Hunchback IIC-A
Hi all,
So based on the training, I picked up a HBK-IIC-A and I've been tinkering around with it lately and here's what I came up with-
2 ER Lrg
4 ER Med
Targeting Comp Mk I
11 Dbl Heatsinks (1 in the Engine)
Armor = 326/338 (Ferro-Fibrous)
XL 275 Engine
Only 2x Class IV Jump Jets
Alfa Strike = 50
Heat Mgmt = 1.28
Speed = 89.1
So the main thing I decided to try and change was the Engine size from the base to improve it's overall speed. I wasn't happy with the stock what... 64.8 Kph. The sacrifice was 2 Jump Jets and 1 Dbl Heat sink along with a Targeting Comp Mk II from what I was using previously. But oddly enough, going up in engine size plus having 1 slot to drop a Dbl heat sink in it vice taking up slots in an arm or torso actually improved my Heat Mgmt from 1.24 to 1.28.
I haven't run it yet in a match... I'll do that shortly. I'm not sure if the sacrifice of Jump height will be a good trade vs. boosting my top speed to 89.1 Kph.
Anyone have any thoughts? Please share

Ok,
So... when participating in training with CWI on Wednesdays & Sunday nights, I can confirm that the desired engine for use when operating the HBK-IIC-A is the XL 275 so all are running at the same speed when on a drop.
