All I know that will upset a lot of people here, is that they're going to nerf the Awesome a bit.
- All variants of the Awesome except for Pretty Baby had their turning rate decreased by 5%
To offset that Awesomes have: - The AWS-8Q, AWS-8R, AWS-8T, and AWS-8V had their max engine rating increased from 290 to 300 - All variants of the Awesome had their torso twist angles increased from 90 to 100 degrees - All variants of the Awesome had the speed of their torso movements (both vertical and horizontal) increased by 10%
That ain't no nerf! As Garth pointed out in the MWO forums, if you stick a 300 engine in, you get that 5% back. And all of the other additions make up for that anyhow. Add to that the lowered heat on PPC/ERPPC, LPL, ERLL, etc, the Awesome is benefitting from these changes :)
BTW, sorry for not responding to your text in Raid last night Kurupt... I was afk when you sent it and when I came back we jumped into a game and I forgot :)

So they turn slower, but get bigger engines, twist and angle futher and faster. Kind of sounds like a fair trade to me.
