Idea thread for improving C-class awesomeness

Iimited view, temporary huge defence boost from forward Damage while still being compromisable from all other directions with flanking or splash damage, also makes the C class far more tactically necessary for pushing forward and promoting teamwork)
Not only would a mech like this promote teamwork, it would also take away the huge mobility penalty of useless turrent mode. And it would also make C mechs more useable but frankly, turrent mode is really out of place in this game IMO.
What do my fellow Hawkenites think? :3

As much as I like the idea of a deployable riot shield (and to be honest that's what I thought it was when I first saw screenshots of the C-class mechs, and I did think: 'Kewl!') I think the C-class Turret mode is here to stay. *slightly sad face*
To counter the complete lack of all useful mobility in Turret mode I'd say that anything short of near invulnerability to damage from the forward arc isn't going to make the mode worthwhile. I would say that if this did happen then Turret mode would need to be completely static (sans rotation) and perhaps require a longer time to un/deploy. Maybe even allow other mechs to step up a little behind a bunkered C-class to allow them to fire over it cleanly. Make it a true deployable fortification.
Edit: Typos.

Hmm...
What if they added a heavy cannon on the C mech's back that can only be fired in turrent mode that temporarily replaces the mechs secondary?
It would make it useful as a mobile artillery platform to bombard place with a mid power large AOE shell that can only be fired every minute, or a rail gun to counter snipers an do ranged damage at the expense of being a sitting duck cqc wise? " scratches chin"
