Both the Victor 9S and 9B are exactly the same except the 9S gives up a ballistic hard point for a two tubed missile hard point. How is this a fair exchange on an 80 ton assault?

Instead of having three missile hard points with 10, 5 and 2 tube sizes. I suggest you guys get rid of the 2 tube size and divide the 10 tube size in half. That way we end up with three 5 tube missile hard points. I believe with this setup players can make better LRM and SRM builds that take advantage of the even missile grouping. I think this will make it much easier to make use of the third missile hard point and further differentiate the two variants.

it seemed like PGI was being very specific with missile tube sizes at first, then later seemed to release all tubes with a minimum 6 to 10 count

it would be nice if they just upped all tubes less than 6 to a minimum of 10 so tubes were more flexible - whats the point of having a single or double tube?

every single clan mech released has a minimum of 15 tubes on all missile slots, except for the Summoner-B which has 2 dual 10-tube arms
