I came here to say "Whooo i fucking LOVE Mechwarrior and cannot wait to get back in the pilot seat!!"
But i read some of the above comments and was like: Faith in humanity -10.
You're apparently not a Battletech (read: NOT mechwarrior ) player. Part of what makes the game balanced is its random hits. You can't (with a few exceptions with extreme penalties) focus fire on a location with any weapon. So even a full salvo can just pepper the entire enemy mech. Mechwarrior series allows every weapon to hone in on crosshairs like the finger of f-ing god. This means you can focus fire locations which means having armor anywhere but the legs means nothing.
In Battletech this was a major balancing point and it does not exist in Mechwarrior. Something you Video Game Johnny-come-lately's don't get.
as a final point I'll refer to your own comment.
"...Battletech (read: NOT mechwarrior )..."
ergo ^this <> ^this
so thinking they should be that similar is inherently flawed
