Urbie is one of few BattleTech mech designs that actually makes sense. Like 90% of mechs have some kind of flaw, in case of 70% mechs that isn't a flaw, but something absolutely retarded. That kinda makes sense in universe, because save from relatively small number of heroes basically everyone in BattleTech is a fucking gigantic moron that will eventually ruin whatever they are doing due arrogance and pure stupidity.

>Urbie worshipers forget that it's more of a Matilda II in 1955 than anything actually useful
It does one thing very well. It is cheap urban combat machine. Its slow as fuck, but still mobile thanks to jump jets. Most canonical variants of Urbie pack massive punch for its weight class. It is 30 ton trash can with legs and big gun and usually single small laser as secondary weapon.

Best part of card game version of that 80 ton light scout mech is its resource requirements, it needs politics to exist.

>inefficiently gunned,
It has massive firepower for it is weight class and cost.
