Another Mech Upgrade Issue

I have 2 Mechs I'm upgrading at the same time. The last 9 consecutive upgrades have all been energy weapon upgrades. Is it possible the radimization has stuck? Each time a heavier energy weapon is added it takes away more armor. At the rate we're going I'll have negative armor by the end of the week.

mech upgrades are random.
however after the amount of upgrades i have actually seen i CAN tell you they will follow a pattern.
if a weapon gets upgraded once, there is a high chance it will get upgraded again. if you get heat sink effeciency, there is a high chance you will get more.
while im no shade, i do have a fairly extensive collection of upgraded mechs and can honestly say ive spent close to 30 billion on a single mech (reset it twice).
while you are getting a heavier weapon, it may be a a better weapon per ton than its original. i have an OSR-2m with a 15 damage lrm 10 that weighs 7.5 tonnes. the offeset to losing armor is usually getting multipliers.

I had a Mad that after 2 upgrades got 2 added ac5s (with ammo) , it lost armor in the process meaning it has less armor than a locust..

I have seen a MAD 4A with 4 points CT and an AC 25 with 15 rounds of ammo.
*Devlin is kinda afraid of this mech if the CT ever gets fixed.

i havew a MAD with 0 armour but reduced damage from all weapon types. kinda wasn't the trade off I was looking for
--edit--
It does make you wonder why i continued upgrading it really other than trying to fix the armor
