SAND: Raiders of Sophie Experimental 80 mm Railgun

Experimental 80 mm Railgun Best Use, Timing, And Extraction Value

The unarmored version makes more sense when the build wants experimental railgun pressure without the extra protection of the armored shell. That trade only works when 80 mm shells are already covered and the Trampler can avoid taking too much punishment while lining up shots. If the run is shell-starved or likely to brawl in bad positions, this mount becomes hard to justify.

Experimental 80 mm Railgun Timing, Best Use, And Limits

Experimental 80 mm Railgun Best Use

It pays off when the Trampler can keep 80 mm shells ready, line up clean shots, and avoid wasting the mount on a route that never lets it fire well.
