Well, so long as the Jackal doesn't take too many hits it should be fine, doesn't exactly carry a lot of armor to begin with. The biggest weakness of the Jackal's design that I see (and a weakness I think a lot of our frames would share) is that they would be vulnerable to a ground attack aircraft, or whatever the equivalent of that would be in terms of a CVF. Not many of our frames have anything that resembles a dedicated anti-air weapon.

I think it might make for interesting story if at some point our team is ambushed by guys with flying CVFs equipped with guided anti-ground missiles to see how our characters would handle it (if they even can).
