They are the only mech to have a sideways pilot ejection system. Beat that.

Only sad thing is, none of my mechs seem to have working ejection system. :)

Viable Kamikaze tactic for a chance to score one last head shot?

"Hohoho! What's that? I'm about to die? Hmm well I guess I'll just turn around annd faace thee oootherr waaaaaaaaaaaa- SURPRISE" *PSCHEWWW!!!!!*



Other than that. I don't understand sideways eject. IT SOUNDS LIKE you would enter a ballistic arc and eventually slam into the ground with no way to slow or break your fall/decent. Unless you are getting launched out at a 60 or so degree angle and you are riding a LRM into the sky so you are high enough to deploy a parachute at least.

i'm sure there's plenty of pilots out there who you would secretly want to see ejected into a building

we need this implemented ASAP

I would LOVE to see a working ejection system or at least video once your mech destroyed. If they do though, the Cat NEEDS to have a sideways eject!

Does it counts as two kills if the pilot ejects into a mountain wall?

It could be worse. It could have the ejection system from the early F104 Starfighters, lol. Then again...it *would* be fun to watch.
