Also don't put XL's in hunches for gods sake, it's as dumb as putting an XL in an Atlas, unless you're running one of the camelbacks I guess because if you lose your RT you lose all your weps anyway, but I still wouldn't recommend it, especially on a 4SP where losing your RT just means losing a few weps.

So on my 4G and 4P i sometimes use XL engines since I am wasted anyhow when my RT is destroyed. On the 4SP however I agree. The charm of this mech is that you have HP in both side torsos.

So... you go like 1.6KPH faster than me without speed tweak. Thats indeed a great speed boost.
Cored? ... I only get cored when my side torsos are gone.

I was comparing the 255XL to the Std 200. It is indeed a speed and HS boost.

Forgive me if I am not having fun right.

I wouldn't even run them in this case, just because if you're real proactive about using your crap-torso/arm as a shield, you can distribute damage and lose the LT before you lose your RT/CT.
