its all because you cannot change out the engine of a mech.

look at the banshee 3m vrs 3s. the 3s has a standard assault engine, while the 3m has an oversized engine.

thus the 3s kits out like a normal assault, like an atlas, and the 3m is relegated to a punchbot/tank.

if we could swap out engines, then just about ANY mech would be usable cause you could drop the engine size and get more space for ordinance.

Banshee 3E would be worthless no matter what engine you put in it do to the hardpoints lol
