The main compensation that walkers get is the extra firepower they can
haul
around because they don't have to bother turreting anything.  When
you're a
class 5 walker and you're carrying a pair of fire-linked MDC-5's against
only one for everything else your size, or a class 7 carrying three of
them
with independent targetting capability for only barely more signature
penalty, the extra cost and signature penalties don't necessarily look
_quite_ as bad.
