What do you think about adding one more slot to each leg? Maybe just heavies and Assaults.

[Star Colonel Mustard Kerensky]

No, you aren't supposed to be able to put DHS there (or in the CT). It's by design.

As long as we get to remove a crit slot from each arm to balance it back out.

My jenner has more crit slots than my Atlas.


This makes Tons of sense.

[Grraarrgghh]

Oh no! God forbid we have to create mechs within CONSTRAINTS!

How will I ever make my 6xERPPC Stalker viable now?

This makes Tons of sense.

your jenner also can't aim as well with it's arms - missing 2 actuators from each.

so.. it actually does make tons of sense.

Because lights having ability to install every upgrade while heavies are able to take only 1-2 is balance...

My legs are for ammo so no thx.

i like to actually consider if its worth upgrading to double heat sink because i will end up whit crit slot issue if i do. (most cases it is)

Well.. to be fair, DHS are (by design) supposed to have double the heat dissipation of standard heat-sinks.

No. The whole pont in their having constrictive space is to reduce Optimization for things like DHS.

[PiemasterXL]

I'm with the OP, we need less Crit slots in each mech, crit slots need the nerf bat.

Yeah but you are supposed to be able to put weapons in legs by design to make room for the DHS.

Atlases sufffer greatly from having their weapon hardpoints in arms and torso locations because they cant mount as many DHS as they rightfully should be able to.

wrong. They can mount exactly as many double heat sinks as they should be able to. Weapons CAN go in legs - but none of the current variants in the game seem to have weapon hardpoints in the legs. Not sure if any of them should (by canon) have hardpoints in the legs or not - but then again - almost anything in the legs would hit the dirt hill you're hiding behind anyways.

[Joseph Mallan]

There are rules for this, but you'd probably not like the implementation. Light Mechs loose Crits cause they are small. Mediums have the normal amount. Heavies and Assaults have more crits accordingly.

No, then they could cram DHS in the legs.
