Sure; but their position was that the Victor was too maneuverable for its tonnage/weight class - and having fought them, I find that reasonable. Going from a positive modifier to a large negative modifier seems extreme, but they may be thinking that it'll be preferable from a PR standpoint to err on the side of nerf-dom and re-buff the 'mech than to need to nerf it twice if they're too conservative.

Okay, I think we are more or less on the same page.

=) Like I said, I don't have a dog in this fight - I just want PGI to get useful, constructive feedback. =)

Uhm... Its got jumpjets and an actuated ballistic arm.

So what if its got equal torso pitch as an atlas, it's legs turn faster which (if you can drive) equated to a faster full rotation speed than an atlas.

This thread seems to state the obvious?

HAHAHAH I'm thinking about the future.... with a same PGI behavior on some CLAN mechs!!!! BUAHAHHAHAHAHAAH

Ballistic arm doesn't move very far. Just accept it, -10% is more fair then -20%.

Legs turns faster than Atlas because its 20t lighter, all mechs follow the same rule: leg turn speed is directly proportional to tonnage and engine rating and no other factors (like JJ and hardpoints)... so yeah sorry for stating the obvious.

Except the leg turn speed was also nerfed...or did you all miss that?

Making Assaults more sluggish makes lights way too hard to track.  Let's avoid that.

We wouldn't want to impact all of those light hunting assaults now would we? I have little to no sympathy for an assault having trouble with lights. They should be sluggish and need protection from mechs that can run between their legs.
