Was there an unannounced server-side patch today?

I personally think 250 is more of a sweet spot for IS. Ton for ton whenever drop deck tonnages are even, clan always has the advantage because they have more mechs that fill super roles at lower weights.
Hellbringer, Cheetah, Stormcrow, Ebon Jag, Timbers, etc. ton for ton are going to generally outperform IS mechs of the same tonnage.
That's obviously a bit of an over simplification but true at the basis and obviously altered dependent on individual pilot skill. I don't and never have felt clans were OP, but at even tonnages they have a distinct advantage.
10v12 didn't work, it was horribad for clans. Drop deck tonnage was a good approach to helping balance those numbers, even deck tonnage does nothing but give Clan their advantage back instead of making in more "even ground"
I'm thoroughly convinced it's nothing more than trying to entice players back to clan side of the fight. It wasn't done in the name of "balance".

If these PGI tests did turn out the way you described, then why in Kerensky's name is no one else talking about it?
Because if you are correct, then what people believe -- that it was horribad for the IS -- is pure and utter bunk and must be put six feet under ...
... and I can get my 10v12.

Because it was held on the test server many moons ago. It was a big hooplah when they did it. They ran it over a couple of different weekends and time periods.
It sucked. Clans got rolled almost every time. It doesn't work for this game. The tonnage variation is going to get a much closer balance in those terms which is why I think they went with the drop deck format in the first place.
Unfortunately, they can't give diversified drop decks according to Russ, so 1 weight per side across all planets.
