Actually, it does mean that. If item A requires 50 units of effort to accomplish task T, and item B only requires 25 units of effort to accomplish the identical task T, that does make item B better. Being difficult to use is not a tactical advantage in any battle.

Not a tactical advantage, just more fun to use due to the challenge. And hey, this might surprise a lot of you obsessed with "competitiveness" but this is a game, it is supposed to allow for sub-par options for the sake of entertainment.

Funny story, the original configurations for Clan 'mechs were originally much better, with better armor coverage and better heat dispersion. The scenario packs that got released with the Clans, though, basically had Clan 'mechs walking all over the IS, so the builds were nerfed to give the IS a chance against them in stock play.

Sadly, what'll end up happening is that this will make stock Clan mechs godawful, requiring ridiculous investments of C-Bills to bring them up to snuff.

I really hope the Shadowcat makes it into this game! :-) Taking a closer look at the Stormcrow it seems cool as well, although the concept art has those creepy little hands....could they be used to tickle your enemy to death?

The slim hands are for reaching down your enemy's throat and ripping his heart out through the mouth

Just look at the Stormcrow B, it's clearly capable of doing that (okay, it has one hand to do that with, but that's all you need!).
