- Frankly, what the Awesome series started in the field of coming IS mech quirks, I am going to be addressing a few of them that I think definitely need love.
Trebuchet=
- Decrease internal critical chance by X % (Optional; but it would give it some edge; as its armor melts away quite easily)
- Decrease Missile cooldown rate by X %
- Decrease Missile heat mitigation by X %
- Decrease target lock-on time by 5-10% (depending on the variant)
- Increase target decay time by 0.5-1 second (depending on the variant)
- Decrease internal critical chance by X %
- 359 degree cockpit turn; It could not just "turn in circles" as there would be a stopper at the rear, but it would give a lot more advantage to this machine.
- This could make it a nightmare on any other mech, but on this? It could be an unseen tactical advantage.
(I know what Paul said when he announced the overpowering of Victor, and announced ways to "slow it down", but I need to address this; as in my opinion the *Meta* status hurt Vicky's reputation the most)
- With the coming of the Clans, I think Victor should be pushed in to the position it was before the nerf= A battlemech that can outmaneuver other mechs in a brawl, as it is *agile*. It chose when to attack, and where to attack with precision.
- Just like the Charger, that was a "scout Assault mech", its speed can be matched with the Vicky; except it packs its "hard right". Its arms are slower than Atlas, its torso turns slower than the Highlander; and even with the biggest engine its not up for the challenge.
- In my opinion, the issue is the Dragon Slayer, not the other variants as badly; hence some speed nerfs could be kept in place, but... it's seriously hurting the chassis; as it isn't good at anything anymore.
- Same load-out could be made with a Battlemaster, with a bigger engine & speed, and it would be tenfold more agile than Victor; where the 'Master loses is its JJs & Mech size.
- Decrease AC20 heat mitigation by 5-15%
- Increase AC20 cooldown rate by 2.5-10%
- Decrease Missile heat mitigation by 5-10%
- Increase RA armor by 5%
- Increase RA critical by 5%
My only grime is that I don't want Victor to be a useless 80 ton "meta-mech"; and after the Nerfs I didn't touch mine anymore; even if I never used the "Meta Builds", and I loved it the most.. and I have loved it for over 20 years.
- You saved my other favorite Assault Mech of all time; so I have faith in time maybe the other one will come as well.
