You are wrong.

Bushwacker X1 is the best. It has more tonnage. A better profile. Better quirks. Doesn't become useless after losing one torso.

It's not even close.

Shaq Hawk and Bushwanker are both 55 tons. However, the Shaq Hawk can take an XL engine with lower risk than the Bushwanker (Bush can't ever XL basically) to free up some more pod space.

I'd personally probably still take the Bushie for the profile/durability it has. Or even just bump it up to a Champion.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it's convergence and not low enough to be a hindrance.

It is not even a question the X1 is the best period. It's even listed on Grimmechs while Shadow Hawk does not.

So the experts have spoken and you are wrong.

Bushie can absolutely XL and is considered one of the safest IS mechs to do so. Thought the Shadow Hawk was 50 but looked it up you are correct. However it has the less favourable structure quirks and a square easy to pick off profile. Bushie gets armor quirks on top of a slender profile that is built for racs (ie you don't torso twist in it).

Champion is not a medium and it is ridiculously stupid looking.

No the experts are over at Grimmechs.

You can argue all you like but quirks and better profile make you wrong. It isn't even a debate, you simply have to accept you are wrong.

Using RACs on the Shadowhawk is a waste of amazing ballistic cool-down quirks.

The Profile zero problem for 3xRac2 high mounts make it so you can fire from haul down position most of the time in a good spot most of your mech in cover

You play at potato level so I take anything you say with a metric **** ton of salt.

It seems you don't understand profiles and quirks which is not surprising. But yes I did forget Shadow Hawk was 55, haven't played it in a long time.

Profile is about more than just gun height, but also general body shape. The bullet-nose body makes the Bushie spread damage more easily while facetanking with rapid-fire weaponry such as RACs. Flat blocky torsos don't work as well for facetanking.

Also the bottommost cannon on the Shad's shoulder isn't really that uber high.

LOL.

You said fight you dude, I am. Accept that you are wrong. Grim, quirks, profile and such.

Deal with it.

One v one'ing a 53 percenter? Not tonight am busy but come by BCMC channel on Cobra Saturday. Let me know what weight class and such and what you think would be fair. My suggestion is that we use exact same mech with same build, maybe even trials.
