It's called the RVN-2X

Some of us like to use NARC on the 3L

I guess I should've been a bit more precise with my wording, the A, AL and AH could use a little tweaking to be tougher, either through larger engine sizes or toughness quirks. Really a 300 XL is about perfect in the Centurion chassis, anything smaller than a 250 feels sluggish in that chassis.

The AL's laser quirks and its ability to mount 3LPL already makes it a great 'Mech so it shouldn't be quirked further.

It seems that it's AL's fault for having the ability to mount 3LPL so peeps can't use it as a brawler (because of the quirks). Nerf the laser quirks and quirk it as a brawler? I don't think that's a good idea because in the original config, that 'Mech is no brawler (in MWO standard).

As for the AH and A, I think AH already has sufficient quirks (add some accel and deccel quirks?) and I think the A is the worst of the bunch.

Just shows why offensive quirks should be tied to the location. Those who want to run something BESIDE boring 3xLPL exist.

Have much more fun with 2xLPL, 2xML, 2xSRM4, personally. Would have even more fun if it could run a 300xl, tho

I think weapon quirks should be tied to the weapon. Plus that opens up PGI for selling something other than mechpacks. Holly PPCs have less heat, cost more, quicker refire, etc.

At the expense of less damage/shot for Holly PPC's... Donal PPCs should be the gold standard of PPC's.

I've always thought weapons should be set to X damage over 10 seconds, maybe 5 seconds due to armour values, this way we could have different versions of the same weapons, that my shoot faster or slower and give less or more damage a shot, so long as it balances out to the same average over a set amount of time as their class of weapon.

Needs quirk buffs or requirking.

1. Victor (they all need some serious help)
2. Kitfox (still has negative quirks.. what the hell?) Just too flimsy
3. Stalker (4H and 4N are ok, rest are complete garbage)
4. IceFerret?

Mechs that need structure quirks dialed down.. Because they're ridiculous.
1. Marauder
2. Warhammer
3. Black-Knight. (needs the CT buff I guess)

I actually like the current COM quirks. They could be better, but they make them drivable in PUGs. Frankly, for a 25 ton mech that's usually dependent on heavy missiles, I'm not sure what more you can do.

[Corrado]

1- TOPDOG (no -heatgen quirks)
2- Dragon-1N (with the AC5 quirks toned down, useless)
3- Pretty Baby (quirks wont save those randomly thrown few hardpoints in a terribad chassis anyway)

Any chance we could skip re-quirking the WVR and just get it redesigned to not look like a Walking Brick, instead?

Not many misses in Alex's MWO portfolio, but the WVR is most assuredly one of them. Anyone that thinks they look good probably think that Kathy Bates and Rumor Wilson are smoking hawt, too.

wolverine is one of the closer likenesses to the TRO, it is what it is, Beaker on Speed, all it's missing is it's hand bag and a held gun

vastly prefer the new TRO version (bottom right)

Almost started this exact same thread yesterday, but I realized I would rather have this discussion after the rescaling. Assuming rescaling has a substantial effect on more than 4-5 mechs. Which it may not. Time will tell.

But for now? I'll go with ammo quirks for Urbanmech and Shadowcat. Structure and armour quirks for Victor, or possibly +5 kph speed bonus for Highlander.
