Was referring to the standard engine 4J you presented. And it's not a problem to have ammo in the torso if it's padded. It's a problem to have so much ammo on something so thinly armored (also if they're shooting your right torso then you're not capitalizing on the additional protection to its maximum effect; they should be crying that their hits aren't registering when in fact your RT has more armor and health than your CT, and that you're practically invincible. Someone who knows better isn't aiming at the RT. They're aiming for the groin, the drum on the LT, or the head itself [since the entire head is the cockpit hitbox]!

(Granted, this capitalizing works even better on the MWO non-swaybacks 4G, 4H and 4P.)
(Oh, and nothing wrong with an XL engine in a Hunch, so long as you keep that LT rear armor up [RT rear could be zero and you'd still be fine] and move fast. LRMs by accident and sharp shooters alike know the weakpoint of every Hunch even before quirks is really a feature exclusive to the left side. The universal low rear armor optimal settings of a Shadowhawk will never work on a Hunch, which is why Hawk users praise the Hawk and shun the Hunch.)
