Possibly have a fast turn rate as well as a fast twist rate, and a large twist arc as well. Give it advantages to offset the lack of the one big light advantage: speed.
Though that lack of that advantage would be a huge disadvantage for the chassis.

Goes back to the whole why didn't they balance and solidify the base 3025 tech before monkeying around with future tech? And the bloody yo-yo now will never end. In fact once clan tech hits, I expect it to get REAL ugly.

Expect the stock Hunchback IIC to be an incredibly ugly mech to face...
For about fourteen seconds (the paired Ultra 20s should be able to run through the 2 tons of ammo the stock mech comes equipped with in that time, assuming no jams). Though expect an shutdown from overheat in six seconds (3 salvos) due to the heat cap of 54.
Still, that's 120 damage before shutdown, 280 points total... It'll crack anything but an Atlas in six seconds.
Thing is though, the light armor on the stock mech ( 36 points on the CT after MWO's doubling) means that a Hexaped Stalker or big LRM boat (or anything else with a hefty alpha, for that matter) is going to crush it like a tin can with a single salvo. Even shoving the armor from the arms onto the torsos isn't going to make it much more survivable.
So that mech is basically going to be exactly what it is in TT, a suicide ride. Get close, burn ammo, pray you kill something before you get cored.

A niche mech but an awesome niche.
April 1 would be a good release date.
