Sure, the firepower is good, but it's the same size as the 100-ton Direwolf with much less armor, and much worse hitboxes.
Also, pretty much nobody is calling the Warhawk DOA. Everyone with a lick of sense calls it underwhelming, though. Compared to the Stalker at the same weight, the Warhawk will last half the time in a fight, moves the same speed, has only marginally more firepower (even after the 4N's nerfs) and has much lower hardpoints. Despite that, it's hardly the worst mech in the game, but I would pick pretty much any IS assault over it in a head-to-head fight, except maybe the Victor.
Actually, in terms of speed and agility the Peacedove beats the Stalker. Stalker has an optimal engine of STD300, meaning 62.9 kph, while the Peacedove's XL340 lets it go 71.3 kph. It also gets a really, crazy large torso twist radius for its size (more than the majority of heavies).
...The other criticisms of the mech's flaws are valid, however.
Still, I pride myself in being the founder of the Cult of Wubhawk™.
