It doesnt matter if its the same speed or not. The % of tonnage a medium spends to go its optimum speed should be almost exactly the same as the % of tonnage the heavy spends to go its optimum speed. thats how a balanced engine tonnage curve should work out. Mediums should not have to sacrifice proportionally more firepower just to go the normal speed theyre supposed to go.
For mediums to go their normal speed theyre they have to sacrifice more of their total tonnage compared to heavies. Because their tonnage is spent less efficiently on engines due to the way the engine tonnage curve is set up. Which is why people are forced to make slower mediums in order to make up for the lack of efficiency that mediums have due to the engine sizes they have to take.
Mediums are way less efficient than Heavies. Its as simple as that. I dunno how else to explain it to you. But thats why Heavies need a speed nerf.
Heavies are currently outright better than every other weight class. Its so obvious that youre biased towards heavies and have absolutely no interest in a balanced game. But the reality is lighter weight classes should go much faster than heavier weight classes. Mediums should go much faster than heavies. Because if you cant outgun something you should be able to outrun it.

If lights cant go fast they die. If you take their speed away they become pointless. So thats not an option.
heavies on the other hand have plenty of armor so theres no excuse for them to be going 90kph.
