Hey, I'm glad the Highlander is in the game and that it has Jump-Jets but it jets too far and high. It's max jet is 28m vs a Raven's max of 25m. It jets over obstacles that other jump mechs can't making it overpowered. A 35t Raven moves about twice as fast as the 90t Highlander and the momentum of the Raven should make it jump farther and its lower mass should make it jump higher than the Highlander. I would like the Highlander's jets reduced to less meters than the Raven and it can't jump as high either. Thank you for your time. What do you guys think.

The RVN-4X's Jump Jets also weigh one-quarter as much as the HGNs' Jump Jets (0.5 tons per Jump Jet for the former, versus 2.0 tons per Jump Jet for the latter), and theoretically have a lower thrust output per Jump Jet.

That the jump height is similar for both 'Mechs when both are mounting the same number of Jump Jets (assuming both are mounting their maximum number of Jump Jets - five (5) for each) is to be expected, and would generally qualify as "working as intended".

JJ's on the highlander are 4x heavier than those on the Raven.

The highlander doesnt not move quickly, so it can really only make best use of it's JJ's moving vertically.

So I say no.

I hope ya'll are prepared for the 3 JJ High Lander. No DFA will be had with that thing. Hence why they put 5 on pinkie.
