Kill the RT and you get rid of all the direct fire weapons ????? Who would design a mech that way? I don't see how it's possible for the designers in lore to make such a terrible design flaw and for the higher powers that be at PGI to think it's a good idea to keep it that way.

If this game wasn't there already, it is now....PAY TO WIN.

I'm going to name all my highlanders half-a-mech.

sooooo like all the atlas variants?

[Tie Ma]

[Royalewithcheese]

Torso twist is your friend.

[Mizore]

Ahm... do you know that SRMs are also direct fire weapons?

Line of sight and that stuff... you know?

I have a YLW and everybody aims for my right arm. As soon as it's gone, I'm left with 2 ML's, but I'm not complaining

[Kinjikai]

Hmm, aim with right torso then twist to avoid damage on that side,,,
where have I heard of that sort of thing before......

I'm pretty sure there are several designs somewhere out there that has a similar problem,, I think

The Hunchback Committee for Symmetrical Hard Points would like you to be their next guest speaker.

[RockWolf]

Well, Goose is right. Pay to win, because the Hero mech is actually better .

Are you daft?

If you blow out a torso on an Atlas you have no direct fire weapons left?

That's 2 energy points better than the highlander.

Unless you pay money that is.

[OneManWar]

Well this is an intelligent post OP... I'm gonna go this way before my brain fries.

This implies you are going to buy all the Highlanders.

After you started a thread entitled "Highlanders are Garbage".

Not even close to the same thing not to mention that there is a symmetrical hunchback option. Every highlander has nothing but missiles on it's left side.

I have Heavy Metal. I am looking forward to that AC/20...and also not having all my ballistics/energy in arms anymore.

Also, I cannot wait to be able to pilot a non-pink Highlander finally.

The MC only highlander has a much better hardpoint layout.

[Roland]

Eh, I kind of prefer mechs that have their weapons on one side, as it makes it easier to soak damage, especially on high alpha builds... you just keep the garbage side pointed at them, and let them beat the crap out of it.

That's assuming the Heavy Metal is better than every other mech in the game and actually you know, means you don't lose.

I won't disagree that the Heavy Metal is better though.
