>If you're only over heat by 2 for each round of stationary firing you only begin to start suffering gunnery penalties after 4 full rounds of double ERLL fire. That means you've dropped a potential 64 points of damage up to 19 hexes away (more conservatively, medium range is 14).
IF you even have a shot!
The problem with sniping is your enemy is going to try to move up behind cover as much as possible.
Best case is you get a good vantage point from move on, and even then you're looking at a +2 for your mid-range, or +4 for long IF anything has even gotten into those ranges.
Still, it's not just being a 20 Heat Dual ER Large sniper that makes me hate the BJ-2, it's that this is coupled with being a Streak 2 boat.
Lasers don't have Minimum Range like the smaller Autocannons, so when are you going to USE those Streaks?
You are going to be into the Red with just the Lasers, and your Streaks will what, average a single one?!

>streaks never lost inferno ability.
And even with Infernos, it's a lot weight tied up in a secondary weapon system for a niche use and a potential automatic shutdown from the extra +2 Heat for every Inferno SRM that goes up.
At that point you can just go with twin SRM 4s, an extra ton of Inferno SRMs to add to your normal, AND still end up with an extra ton to play around with!
