I lol'd, ill admit it.

I really think the larger issue isn't that it has a low engine cap so much that this game doesn't INCENTIVISE slower speeds.
WAY too many mechanics attached to the engine size of a mech.
I'm all for making the thing relevant in this game, but the issue with it is that it's judged on a linier scale.
The bigger win to me isn't to just cave and give it engines like everything else, but actually address the fundamental issue that low engines equipped in mechs DO NOT provide enough perks to justify their existence against the larger engines.
It should not matter that the mech is slower then other marauders. Just like it shouldn't matter that a mech that CHOOSES to place low engine caps shouldn't be unnecessarily punished for doing so.
I say use this opportunity and fix the damn engine upgrade chasing system. At least provide a reason for why a low engine cap heavy isn't a bad thing.
I certainly agree, though I'll point out as the game currently stands, with its heavily engine size influenced mechanics, a small engine cap isn't necessarily horribly bad. But in the BH2 case, they took the one variant that really needs a larger engine and gimped it. If the 3R had a lower engine cap instead, it wouldn't have been nearly as much of an issue because being more ballistics focussed, the 3R çan make better use of the increased tonnage available and suffers less from losing the heat dissipation.

if the TBR didn't do everything better, while going 29 kph faster, and packing a C-XL, I might almost agree with you.... if I could also ignore things like laughable twist and turn rates attached to smaller engines, etc.
... Or how MANY other IS mechs can do exactly the same builds but objectively better... And nobody uses those builds on those mechs, because they still suck.
