How's the Geometry on the other mechs in this comparison for poptarting? I assume they all have much better geo than the vapor eagle, otherwise why does the vapor eagle get to be so much better at the rest?
Huntsman is similar to VGL with better hardpoint geometry. It has a fixed engine, fixed crit distribution and fixed more jump jets than it needs so it ends up being limited by lack of weapons, ammo or heat sinks. Like, when VGL runs 3ERPPC, Huntsman runs 2, when VGL runs 2ATM12+ATM9, Huntsman runs 3x9, when VGL runs 2UAC10+ERPPC, Huntsman runs 2UAC10. The better geometry is not enough to make up for the reduced firepower.
Still a good mech tho. Would probably be the best clan medium if VGL suddenly disappeared.
