==Overview== <section begin=description/> The ''Stalker STK-M'', aka "''Misery''", features a first for the ''[[Stalker]]'' line: a ballistic [[Hardpoint]]. Combined with a generous number of energy hardpoints, the ''Misery'' is just as capable of unleashing punishing damage at long range with less heat build up. Like all [[Hero]] 'Mechs, the ''-M'' can only be purchased with {{MC}}. The ''-M'' provides the same 30% {{CB}} bonus that all Hero 'Mechs do. Unlike most Hero 'Mechs, it does not come with Dual Heat Sinks, an XL Engine, or even Endo-Steel. <section end=description/> ===Strengths=== The ''Misery'' focuses almost exclusively on direct fire weaponry, weapons which are emphasized on most ''Stalker'' loadouts. The addition of a single ballistic hardpoint gives the STK-M the option to use large ballistic weapons like the [[Gauss Rifle]] or [[Autocannon 20]] to mitigate some of the incredible heat buildup caused by most ''Stalker'' builds. Additionally, it has a 10% boost to both the turning rate and acceleration found on most ''Stalkers''. ===Weaknesses=== The ''Misery'' shares a few glaring weaknesses common to all ''Stalker'' models, terribly torso range and slow turn speed. It also has the fewest number of weapon hardpoints of any ''Stalker'', mostly at the cost of missile weapons. The single missile hardpoint in the right torso seems to almost be an after thought and will likely be unused in most configurations. The new ballistic hardpoint may also become a glaring weakness when [[Gauss Rifle]]s are installed there. The side torsos of ''Stalkers'' are notoriously easy to hit. Should a fragile and explosive [[Gauss Rifle]] be installed there, it will most assuredly become the primary target of a competent enemy. [[Atlas]] pilots are well familiar with this problem. {{Online Mech Lab}} {{Template:Hardpoints Table |selected=Assault Mechs }} {{Template:Chassis Comparison Table |selected=Assault Mechs }}
