However I always wanted a unique barrel for a large laser. Bring back the old barrel for PPCs, and use the new barrel for Large lasers. Medium lasers can have the nubby sawed off look.

I mentioned this in another thread about the horror that is now the Catapult Missle pods. Use the old models for the PPCs and the new Models for lasers. I hate the new "bump" lasers when the new PPC barrels look great as lasers

Russ said on Twitter that it was being addressed, but no specifics.

Yeah. I hate the new missile pods for the catapult too. It makes the arms twice as big as before and just looks bad. All they had to do was use the 15 tube box for any load out with 15 missiles or less, then use the 20 tube box for load outs with more than 15 tubes. That way all they had to do was create a different facing for the missile box.

They've altered some of the ballistics on the K2 since the change, but no idea if they're going to fix the other issues with the Catapult missile boxes and energy weapons.

...But in the grand scheme of things, I'd much rather they tackle getting big issues like UI 2.0 and ComWar out of the way before aesthetics and other issues that don't hold much bearing to the actual game.

Spline would be much better. It seems silly they didn't use one, particular since it wouldn't need many points to approximate any decent line shape missiles in this game would take.
The actual issue is that they've probably never heard of a spline function for estimating line shapes. Heck, I only know about them from slap-dash baseline corrections in data processing.

Let me tell you a little story.
Some time ago i play with my catapults. I had so much fun with them that they was my most played mechs from 30 mechs i had.
Then the Hero Catapult shows up and i was thinking
"wow a jump jet laserboat hero of my farvorite chassi! Must have!"
But then... after i bought it, i saw the tiny ppcs
"what? Why?.. k then i must switch the lasers from the torso to the arms.."
after switching the lasers with the ppcs the next shock
"whoooooot... why are there t1ts on my catapult??"
I checked my k2 what they did with the ballistics.
"Phew k ballistics looking good letz check the Missles" ... "WTF? What happened to my splatapult?? Even 3xssrm2 make it to this bulgy monster?...."
This day was the last day where my catapults saw a battlefield. Even the Jester getting some dust.
They did such a great work with the hunchback and all the other mechs... but why looks the catapult now so ugly?

New ones let me question why the arm behind the barrel stays so big. Voted "Yes".
