what the flying F###. Seriously? 50 tons? Why not raise the IS to 60 or 65.
Limiting my clan selections is doing just one thing. PISSING me off.
I just spent 11 mil on a new crow chassis and more money outfitting it.
I spend REAL money on the game.. and did it to mess around with my scouting decks.
Now Im left with using a huntsman or a shadow cat. Pft.
We had some great scouting matches against skilled IS players in Griffons, shadow hawks and others. We won some of those.. lost some of those.
And we won a BUNCH against nerf herders using poor builds and bad tactics.
SO your solution is basically to take away the stormcrow.
Why dont you just give us all Ice Cream trucks with BB-Guns.
Sorry, but this is horse sh!t. I was reluctantly ok with lowering the tonnage on the invasion decks.. cause I could still sort out a few different drop decks and get in most of my favorite mechs...and assumed you were trying to prevent double kodiaks in each deck. (Course I cant even GET IN an invasion match now)
but further cheapening of what we can do on the Clan side is just p!ssing me off after the MONEY ive spent.
Not that Im a devoted clanner either. Before, my friends and I were running for house Steiner. Then when the merc option was made available we went that route cause we liked playing both IS and Clan mechs. We didnt play a lot of invasion matches back then due to how long it took to get in..and then even after waiting, it might drop empty. We really didn't have time to just wait around all night. so we waited for the next change. The new 4.1 looked to fix all that and we were excited about getting into matches easier.
But cutting off our legs with clan stuff is sad.

clan tech is supposed to be better. Thats just how it is.
I understand a need for balance and I expect to see it. Just quit nerfing the clan size/quality to do it.
How about refunding me that 11+ mil C-Bills.. cause its WASTED now. I only use the crow for scouting. Now I spent money for something you decided to take away from me.

You want balance.. give IS XLs that work like the clans if you aren't going to implement NEW tech engines. Go to a 5 IS vs 4 clan scout match .. OR increase IS tonnage.
go to a 12 IS vs 10 clan invasion match..OR increase IS tonnage....
but quit screwing with what we can take/use on the clan side.
I didnt spend this kind of money so you can start whittling away what i can use.
You'll never achieve perfect balance with such wide varieties of groups, mindsets and lower skilled players.
a very coordinated team can beat a team of skilled players that arent coordinated.
bad builds and poor skilled players will always get rolled over.
It will never be perfect.. but quit limiting what the clan side can do..and improve what the IS can do.

i'll be looking for that 11 mil in christmas stocking. That or take the limit back to 55.

- Totally agree with that even if loosing ST of IS XL means = 35KPH max speed with broken leg also.
