It's not personal preference, the BNC-3M is flat-out superior.
First of all, the Awesome is oversized for its tonnage, so it soaks more damage than it can handle and is easily dealt with. Its arms don't block that much, and ever since the hitbox pass, its sides pop very easily so you're quickly disarmed. Its hardpoints are mounted low, which forces you to expose your mech fully to utilize them. Considering the size of this 'Mech, this only reduces your survivability further, especially during static stand-offs. As I already said, it's hardpoints are also mounted far apart. There'll often be times when you'll be hitting stuff to your left and right because there isn't enough clearance. Yes, it's mobile and yes it's torso twist feels nicer, but those are only one of the few things going on fir the AWS.
The BNC-3M is not oversized for its tonnage. It has completely dispensable gorilla arms that block tons of damage. It's hardpoints are closely packed and 6 of them are extremely high mounted(shoulders). It can twist as fast as a STD300 Awesome with a STD350 engine and run almost as fast. It has no apparent weaknesses, except for a slightly oversized CT hitbox.
There is literally nothing going on for the AWS except for its quirks, which matter little because of its fragility.
Hm kinda good points but...
Awesome oversized I never understood.Yes I know it is oversized for BT lore but not so much in this game compared to bunch of mediums I mean AWS still have some armor to back up its size.
He is wide yes not wider than atlas and barely wider than Banshee.(AWS have wider arms torso is same) look at it.And he is not tall that much not even close.
His arms doesnt block much? I didnt piloted all mechs but AWS so far feels very very good in that department .
Hard point mounted low? Let me explain U. While yes arms feels lowish when U look at it but its all perception and point of viev how far are ur hard points from ur cockpit that is what U need to look for my AWS is double better than Orion Atlas Cataphract arms and few more respectivly and honestly I rarely hit obstacles IMO my SHD hits tham more with arms than my AWS.BNC 3M is better coz no weapons in arms if there would be with BNC u would hit more obstacles than with AWS.
AWS cockpit is not far from its lowest arm weapon hardpoint so U me and every1 will not have that bad suces in hiting what U want with all weapons thou yes better to go on sides than on hills with Awesome(unless LRM boat tag in head is beasty) compared to Banshe.Even thou Awesome is somewhat wide goin on sides is good if U know how to shield and he is not tall that much so U have more obstacles to shield U fully.
And U can not convice me that awesome arms doesnt shield my experience doesnt alow that.
IDK maybe I am so so wrong but for some magical reason my Atlas can not tank efectivly like my Awesome can.
In theory Atlas can take much more dmg but in practice I can not achive it not in my game style atlas is so much slower in twisting than my awesome and that leads to loosing sides faster and dealing dmg slower.
Eventualy I bought BNC 3M so far it is very good I use this
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a02593467b06ff7 for now and I had good succes inj 1st few matches I use comand console for testing now and it feels good.but later I might dicth it out coz 3 tons are 3 tons.
I do appreciate very much that U informed me with info on torso twisting for me that really is selling point I can not argue that banshee is more durable.
