I don't really know how that would work out in PS2.
I agree about the BF2142 mechs...they were balanced pretty well. However the PS1 BFR's were just out of control. AA-AI-AV combinations all possible on a single 2-crew unit...and on SOME empires, the top AV gun worked efficiently on just about ANY target
