Yeah, they’re looking at that left arm as basically ablative armor. They’re planning on using aggressive torso twisting to shield the torso as best they can and using the jump jets to avoid taking hits at all when they can.happy to see you back writing this. the sergeants opinion is noted. though you do get more ability to fire behind you with the MLasers in the arm. ability to aim them higher and lower too. but you do have that right arm for that so having a dedicated shield arm is an argument.
edit: with the doctrine as it seems to be going it might be that they would prefer you lose an arm and withdraw than lose the arm and try and get stuck in with a couple medium lasers. this is a medium that costs as much as an assault if I am remembering right.
The Third Royals are basically the best-of-the-best in the Commonwealth and their commander is no joke either, so they’re being pretty smart about their planning.
