Are you sure your TAG really wants to deal with those 3 pts thingies that annoy hackers to no end? :) Yes, I do know that pilot being hacker won't make that matter most of the time as opposed to hacker TAG proper, but still...
In addition, I'm sure you don't want a TAG that's vulnerable to enemy Killer Hackers. In some metas, that would make it downright unplayable. I'm curious if CB thinks Yu Jing is a good candidate for a light TAG. Fluff wise, TAGs with smaller silhouettes are either extremely high tech (PanO, Combined Army) or extremely outdated/retrofitted tech (Nomads, Mercs.) Yu Jing doesn't really fall into that mode of outdated technology, and their best stuff Yan Huo, Hac Tao, Su Jian all get the Heavy Infantry label. So I guess we'd need to see the fluff evolved, to help describe to us why Yu Jing feels a new TAG model is necessary, rather than building another Heavy Infantry to fill the same tactical role (which is certainly what the current fluff implies... Yu Jing likes to solve their problems with Heavy Infantry.)
I recall Bostria saying that the Blue Wolfs were just a squadron of Guijia, not a unique chasis or loadout of TAGs.
If thats the case then its likely the white banner will be the sectorial with access to the Guijia, not the immortal army. Which makes sense since the IA should be heavily heavy infantry focused.
The Guija becomes better in certain missions. Capture & Protect, Looting & Sabotage, any gunfighting mission, or any zone control mission are all fine scenarios for using the Guija. Sectorials also really help TAG viability too, because the ability to link line troopers for more gunfighting presence helps give Order fuel to TAGs while providing them with a good backline gunfighting anchor.
I'd honestly rather Pan'O have that. Really good specialist (battlefield role wise.) TAGs are something i doubt Yu Jing would ever get. That said. A more focused TAG on anti amour options would be nice. Smaller silhouette with panzerfausts/ blitzens, HMG and maybe limited camo with mimetism to represent the ambush abilities. But most roles described feel like they're already being filled by our HI.
So, in other words, an Uhlan :p The Guijia is plenty good for YJ, there's really no need for a specialized TAG with all the bonkers HI we have access to.
Well yeah. I never said i wanted it. But if there was one. That's how i would envision it. Personally.... I'd just nuke TAGs with a Yan Huo HMC. Hence my comment about everything being filled by HI.
I think a TAG or HI with Holoprojector would be pretty cool, especially since that seems to be one of ISS's strengths, but for internal balance reasons it would probably be better to not give ISS another S2 model with Holoprojector, so the TAG might be better.
I don't have the full artwork, but there's this old page from one of the first rulebooks Here you clearly see the label of Blue Wolf on a TAG in sight of the Kriza Boracs, although now those guys are much bigger and I don't have a clear photo of the old TAG Blue Wolf. I thought I recalled hearing something to the effect that they were a unit ditched in playtesting because it was deemed OP, a TAG with Fury and If rumored right, a HRMC.
