If given the choice between piloting this thing or getting into Battle Armor against an Assault Mech, most pilots will take the Battle Armor, or even just a fucking rifle and a ladder and see if they get lucky, rather than get inside this 95-ton hunk of shit. This thing may be one of the worst mechs ever created in it's weight class, and maybe even in the fiction of BattleTech in general.
The Banshee is a Assault 'Mech from BattleTech known for doing one thing, and one thing only sucking.
