Or the SHD-2H(C) ... or the SHD-5M ... or WVR-7K ... or the Golden Boy ... or the KTC-18(C) ... or next to any other medium mech ... I would even bet on a Cicada.

Well, I'm pointing out in SMM, the GRF packs a Large LAser, 2 Mediums, and LRM5 and and 16 SHS. Sounds pretty similar to the "SIBlues" LL, 1 Ml, 1 SL, LRM5 and 15 SHS, doesn't it?

And the 1S has better twist range by 5% I believe, is 18 kph faster, has 16 pts more armor and 1 more JJ.

So, essentially, offhand, it is a direct downgrade to the GRF-1S in ALL ways.

Yeah a new Medium !

But nobody wants to play medium Mechs !

And with the standard setup (that everybody uses) of this Mech -> 3 x Med Laser + 2 SRM6 + Artemis you want harm anybody on large maps like Alpine and Tourmaline and so on...

THE DAMN THING IS ENORMOUS!

It's taller than a Catephract, and almost the height of an Atlas.

Oh god please be an exaggeration. This thing being bigger than somewhere in the mid-range of the mediums will LITERALLY make it USELESS.

Also, can anyone confirm the height of this thing?

Except that it is also 10 tonnes lighter. Which actually matters a great deal in stock matches
