60 kph is excellent for an Assault, your build is much too reliant on people not noticing your paper leg armour. As soon as a Light hugs your legs they're going to guess where the ammo is and be quickly treated to a fireworks display. There's also the scattershot nature of your weapons - higher spread on the SRMs and multi-shot on the UAC. A regular AC20 and Artemis equipped SRMs will put a hefty punch into a more compact location at more or less the same time, giving you more opportunity to wiggle your torso to spread incoming damage.

look, I'll bite my tongue and keep it objective; if you wanna run it like that, have fun mate.
but there's a reason many would run it differently;
again: nothing wrong with doing your thing; just accept it's not in your own interest doing so.

Im very happy u dont get religious about mech builds.

That is because you put points into speed tweak to get yours to 70km'h... Speed tweak being a gross waste of points btw.

The difference between a 350 and 365 engine is only 3-4km/h as a baseline so it's actually negligible based on that. Long as you run 60km/h or faster, that's fine for QP. All my Assaults in the sub 100T region run around that.

[Y E O N N E]

• 90 tonner running at 63 kph
  
• Way too slow

L E L

Most of my Assaults run around 55 kph.

[3RoyalStar1]

I recommend sunspider, Timberwolf, linebacker or hellbringer

The question is why do you get squashed? Are you trying to stand toe-to-toe with bigger mechs or are you fighting 1v5 against an enemy firing line? If it's the first one, then you probably want a mech with high DPS or a big alpha so you just win the brute force trades. Being in a heavy or assault won't help positioning/timing problems like the second issue.

I think you're pretty much guaranteed to win any close-range face-to-face, 1v1 trade with a Scorch or something similar with 90+ alphas. Same goes for anything with 2 HGR and some lasers like a Fafnir and it can also have ECM. Blood Asp with ECM and Gauss Vomit works well too, but more for longer range engagements and peek and shoot.

I guess you go with the popular ones like the MCIIB UAC or BAS UAC10/3xUAC5 with ECM.

Very few people aim for arms in Quickplay. I run into one every badozen games. Most players don't even shoot lights with open legs and keep hammering the godlike hitboxes on their torsos.

[VonBruinwald]

No love for the MDD-C?

81 kph (that's IS medium speed) and the armour of an assault, throw on a couple of LBX-20s and you can bull-rush almost any mech 1v1. More if one was feeling brave:

I’ve always had a soft spot for Stalkers, Zeus, Orion (ON1-V and Va), and Caldron-Borns.

And this is why y'all aren't in t1 - a lack of situational ... Or in this case, temporal awareness

I second the Marauders (of any variety). If hit-boxes are the same they are pretty durable, have less need for torso-twisting and can take pretty much any load-out.

they certainly are mechs you dont want to get flanked with. but they are great with head to head combat.
