You have a point there. I've only played with SMLs once or twice, so
you'll have to excuse me for not being intimately familiar with them. 

Doesn't change the basics, though -- it still boils down to one turn of
intense fire and zoom away (if you can't survive the SML onslaught in
the
attack pass, how do you reckon you'd survive it in a "normal" battle?
Yes, hitting you is tad harder, but OTOH you're sticking around to
receive multiple shots)
