In beta 15 they reworked the MECs significantly, actually buffing them heavily. With the new 4 classes and the skill reworks they added 8 new MEC classes. Now pertaining to your answer I'm going to say that the health bonuses for MEC builds 1,2 and 3 are 10,14,and 18 respectively. Now the first iteration is 10, then 2 and 3 are unlocked with the next research, and 4-7 are upgrades of those. ufopaedia.org/index.phptitle=Armor_(Long_War)#MEC_Armor The problem is not health its in the time and resources to go for them. | |

Overwatch shots go to the mech, you spot units, and move all your foot soldiers accordingly. Personally I haven't used them. I preferred gene mods. Nicely written question by the way. | |
