For it's huge, vulnerable, weapon-crammed arms. There are only two of the entire seven variants of the 'Hawk that have any weapon hardpoints at all anywhere but in the arms.The B and 1K variants, specifically. Every other variant is completely neutered if you shoot it's arms off, and no amount of torso-twisting is going to keep you from knocking off one arm in seconds with an alpha and immediately cutting it's firepower in half.

After having played a variety of variants the past few days, I can say I agree with much of what has been said. The Phoenix Hawk is a big target for 45 tonnes, and the weapons are easy to strip. Both points make the chassis' sweet spot between 280-450 metres from the battle lines. LRMs murder Phoenix Hawk's because the spread damage whittles down the thin armour easily enough the mech usually has to run a XL engine to have room for weapons, especially if they are not mastered yet. Brawler mechs also murder the Phoenix Hawk with DPS output and twice as much armour. I love the mechs but they are a tough ride sometimes with strict rules of survival. Many Phoenix Hawks will be sacrificed this weekend.

The PHX is definitely quirked too lightly. It needs heat disappation and major Arm structure. The machine gun rof really is pointless it could use generic ballistic buffs since it's not heavy enough to to boat anyway.

La + 18
Ra + 18
Heat disappation + 20%
Ballistic Cooldown +15%
Remove mg rof
