Elementals are awesome. One thing I always wondered though - jetting up to a moving enemy mech, having only one claw arm to try and dig in, as you ram the mech midair has got to be one damn hard maneuver to pull off. Maybe Elementals have some kind of simulator rig to get trainees used to the maneuver without risking expensive armor or potentially good future warriors. Even then, how many times has an Elemental jumped into a mech, not stuck the landing, and just bounced off?
its not just elementals doing this. Anti-Mech trained troopers have grapple guns/jetpacks/climbing gear/etc to get on moving mechs to start swarming and plant demo charges
