if mechs who dont have lower arm and hand actuators are the only ones that can mount ac20s on their arms, what about mechs that only have 1? like the len yo wang. it has functioning arm and one that acts like a cannon, but both cannot move left or right. another example could be the highlander coming out. it has one that acts as a cannon and one that's a fuctioning arm. its gonna hinder the mech drastically if you cant move either. i'm not sure if they have said anything about this. i just thought it was an interesting question

Arm twist? :lol: sounds painful!

After rereading your post a couple times, I'm still not quite sure what it is about. Could you be more clear in your question?

As far as I know, the Highlander will have a lower arm actuator, and will not be able to mount an AC20. So the issue of having two different arm reticles will not be one they have to deal with yet.

I think he's talking about the arms being able to move left and right (the ones with the lower arm actuator things)

ya sorry it was alittle confusing. im talking about the lower arm and hand actuators like omni said. without it the mechs arms cant twist left and right, only up and down (like the catapult, jager, stalker, and YLW) but if what Warrax said is true, then it doesnt really matter ATM.
