Some of you might have noticed that the Twist-X bonus and the double bonus don't works for a number of mechs.
I started a thread some time ago regarding this problem and many players reported that the bonus did not work for them either. There was no clarification regarding this issue (except it being labeled "new issue") and the thread is locked now.

However. Many of you know the Mechlab site http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/ (great site btw. but why do they have more information about the mechs than we have on the official homepage?...nvm)

Now, when you check the torso twist angles you will get a information window that shows you the angles and a short description of the values.
On some mechs (those without independent arm movement like the Catapult) it says that Twist-X is not supported.

I'd really like to know what's true.
Do the boni not work as they should?
Or do we have to spend XP on a bonus even if it has no effect on our mech?
And if it's a bug, is it the only bonus not working or are there more and we just don't notice because we can't really test them.

If there is a problem, why no just say so PGI?
Don't leave us in the dark without any informations. That's worse than anything else.

Well ... I'd assume that the bonuses that affect the arms do not have any effect on the mechs whose arms are mostly fixed with little lateral traverse (Catapult and Jenner for example). Having arms that move faster in these cases won't do much of anything. On the other hand, the bonuses that affect the torso should affect these mechs (and I believe they do from my experience though I haven't tested it explixcitly... the torso twist speed and extent do seem to be affected by the relevant bonueses ... but if you have in game evidence that they do not then please send it to the mwo support team).

If it doesn't affect mechs which can't move their arms sideways, why do we have that skill on these mechs then?
Also, it says "torso-twist" what, for me, means it's related to the torso and not the arms.
I'd just like to get a definitive answer.
