Yep. They have a low enough trajectory under there and Crimson Straight Deck to hit targets. Pretty cool.
Cool wasn't the four letter word I was using last night...

LOL. It looks pretty chincy. It's basically a small, slow Trebuchet. What's so special about it, other than JJ's and a 30% CBill boost?
It's kinda' cute though. It looks like a baby Victor. lol

NOOOOooooooo~! Why no new map? Whyyyyyyy?!
Vindicator seems like a just a bad blackjack. Only one has any ballistics and if you're going to use missiles and lasers, why not get a kintaro, a trebuchet or literally any of the phoenix mediums? At least it looks pretty... I guess.... (ಠ_ಠ)

WE NEED A NEW MAP!!!
I've played Caustic Valley 87 times, and Terra Therma 92 times. If I reach 100 with either before the next patch, I'll beat my mech's head against a wall!

Beat your mech's head against a wall? Sounds like me piloting a Jenner!

My Map Stats:
Forest Colony: 42
Forest Colony Snow: 34
Frozen City: 23
Frozen City Night: 31
River City: 34
River City Night: 36
Alpine Peaks: 55
Canyon Network: 59
.
.
.
Wait for it...
.
.
.
Caustic Valley: 81
Tourmaline Desert: 88
Terra Therma: 77
Crimson Strait: 79
HPG Manifold: 81
...Anyone notice anything odd there?
Now, some may argue that the Forest Colony Maps and Company are all one and the same but with different graphics, and that they should be added together. Assuming such, it would look like this:
Forest Colony Total: 76
Frozen City Total: 54
River City Total: 70
I don't like lumping them into totals though because, to me, they feel like different maps due to the different conditions present. Even totaling them, Alpine Peaks and Canyons only pop up every once in a while, comparatively speaking.
My least favorites are Caustic Valley, HPG Manifold, Alpine Peaks, Frozen City, and both River Cities.
Fortunately, I really enjoy Terra Therma, Crimson Strait, and Tourmaline. Forest Colony, one of the oldest and one of my favorite maps in the game, hardly ever appears for me.
I hope PGI will release some new maps soon! I'm tired of playing the same ones all the time, especially when it's the same five that keep dominating the rest by a substantial margin!

So...some people think it's a good idea to implement min ranges for all weapon systems and have started a thread over in the Feature Suggestions sub-forum. 8 people have voted yes; I'm the only one who's said no so far.
Their suggestions are interesting but complicated. I think it will just develop into needless complications and a buggy system. Check it out here: http://mwomercs.com/...73#entry3655573
By the way, one person tried to convince me that RL bullets do have minimum ranges by arguing that you can't shoot something behind the gun. I had to explain to him that's not the definition of "range."

Apparently physics isn't one of their strong points either.
Bullets follow different "rules and laws of physics" than tank shells and gauss slugs. Uhhhh... No? Physics is physics there's no "special physics for bullets and not tank shells."
Non-self-propelled projectiles all act the same in flight. Gauss rifles use magnets to propel the slug. Cannons and small cannons aka. rifles use compressed gas from the explosive for propellant. Once in flight, it doesn't matter if it's a baseball or a bullet as long as it can't propel itself. All that really matters in flight is drag/lift, spin, velocity (speed and direction), momentum (mass of surrounding objects for something like "the Coriolis effect") and normal force (mass and gravity)... from what I remember. I ain't no physics major.
The only point they have is something like the Dragon shooting the light on its head or a Jager that shouldn't be able to shoot things that are very close because the aiming servos are physically restricted by the design of the mech to converge the weapons that much. Lasers should be fine since they would have multiple lenses and you'd be able to refract them in really any direction you wanted.
