Put in place a game mechanic that when someone fires 2 or more high caliber ballistic weapons(Gauss or AC20) that the recoil overpowers the mechs internal gyro and it cannot move for X amount of seconds. No locomotion and no turning the chassis or torso. As a way to compensate for the recoil forces put in the option for a larger gyro that weighs x tons more because of the larger rotor/gimbal ETC.

Another mechanic that could be added is if someone elects to continue to use a standard gyro and the mech fires multiple large caliber weapons with x amount of seconds, the mech topples over and is prone for x amount of seconds and can do nothing until it rights itself.

this would balance out the gauss/ac20 k2. i think this should be tied to mech weight, so that a cicada that crams on an ac20 will get knocked over as well. i would also have it so small mechs have issues controlling their aim through the recoil of some of the weapons.

Willie has a point. don't be that guy.
