The AC2 serves to purposes. Firstly, it is a long range crit seeker. The "Long range" is key here, as it has the best medium range in Introtech (16), as well as a fairly generous short range (4-8 hexes). Meaning that in most long range engagements. You're on +2 while the opponent is at a +4, if he can hit you at all. The Mauler, being a long ranged fighter, punches holes with the ER Larges, sandblasts with the LRM's, before going for internal shots with a high volume of AC2 fire. Yes, it sucks ass as close range, but it's a Drac mech, you have plenty of close range line holders to supplement it.
Which brings me to the second point: the AC/2 has this bizarre effect where it absolutely enrages anyone who gets hit with it. The BB's seem to have a Chinese water torture effect where the constant plinking damage drives the other player crazy, and causes the mech/vee in question to focus down the AC2 mech, which can be useful if they fall for the bait and charge in. So if you're group consists of Princess and yourself, it's gonna suck.
