Yes, mechs with locked gear. The decent warhawk quirks? Are all for Ballistic weapons and Ballisitic hardpoint arms, and thats because the 'Hawk is running with 10 tons of fixed DHS it doesnt need for ballistic builds.
As far as i know, the ONLY clan mech with both decent quirks AND the tonnage to run a decent TC is the Warhawk.
Anyone complaining about OP Warhawks?
yeah thats how peoples perceptions work, they comapre the dead mechs with quirks vs the metamechs with quirks and say : but he got them too. Thats not even a close comparison at all. Especially when they leave out 50% of the truth behind it. I gues PGI has similar smart people doing the balanc,e that woudl at least explain those nonsense balance quirks.
But lets be honest Widow, we say this since, well ages, didn't changed, won't ever change.

TRUTH
I was in a CW drop with a bunch of pugs, well it was a 4-man, a 2-man and 6 pugs. We were against a bunch of pugs on the clan side. We got smoked, and people in the game were crying about how over-powered clan mechs were now.
TRUTH
It wasn't the clan mechs, it was our players. They were horrible! Horrible in the extreme. Only 2 of us managed to break 1000 and I was 800 damage above that other 1000-mark player (we had 3 players who did ~200 damage). It wasn't that the other team was any good -- they were pretty bad as demonstrated by my damage. They had bad positioning, bad trades and no strategy -- but my team was worse! Now the worst part was that the players on my team didn't even realize how horrible players they were -- all were sportin' those lovely vanity unit tags that automatically mean they know what they are doing.
Conclusion:
Unless you routinely switch between clan in CW and IS in CW -- you know very little about overall balance of clan and IS mechs. Maybe you have an idea of how meta stacks up, but meta is not the entire game.
blame their moms who probably educated them in the "you are the best" "you are special" motivational fashion. Because this leads to people not trying to get better because they obviously dont do anythign wrong because the best can't be imporved.
