That’s definitely likely to bring about an improvement for some of the players, I actually forget which mechs are directly replaceable, which can take a VAM1202 despite not being originally fitted with one, and which are just not fixable. I feel a table coming on… (though not soon as work is flipping nuts right now! Must not browse forum during lunch 
)
If it’s of any use to keep track in a nice way I’ll try and add to/maintain this one
work in progress, may contain errors!
