I was looking to see if someone could confirm what I'm seeing.

I have what seems to be a bug. I was comparing the Vindicator, Phoenix Hawk, Panther, and Firestarter. I mounted 6 Jump Jets on all mechs (3 tons .5 for each Jump jet). They also have zero skills in the Jump Jet tree. I tested all mechs on River City at the main structure in the middle. For some reason, I am getting a lot more vertical movement with the Vindicator and the Phoenix Hawk despite being 10 tons more. The Mediums take off quite easily to where the lights feel like they are heavies when attempting to take off. I took a Grasshopper to see how it compared and with 4 JJ's it wasn't getting as much height but it was incredibly close. Currently I have to devote many more jump jets to a light than I do a medium to get the same jump performance as a medium.

Test conditions:

River City infront of the main building in the middle (you know the one we nascar around lol), Complete Stop and just jump

No skills in the mech jump jet tree.

That is intentional due to the number of JJ a stock light can have.

jump jets in this game is pretty much mother ******* POINTLESS!

in TT they're great, in MWO pointless other than to reduce leg dmg from falls!

I could understand it if it made some sense. I mean if the JJ's only weighed .25 tons on the lights I would get it. We're looking at half a ton per JJ on a light and per JJ on a medium.

Also I dont agree with that at all. I would encourage you to look at a PPC Summoner or a medium mech.

Look at Victor or Highlander....2 tons and nowhere to go. They did get SLIGHTLY better, only slightly, when PGI updated their stats a few months ago

Jump jets were nerfed eons ago due to the poptart meta era
paying for sin of the past I guess
My Nova jumps better than my Spider D
