While you are asking for stuff from Santa why not ask for ECM and a clan version of stealth for the piranha.

clans should get stealth armor. makes no sense that its IS only. clans know how to make stealth armor and they do use it on occasion. and its not like MWO follows lore anyway. theres really no good reason to block them from being able to use it. the piranha cant use ECM so it wouldnt be able to use stealth armor so thats a non-issue. it would be a nice option for the clan lights with ECM though.

and there needs to be ghost heat on 8+ machine guns. just make machine guns generate some completely irrelevant amount of heat that way you can add massive ghost heat penalties when firing more than 8 at a time. That wont stop the piranha from firing 12 machine guns, but it will prevent it from firing them non-stop, which is all thats really needed to balance it IMO. If its going to have assault level DPS it should at least generate some significant amount of heat to keep it in check.

TBQH, the PIR-1 is kinda crap now. Too sluggish, too squishy.

It was never really all that outside of the like 2 things it does absurdly well. Now that the community has become accustomed to another light that cannot be ignored its glaring weaknesses are more easily demonstrated, and you're no longer immune to potato vision.

Nothing quite as amusing as watching Player A argue how much missile ammo is sufficient for a light mech with player B who by of course sheer coincidence has better stats and spends the majority of his play time in light mechs.
