The CT of the Mauler is insanely easy to hit as evidently most all shots go there.
In most other mechs my ST's are pretty beat up/gone before the CT goes, but not on the Mauler. While one could make the argument that this makes the Mauler XL friendly it doesn't really matter as it can only go up to 325 size anyway. The added speed (if any) doesn't make up for the added vulnerability.
I try to twist, I do, but as the twist is slow and limited in angle the CT often takes most of the damage anyway.
As can be seen in the images the damage on the rest of the mech is spread out pretty evenly, but obviously the CT has received a lot more.
So, I'd like the CT of the Mauler to get an armour quirk, maybe +15 would be a good number.
It was rumoured that the Mauler should be a pretty tanky mech, but as it stands I don't think it is... +15 CT armour would likely make it a good deal better though.
OR, the engine cap could be increased so that running an XL is actually worth it.
