In game, it would be useful to create a more 'recon' element to some British Forces maps against entrenched MEC positions. Using the same system as the Gunship rockets (Laser guided mode), it could be accurately used to take out MEC heavy armour from behind cover or using laser targeted mode using the laser designator simulating a dismounted targeting sight.
Light armour, big firepower, respawn time between an APC and tank. Any tank (or even APC with a decent jump on it) would make mincemeat of it, but if it were to act in the way a recon force should; hiding and firing from behind cover, it would be a potentially devastating tool.
This could be used nicely as an asymettrical balance unit; I'm imagining a desert map with MEC forces using gunships and T90's from an entrenched position and British as a recon element using Scimitars and one or two Strikers to quickly whizz around and perform hit and runs on the MEC.
EDIT:
Ohh, what do we have here...
