yeah but by that same reasoning the blackjack is an ac/2 sniper and doesnt need structure buffs

but the blackjack is one of the toughest mechs around with its insane structure quirks

Please note I never said it makes any sense; it doesn't. It seems to be almost random what 'mech gets which quirks and how they synergize with the latest round of weapon "balancing". The Blackjack made out like bandits this time around, but it has been, and likely will be, other 'mechs at other times.

And for the record I do agree that the Commando could do with some structure quirks. It probably needs more than that, but it's a start.

Homogenizing the Mech appearances was an awful mistake from PGI. They made half the Mechs look butchered as a result. I really miss the big cannon that the YLW had for a RA, and now my own COMs look like trash.

I really don't understand why we aren't allowed to have nice things.

A large part of the reason why commandos suck is because IS SRMs and IS SSRMs dont do enough damage.

They cost TWICE as much tonnage as their clan counterparts. Why do they only do 2.15 damage per missile?

IS SRMs and IS SSRMS should be doing a bare minimum of 2.5 damage per missile to make up for weighing twice as much.


Commandos also need more structure quirks than most other lights because theyre subjected to brawling more often due to their short range missile loadouts.

But for some dumb reason PGI armors up long-range sniper mechs like the blackjack. While mechs that are actual brawlers like the Commando get weakass structure quirks.

The quirks make NO sense. I thought quirks were supposed to reinforce the canon roles of mechs...

Because, reasons.

If Commandos could talk, this is what they would be saying...
