And how do you propose to balance the lighter weight of single-slug cLB-X against the heavier isACs?

That's why I said OR keep them burst fire, just UACs without the double tap ability. But the ability to switch to a more damaging shotgun, that's still less damaging as a UAC anyway. (If we take into account double tapping doubles the damage instead of adding a tiny bit.)

My dream patch notes

-Bunch of new weapons.

-Bunch of new equipment.

I'll let you guys fill in the details. Some new lights and a new engine would be nice too.

3spooky5u heat?

I'm hard pressed to give a real answer, because clam tech is just too stronk because of weight differences. PGI has also shown that they are scared of quirks now. However someone has mentioned giving IS ballistics and missiles a free ton of reloads that weighs nothing that comes with the weapon, to help with the weight differences, as most IS weaponry was installed pre-loaded anyway. I wouldn't see it being a total gamechanger, personally.

Why do the Firestarters get quirks but the poor Wolfhound get nothing in return either, or god forbid the poor Panther?

I think their armor quirks are adequate personally, but I am not primarily an IS player. Besides, when has one patch fixed EVERYTHING?

Adequate, maybe, but not enough to make them better than the Blackjacks, they are still the worst 45 tonners right along side the Pixies.

As if playing peekaboo with every other mech isn't bad enough already. And I hear plenty of screams, screams of frustration as I run rings around them and drive them mad with the hammering sound of 4 machineguns.

Both that IS and Maus driver are idiots. Sidescrape with the Maus, and always keep facing the enemy straight ahead with the IS. This is basic stuff people!

I'm loving the M56 Scorpion. I mean, if I'm going to get penetrated anyway, why bother with armor? And its gun can actually punch above its tier, unlike 90% of the other tanks I have.

I gave up on WoT and War Thunder after they both got powercreeped to hell and back. I miss my Pz IV's though.

Lots of games get powercreeped to hell and back, MWO is no exception. I remember when a 97kph Raven with 2 MLas and an SRM6 was enough. These days a light needs 3 large lasers just to put a dent in a medium mech.

At least in MW:O I don't truly get one-shot, and I can run builds I have fun with and still not do terrible. But in WoT, my poor Pz IV H is dead weight unless I run the 105mm derp+HE and some gold rounds.

long 75 is pretty damn good for its tier, but that's it.

And put my TBR (as seen in my sig) up against someone from my tier bracket with his own custom TBR, and I'll lose 8 out of 10 times guaranteed. So yeah, the only times my builds are fun, is when I'm not trying to either win or stay alive.

A while ago, I would have said that your problem is that your tier bracket is everyone in the game. Unfortunately it has been shown that there is no such thing as a tier bracket anymore anyway.
