Anyone who really thinks that IS mechs are weaker than clan mechs just make a joke of themselves.

You can argue that clan equipment is better, but that will be pretty much balanced with the new tech,
then equipment will still be different, but I dont see the imbalance.

But Mechs, almost every IS mech on the same tonnage is better than the Clan counterpart.
More armor, better hardpoints, better hitboxes and most importantly better quirks.

And since you will not be forced into XL engines anymore I dont see how any clanmech is better than IS.
I would trade my Kodiak for any IS assault.
And basically all my mechs for a clan warhammer or battlemaster.

Certain IS mechs are seriously overpowered.

And worst, IS has a tonnage advantage it seems like most players are not aware of because they dont know **** about this game apparently.

For all the complaining tier 5 potatoes out there,
Clan only has 240 tons for dropdecks in faction warfare, IS has 265 tons.
That alone is a huge imbalance, and still IS pilots complain?

wow.

Oh ... I can't be mean to you.

1. Comp play 95% clan mechs.
2. QP ... best mechs are routinely 80% or more clan mechs.
3. IS mechs are great in certain situations, especially against weak players who can't aim into a shoulder.
4. Upper tiers and stronger players slaughter most IS Heavies / Mediums no problem.
5. I am willing to revise my expert opinion once Light Fusion engines are a reality. I look forward to it.
6. I will admit I haven't played much since the last balance pass which bent over Clan SPL pretty hard.
