Irrelevant, they are easily obstructed by the same obstacles you use a walker to defeat, you want them on the back in turrets with at least 180 degrees traverse, and the tail as a weakpoint is a structural issue not an armor one.

Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - kawaiiChiimera - 05-25-2015 Someone should totally write an Avali vs Humans fanfic like Edge of Tomorrow. But with less time travel.

RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Surge - 05-25-2015 You know even if they don't just sit in space and throw drones at us until we're all dead a handful of orbital railgun strikes could easily do extinction levels of damage.
