I haven't played it yet, but I'm assuming that with the LRM5 nerf, and now these quirks, it's going to be roughly where it was before.

Have they ever given a reason as to why adding more weapons to the arms adds the VCRs and CBs to it?

I mean it comes stock with 2 15s right? Why then doeds it have to add all manner of other **** attached to it when you add 3 5s? Shouldnt they be able to fit in the spot the 15s vacated?

Or maybe they should strap VCRs to other mechs that add more tubes like on their chests.

Its a stupid idea and should be removed.

shorter cooldown and less heat... Those seem good to me... no?

And yet the King Crab will supposedly have them.

I miss the graphical fidelity and small things like how when you stopped on a rock yuor mech's legs moved to compensate not just stuck inside the rock.

I dont know what other games have gotten graphically worse in the name of progress O.o

The cooldown thing is almost good, but it's only half a quirk. I can't remember the last time my A1 passed the 50% heat mark, in either LRM or SRM boat configurations.

T3, but was then uplifted into T2 because it is compatible with JJ, and then lost a quirk because it had JJ.

Were we ever given a reason why the new art was made at all?

If I recall correctly, the official reason was to make the weapons look uniform across mechs. Most of the older models received changes around the same time, but none as significant as the Catapult.

My C1 Catapult I stripped the Jump Jets as well - I needed the tonnage for bigger guns.

True, but that was still the excuse they used. Of course, someone at PGI really really hates the Catapults with all the successive nerfs they've gotten over the years, so BS will be BS.
