I have the MAD-5M and the MAD-BH2 - Nearly identical builds HG, other than the BH2 has 2 more MLs and 5 points less damage, and is sporting LIGHT FF vs. the 5M's FF.

Other than the legs, the armor layout is identical.

The skills are identical, where it matters for survivability.

Yet the 5M is SOOOOOO fragile compared to the Bounty Hunter it isn't even funny.

It "feels" like maybe the 5M's ST hit boxes are larger? I'm not sure but the 5M is definitely losing ST's nearly instantly anytime the enemy "thinks" about shooting at them, verses the BH which feels sturdier and seems to somehow be able to absorb more damage than the 5M.

I switched back and forth between the builds multiple times just to make sure I wasn't imagining things... There's definitely something "off" about the 5M.

EDIT:
For reference adding the builds:

They feel the same to me.

That said, the 5M has always been my least-favorite since the 3R does dakka better and the BH2 does laser+ballistic better and the 5D is unique with the missiles.

I found out that both are inferior than my MRM MAD-5D in a brawl.

Please tell me you're not talking about LRM builds...

No, MRM60 builds with additional MLs. The 5D has the tubes arranged in such a way that convergence is perfect and it seems like it helps lower spread some as well.

It's the shiny paint job. It reflects the lasers.

They feel more "tanky" to me because it can out DPS the 5M easily.

That means bad guys die faster, and have less of a chance to make me die, which in practice means I am tankier

Nope.

2x Snubs, 2x SRM6A, and either 3x ERSL or 3x ML depending on whether I'm running an LFE or XL, respectively.

Love it.
