no No NO !!!
wrong.
Don't add 5 tons to the clans. Bring everything down by 15-20 tons.

Strategies are less of a factor as you go up, you just end up parking and barking.

Bring it down, plz.

Off the top of my head:

TBR, TBR, TBR, ACH.

Sounds legit.

Agreed. Balance is good, but not "perfect" -it'll never truly be absolute perfect balance- . . . but "perfect enough" being able to have both factions at equal tonnage in CW. We're just not quite there, yet. However, the increases in tonnage on both sides are getting absurd, and they shouldn't be like this. Keep a mild difference in maximum tonnage between the sides, but bring down the drop deck limits by a minimum of 15 tons on each side.

Yes, that can be done, and frankly it's just wrong. We shouldn't be propagating drop decks where the average mech on the field is going to be a heavy. In lore, mediums were supposed to be the workhorses of Battletech; and in MWO the only reason heavies are gravitated towards over mediums is because there are more iconic chassis there. Fitting one or two "icons" in the drop deck is one thing, but an IS drop deck of 4 Thunderbolts and a Clan drop deck of 3 Timber Wolves and an Arctic Cheetah is just absurd.

I can only hope this is just a big hurrah of "throw as much tonnage out there as you want" and "enjoy the meta while it lasts" before they deploy Phase 3.
