Right now given that HG doesn't have any real grounds to come after BT ever again, the only thing that is keeping LAMs from being messed with right now per the current BT line developer is the aerospace rules themselves, like he wants to completely redo them as they are uniquely dogshit for a lot of reasons.
The established centuries of lore made them dogshit, for sure, but considering their origins as Macross veritech where they were awesome there, I'd love to see them made good.
LAMs themselves are really good units, but they cost so much BV that you can get the same thing by just taking a bunch of fast hovertanks or a bunch of 7/11/7 mechs. The thing is right now CGL doesn't really want to do anything with LAMs until they go and redo the aerospace rules, which the aerospace rules themselves are really bad, sorta...
LAMs are brutal for back-shotting everything in BattleTech Advanced. Ton for ton, a bunch of medium LAMs can utterly obliterate units twice their size and quickly, but if one of them loses their evasion counters for any number of reasons, it's smoked pretty much instantly. High risk, high reward.
