TOO SLOW for starters, and why does it have an IC engine?

So...it is fairly cheap for the firepower. I could see it maybe as a mobile gun turret for a Castle Brian, but that would make more sense with a fusion engine for logistics. It could benefit from a defensive umbrella instead of the armor (AMS/ECM), or even reactive armor, since LRMs/Arty would be my first go to weapon to remove this turret.

Like most of these super heavy designs there needs to be a fluff reason for building them, for example a civilian 200 ton earth mover factory rebuilt to produce a combat vehicle from an existing chassis. If this is meant to be a purpose built field vehicle for anything past a turret it is lacking.

the mobile gun turret makes sense. when u build it somewhere near the place where it is supposed to be dug-in(better: cast in concrete) it does not need a fusion engine.
it would roll out of the factory, move to its final destination and then never move again. the ICE-engine would either be surplus, or it would be taken out and fit into the next rolling turret for transportation.
where the engine was there would be a small 25-point fusion engine for powering the turret and ammo-feeding mechanisms. the remaining space could be used for a double crew to live in.
of course the turret would ideally be dug in above a tunnel for ammo supply and next to some sort of AMS.

Hey, I was just wondering when ATN would come around and yank our chains with yet another lazy, unimaginative, impractical, 200-ton rehash of every other design he's posted on here. But now... now I can sleep well tonight.
