So i bought the quickdraw IV4 a long time ago, because it interested me. ive never had any success with it, and im assuming that it isnt that great of a mech.

Am i just not a good IV4 pilot or is the mech bad?

If the mech is bad, may i suggest a rebuild, if possible?

Just swap the AC and the Missile hardpoints, so the missiles are in the arms and the ACs are in the side torsos. i dont think that this will make the mech OP, i just think that it would make it a little more playable.

Yep. It's bad. Really quite terrible, in fact.

IMHO it's Pretty Baby/La Malinche levels of bad. But at least the Pretty Baby is fun.

And at least the La Malinche is still a Banshee.

IV-Four is awful.

Probably the most positive thing that you can say about the IV-Four is that it sports interesting livery.

the only working setup



I use this in the IV-4,its really hit or miss mech,best part of it is the sustained dps,but the arm mounts are so far away from each other that it really does not matter,most of the time you are shooting with only one AC5 behind a corner anyway.It needs more missile hardpoints and torso twist,atleast then it would be a reasonably decent brawler.

This used to work before the quirkening v.2 hit

i actually got my best IV-game in that setup,950:ish damage.

AC20-capability would instantly make it better,hell it would rival current Victors even,but thats haram for PGI,because they just hate QKD,the scaling is wrong,initial quirks were a joke etc.
