Seriously? Of ALL the IS heavies the Cataphract is the one which needs a buff? SERIOUSLY?!?!? lololol......

Yea, I can't see much quirk assistance for the Cataphract or Jager. Too bad too, I have an Ilya that could use some bonuses

No. Just no. You just want it to have quirks, because you want your mech to be better, not because the Cataphract needs it. There is a reason, why it is the most used IS heavy and why the Illya is the most sold hero Mech. And the reason is not, because it "could need some bonuses". There is a big difference between those commonly used mechs (commonly used because they're good) an the Mech that "could use some bonuses" (like the Orion, Trebuchet, Dragon, Quickdraw...). They really could use them, not because someone who likes them wants them to be better, but because of their lackluster performance they are rather rare on the battlefield.

The Cataphract is the last mech I think about, when it comes to mechs that need buffing.

Wow, you completely missed the tone of my post. Notice how I put a smiley face after that statement... And how just above that I said the Cataphract and Jager didn't need much quirk bonuses. Wait, you cut that part out of my quote.

I interpreted "I can't see much quirk assistence" as "I cannot see PGI giving them some" not as "I don't think they need some". But sorry, if I misunderstood you. After more than a year on these forums, I read so much stupid stuff, that it'S hard to take anything anymore as a joke.

Its ok, easy enough to do in text. I could have tried to lay the sarcasm on thicker too. Lol

i'm really hoping the Blackjack gets some love - they'r great mechs (350+ games in my BJ-1X) but you have to be super careful and conservative with them to get decent results

wonder what would happen if the A1 got missile cooldown and heat reduction buffs..
throw in a srm6 cooldown module.. cooldown on srm6 is now ~= cooldown on srm4s...
if you can manage the heat... you've got a 77 alpha every 3 sec...

only problem is the A1 is its super easy to hit... wide body and giant ears..

I do remember Russ saying something about the tier system and the Victor. I am nervous about the Victor getting restored to where it was. It seemed too "Heavy like" for an Assault.

In any case, you want cooling for your WubShee, I want more cooling for my ThunderWub (5SS I think)

An 80 ton Assault should feel like a 75 ton heavy as they are only separated by 5 tons of weight.
