    Analysis
    No other General Purpose ExoFrame can match the Ground Assault E-Frame's raw firepower, or its ability to expend ordinance quickly. Complete reliance on rapid-fire heavy projectile weapons, however, means that the possibility of exausting available ammunition during a battle is often of concern to the pilot. As the name suggests, because of the Ground Assault E-Frame's design it is at a disadvantage to most any other General Purpose ExoFrame when it comes to flight speed and manueverability, especially in an atmosphere. These factors combine to make the Ground Assault E-Frame inadvisable for all except experienced exopilots with steady nerves.
