Before it was overhauled to its current build it's bonuses were:
ECM Detection Range:
+180 meters ECM Detection Range as part of its electronic warfare capability
Additional Quirks:
Energy Weapon Range Bonus
PPC Heat Generation Bonus
Armor Bonus
Armor remained the same, but everything was shunted into Heavy PPC
This renders the mech unable to defend itself because the cost of mounting even just small lasers in available slots prohibitive in cost to armor, jumpjets, ecm, ams and tag. All of which are needed to paint and break an ECM corner which is what this mech was designed to do from the beginning.
With the advent of light tag, we can even keep a little leg armor in the process.
The old light PPC bonus was cool. It is a very viable build to mount two light PPC's, 2 ER Medium Lasers, and a Tag.
But in all configurations that are the most useful to the player, there is at least 1 PPC that isnt a Heavy PPC. ER/Standard/Snub/Light.
I can tell you I could do much stronger team play with the ECM detection bonus back. And having a tag range bonus would give way to a lot of internal debate over light tag, or standard in terms of overal build.
But you have to keep in mind that UM-R80 Pilot that is playing "point breaker" With a Light PPC and a Light TAG, BAP, AMS, ECM has almost nothing left over in tonnage to be able to keep their Pilot Rating because they are A) Not rewarded enough for the work they are doing,
No able to deliver more than about 200 to 250 damage a match, and still be useful for coordinated players to take advantage of their targeting.A "Target Retention" butt of +1 would be huge for players like me in this mech for their team mates.
And lastly if you would like, my system is very capable of making videos. And I will be very happy to
make as many as any developer would like to demonstrate.
Thank you
