Is armored components worth the weigh on the table top, ie. gyro,XL engine, light fusion engine, capacitor?

I do think armored components could be worth it, particularly on the Cockpit but other locations as well that are particularly problematic with a lucky thru-crit.

It really depends on component and purpose. An armored cockpit is almost always good. And armored gyro is helpful but weighty. Armored stuff on a aquatic mech can delay the effects of breaches (depending on ruling). But an armored Thumper is a waste of tonnage.

I personally love armored hip and shoulder actuators to prevent the first “blow off limb” crit; armored engines and gyros to help prevent that first hit against those components, and armored cockpits for the same.
