And it really depends on which Omni

no it really doesnt. no omni assault is as good as a madcat MK2.

And it really depends on which Omni, some benefit from pod swapping more than others.

sure in cases where theres not a better battlemech alternative.

but as soon as a battlemech comes along that can do the same thing, the omnimechs are obsolete.

the only omnimechs that are still good are the ones that battlemechs havent replaced.

because locked equipment sucks. and it sucks BAD.

Well if you look at direwhales and look at the UV, you see that you can make an unmatched brawler if you put it together properly. Thats like... the only exception I can think of tho.

Also why dont we have more clan 100 tonners? I feel like the IS gets all the tonnage related love.

The IS has 3 100 tonners to the Clan's 2.

Considering the IS has a year lead mech wise, and one of the IS 100 tonners is trash while the other is arguably trash, that's not bad.

I personally would love the ability to remove arm actuators from ALL my mechs but a rare few that use mostly arm mountd weapons since 95% of the time i got arm lock on to focus 100% of my alfa strikes exactly where they need to go (if you have arms and torso locked to fire in sync then actuators are pointless). That said, i do see how it can be used as a balancing factor and to limit a few weapon combos on some mech variants (say AC20 and the centurion as one of the best examples). Still, i dont think any mechs would become OP or anything if they got the ability to remove teh actuators, so im all for removing them (or making em invisible so we can load whatever we want in the arms (and as a benefit give IS mechs like the banshee more DHS room to try and bring them a hair closer to clans with their 30+ DHS boats).
