The shadow-cat is already shakey at close range combat without the best hard-points coming with SEVERE torso angle nerfs. The tiny amount of hard-points available on the SHC make the 10 degree nerfs on each of the B arms, and the Prime right torso overkill, that is not to mention the FORTY FIVE DEGREE nerf on the Prime CT; that's absolutely ridiculous. The current Mauler can outtwist my Shadowcat Prime, a mech that is well known in lore as having great torso twist.

Why in the world would the Prime CT have such a stupendous twist penalty when it doesn't do anything the other CTs don't do also?

This seems like an error. Any word, Alexander?

Why are the Prime Variants getting such heavy nerfs? Is it because PGI doesnt want people to use their 30% Cbill boost mechs which they bought with real money?

It's because derp, it's a sniper, it must work just fine with a neckbrace, torso twisting is for brawlers. Sadly I like to skirmish using my 30% cbill bonus SCAT. The mech definitely isn't good enough to warrant all of these negative quirks.

People will just use P variant, i think. Another Shadow Cats are useless.

This just in- only the people that bought their Wave 3 early get the SHC that's useful!

Invasion Variant SHC is pointless!


More to the point... WTF? Even in it's "quirked" state, the SHC was marginal at best. Few hardpoints, little tonnage, not enough speed to be a scout, not enough armor to be a front line fighter.

Now it doesn't have the maneueverability to be even a flanker. Good Lord.
