So I go buy an Orion thinking I can put PPCs into the arms as usual. PPCs are just medium size weapons, should be no problem. But no, in MW5 the Orion-VA has all small sized slots except for the one ballistic hardpoint. So what is it doing weighing 75 tons? Shouldn't it weigh 40-45 tons?

Please PGI, BattleTech has no Mechlab so when designing a Mechlab for MW5 you have to look at the role and spirit of these mechs in determining the size hardpoints you give them. Your Mechlab is to restrictive and players will not experience it because they will go for one of the upcoming Mechlab Mods for MW5 that make more sense. Hrrrm, Your Orion-Protector is OK, maybe make that one more likely to show up.

This is more like MW4.
You do have options regarding those Medium Energy slots.
