6x UAC-5s > 8x UAC-2s already.
No Direwolf build is ever going to out compete the KDK-3 meta builds either.
Not on high mounts, no. Thats IMO one of the few things the Kodiak does good.
The bears are squishier and at the same time more agile. It needs to twist more to spread damage, the dire needs to just wiggle.
I can do say that the Kodiak needs to be tuned down a little, regarding the mobility quirks. While the dire wolf needs a armor, structure and or twist buff. The Atlas and King Crab does just fine as I see it.
All 4 of the 100 tonners have their ups and downs overall, but they need some tweaking though.

So YET ANOTHER power creep mech, just to make sure that there were at least two clan assaults better at boating ballistics than IS.
Meh, enjoy losing more players.
Power creep? While I dont dismiss that they can exist, they arent many and a 8 ballistic mech have serious disadvantages.
Limited ammo and you have to be decent at leading your target. So no, there is no power creep.
Same for any mech that can mount 8 energy and 8 missiles. Again limited ammo for missiles, so you need to make yourself count. And 8 energy? Yeah, sure you dont need ammo but you need heatsinks, so bring the heat!
Also with all that, you might need to shave off armor and limit useful equipment. Even on 100 tonners.
