In it's role as a second line support, this is excellent. You can stay about 100m behind the front line and lob missiles while throwing slugs between. You could add ERML's to the mix but I keep the SPL's to use exclusively under 180m in conjunction with the UAC. As long as you aren't in the middle of a knife fight, this can pump out decent damage and kills. I know the 5 pack launchers got nerfed, and while it spreads damage a bit too much now, the primary function of blinding and confusing remains unchanged. The lasers and RA armor can be swapped for probes and computers, if so desired.
