Several more well placed shots tear through the drive wheels and finally sever the tread belt, the APC throws a track and belches black smoke as it gets stuck in mud. It would probably take several hours and a dedicated recovery vehicle to get it back on dry ground and replace the tread.
The Huginn battle suit is so much more than a large suit of Power Armor, as some mech-jocks or astral troopers are inclined to say. No one in a suit of powered armor could run as fast as a soldier in a Huginn. No one in powered armor could take as much damage or carry as much equipment as they could in a Huginn.
On top of all of that, the battle suit had stealth capabilities and the capacity to support much larger weaponry.
Of course, there were trade-offs. A battle suit wasn't going to be much use in the cramped corridors on a star cruiser or in a tunnel deep within an asteroid base and the cost and maintenance requirements were significant. You could armor an entire regiment in power armor for the cost of a squadron of battle suits, to nothing of the maintenance requirements.
Still, a single man could do a lot of damage with a battle suit, and that was worth more than the mere credit price.
Your last shot sinks into the steel skin of the transport and an alert pops up on your HUD.
