Anyone else noticed that AC/2s fire missiles? Something I really never noticed till I started rolling around in a Jagermech as they are mounted infront of your face.

Also Tourmaline desert tends to cause leg damage on load in due to ye old drop from to high on game start.

What? As in self propelled? I'm both dubious and excited at the same time.

Engineer "let's make a cannon"
Other engineer "booooring"
Engineer "But THIS cannon shoots missiles!"
Other engineer "SOLD! FIRE UP CAD!"
Engineer "AND MAYBE THE MISSILES COULD ALSO SHOOT CANNONS!"
Other engineer "Settle down George Lucas, this is already pushing the envelope of believable. Let's not jump the shark just yet"

Wait, really? No way.

Reminds me of the GAU-8. That gun is so awesome they made a plane just so it could fly!



(okay, yeah, it's a joke)

Seriously, load up a Jager with AC/2s and hold down the trigger in the training grounds, you will see a constant after image of missiles leaving your ac/2.

If I wasn't such a nub I'd figure out how to get a screenshot..

They're Sabot rounds, bro.

UAC5 shoots missile looking things too.

[Skunk Wolf]

Gyro-jet rifles. Recoilless Rifles. Shillelagh gun missile system. Rapira's missile systems. 40mm grenade launchers. There are tons of real world weapons that look like guns that technically shoot rockets or similar. I'd just like there to be more variety in auto-canon projectiles within their respective classes. 30mm Burst fire AC20 anyone?

Sabot rounds require tail fins to be smaller than the cartridge it rides in, also having smaller and more plentiful nose fins serves no point.

It's either a poorly done sabot round or more likely.. a missile

[Megalosauroid]

Being able to see the shells spawn in front of your gun barrel as you fire in the jagermech annoys the **** out of me. It makes no sense.

[Vapor Trail]

Yeah I noticed this. Was thinking about making a screenshot and film...

My major problem with this is that the "missiles" (including fins) are larger in diameter than barrels they're being shot from.

[Moromillas]

Well, you could say the shell looks like a dart, pretty easy to make that mistake I guess.

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

Noticed it and forgot about it when I went to other builds. I hope they keep it if it's unintentional.

[Hobietime]

Yeah, it's been around since closed beta. I think all ballistics are using the missile mesh.

Or maybe someone at pgi just really likes sabot rounds.

If so they should add some sabot particles that come out of the barrel as well.

Holy crap! I see it!



Edit: totally not my video. I stole it from here.... Somewhere.
