Sorry forgot to add essential point : Heavier than regular XL, but still lighter than STD.

And as far as hardpoints go Sarna states there was a hero variant that had 10 lasers in one arm and lrm 15 in the other side torso.

Well one could wonder what would be if you could fit into Victor : Supercharger + MASC 2,5 faster than max speed so that gives us about light mech speed?

Please tell me this is your roundabout way of asking for the LFE.

Your going to get in trouble for impersonating Russ. Just happened to a unit mate of mine.

I have fooled around a bit in Victors the last week and they really do need some help in the tanking department. They handle really well though but you more or less need to go XL engine to bring any oomf, but then you need some more ST structure to go with it. Best I got was like 4 kills and 600 dmg a few times in some 20 drops with a few sub 200 dmg rounds at the other end. Then I make a single drop in a KDK or KGC and break 1000+ first try... so IMHO the VTR performance lies at some 50% of the best assaults.

Give it:
+10 -> +18 ST structure (same as AWS)
+0 -> +20 CT structure (worse than AWS)
+0 -> +100% JJ lift (because max JJ is not enough to fly)

I'd play that when I want to have some brawling fun, and I don't think any comp people would touch it still.

Edit: and fix those tubes!

I've been calling out for ST buffs ever since the JJ nerf, it's about the only thing on them they need, other than for JJ's to work again, that PGI hasn't given them..

in my opinion the solution for 80t 60t and 40t mechs would be to have a slow decrease of the advantages of the lower weightclass

which mean a 80t might handle a bit more like a heavy with less JJ penalty and less movement penalty from the assault class
