Turrets (with Compacts returning to 2-sp Tu. maximum), to give Subs a bit more flexibility in design.
On that: I don't agree with your assessment of the _Micro-Mouse_ -- the HD ammo means an average of 4.5 damage per shot; given the armor, the L & R are penetrated about the 3rd or 4th shot, the B 4th or 5th. That should be fast enough to keep the players engaged (excuse the pun).

Was I off by one? Cripes, this has just not been my week. I stand corrected.
Those numbers are better, yeah...I'd still be leery, if only because of the nose mount. Given that it's named "Micro Mouse (road)", somehow I get the feeling it's meant for highway battles, and I'm speaking from the perspective of arena battles...where it's a lot harder to get a quality shot against the same side of the same vehicle turn in and turn out.
