trying to get critical hits," I say: A mech of this weight is for destroying the other mechs pure and simple, not a stupid narrow mission like sniping for critical hits. The critical hitting abilities of autocannons and missle lauchers, do not, I repeat, do not make up for the damage, range, and efficiency of clan energy weapons. Thats why you don't see them on nearly all the best designs...
Hell, a $600,000 SRM/LRM Carrier is probably the best critical seeker out there, use that not your $21 million mech. |

A crit seeking sniper, XL engine mechs be warned !
After a couple of can opener shots from the ERPPCs, expect to see the crits coming. |

If your mech is 'impervious' to critical hits, this beast will do its damnest to prove that wrong. The LRMs and LBX (especially with cluster rounds) will wear away the armor gradually, while the PPCs will rip big damn holes in whatever is left.
The armor protection is somewhere between 'Impressive' and 'HOLY $&#^%&& !!', but achives that without using Ferro Fibrous armor.
While slow, the jump jets give this beast a bit more maneuverablitiy in built up terrain. This thing isnt meant to close in fast with targets, though, so the overall speed is somewhat slow.
A good assault design, and potentially usefull for defense missions as well. It uses quite a bit of ammo, though, so its an Ammo Addict. |

A powerful front line mech with incredible crit seeking ability. Enemies with XL engines beware! |

Solid assault design; use the PPCs to punch holes in armor, and LRMs and cluster rounds to search for critical hits. It's somewhat ammo dependent, but there is plenty to get you through a couple of skirmishesthe ERPPCs provide respectable firepower if the ammo runs dry. As a good Jade Falcon, I like the inclusion of Jump Jets too, although I'd like 'em better if they were pod mounted. |
