Your scenario assumes the pilots are of equal skill. ZERO pilots are exactly equal in skill. In a typical match you can have a wide variety of skill sets.
Take this scenario. You have a Dragon Slayer on each side with the same exact loadout. The pilot on one side is mediocre and the pilot on the other is elite. How will your BV system balance this?
If you're looking at how 'mechs are balanced, you have to assume outside factors, like skill, are equal...otherwise why are you even discussing this?
Fine...let's get anecdotal then. I've NEVER had a locust kill me while I'm in my Atlas. I've enjoyed hilariously one-shotting them often.
