With the varied weapons you don't have Target Locks? If this is going against CSM, then I'd go all FireKnife or Helios, but not mixed weps from suit to suit.

And with all the drones the unit will be caught in h2h by Turn 3, every time, if not by 2 most of the time. It's simply too big to maneuver. I'd lose all the GDs, at least.

'Nades? Really?

I'd take out the two Seekers for SMS. Over 5 turns, the SMS will pour out more fire power than 2, one shot, Seekers. Decoy Launchers were okay in 4e, not so much in 5e. Add Flechettes. **

I'd absolutely skip Shield Gens. Cover Saves are aplenty, and those LasCan/Instant Death hits will be assigned to drones anyway, yes? I'd go with MT or Target Lock.

** Flechettes will be better considering the assaultiness of CSM, much more than Seekers.
