Griffin 1N has SRM6 buff, 3M has SRM4 buffs, in addition to general missile buffs.

Old/current quirks:

GRF-1N
- SRM/6 Range +5%
- Missile Weapon Range +5%
- Torso Yaw Speed +10%

GRF-3M
- SRM/4 Range +5%
- Missile Weapon Range +5%
- Torso Yaw Speed +10%

---

Again, SRM range buffs are useless because if you firing SRMs at that range, you're spreading the damage to the point that you're just wasting ammo. The new quirks look to have missile cooldown buffs, so the GRFs are finally getting actual meaningful buffs. Even if they got LRM quirks, the general missile buffs on cooldown will be enough to feel and make a difference.

Sorry, I didn't join the navy, so I'm good with options beside boating

I'd be fine with a medium mech with 2 well quirked LPL, I just don't trust them to do that to the 7k at this point. They have jumped back and forth too inconsitantly so far with "quirk the stock" and "quirk what people will use" and occasionally "Quirk randomly."

I'm also not convinced a LL quirked 6K makes up for being the only one without jumpjets. I have LL using mediums, what I didn't have until the 6K was a good LPL one. I will find another in time of course, just disappointed in this change.

Meanwhile I expected the nerfs to the thunderbolt, and those don't bother me because they don't really change the weapons it uses.

This isn't all of them? I have a sinking feeling for my TDR-5SS.

Actually all it lost was the range (whatever you quoted is wrong), and while the range might be missed the extra velocity is probably better because it means at max range you'll be much more likely to actually hit your target.

Im piloting one right now and yes the velocity is worth more, so yes it is an improvment in quirks for this Cicada.

These are generous quirks to even the two techs. The complaints are like blantant troll replies lol.

Looks good, to the guys doing the quirks.

After this quirk massacre, nobody with half a brain will buy new mechs. But Einstein was right.

Yes, I am done buying IS mechs. I spend a crap load of cbills based on some quirks on mechs then they screw up the quirks so I now have mecs that don't do what I need them to do...

I guess this is PGIs way of getting me to purchase more -- but I am not. Screw that nonsense.

No WHY would you give the better quirks to the variant that has better hardpoints... The 4G's quirks were already spot-on. The faster arm movement meshed perfectly with the cut-down on LL's beam duration. Sigh.

russ said on Twitter the TDR-5SS isn't getting new changes.

I'm pissedwhat they did to my wolverine 6k. Why the LL quirks? It was far more unique with the LPL quirks.

I'll make a deal restore the 9s and fix the god damn light hit reg. Just unloaded erLLs in to the rear of a raven, it didn't even strip all the armor off, and it was 20M infront of me running in a straight line

Odd. I don't see any options being lost. I see new options being made. Maybe not the blatant, so easy to spot a blind person can find it meta cheese you seem to feel would be the "option" for all of us, but hey, what do I know? I'm just a bad, and we all know the game should cater to how 1% of the player base prefer it.

Do you like behaving like a child?

Your post doesn't even make any sense lol.

All this on my favorite variant?

Eeeeh, needs a smaller ER Large cool-down buff and a larger general energy cool-down buff. The ballistic range boost is nice, but what it needs is a Medium or Medium Pulse that can fire faster than that new, 25% reduction in duration boosts it.

Ouch, that was rather harsh. It is now the variant with the shortest reach and nothing to really compensate. Now I know which one to run as hard-mode, which is fun, but you're probably going to get some backlash over these changes. What was the logic here?

Shorter range, eh? Interesting. I would've preferred faster, tighter missiles to improve first-shot utility over more missiles per second, but I can work with it. Heat buff is welcome. I still think it needs Small Laser buffs because the MedLas eats into ammo storage.

I'd say many people got touched by the boar's head and have been dealing with the mental scars for a while.

I'd be really curious to see if there are other BlackJack quirks besides the Arrow.

[Bad Katz]

I'm just glade to finally see a Griffin with a PPC bonus. It was a LRM/PPC mech, and not a SRM mech. Glad all the lore and structure of Battletech is not going out the window

I'm sure they got any structural boosts it got, and maybe the 1 got those AC20 quirks.

Huh. Guess reading comprehension isn't par with your gaming skills.

Spell it out. Just because the options aren't all the ones you and ultimatum would like? Not the same as taking away options, especially as so many of the previous quirks were so over the top as to be the mandatory build.
