PGI, if you will fix the Catapult geometry, I'll thank you by buying a Mastery pack. Ball is in your court.

If the A1 had been in the old tf movie hot rod would have fixed him before kup.Send the cat to the planet of junk.

something something, "after all the 'mechs have dynamic geometry". i get the feeling they're not sure how to do some things and want to buy time.

They dont know how missile doors work. They have bought quite a big amount of time considering the beginning of this thread at 2013

Just bumping this as a reminder that even post nerf the SCR and TBR are still better off than the catapults.

mad dogs are worse probably though

I don't think so. The Mad Dog's launchers are torso mounted if I recall. The launchers arent hanging off either side of the mech like 2 mini Awesomes. It isn't hard to blow an A1's arms off when they are that big.

The Mad Dog's side torsos are a bit soft, but they aren't large targets sticking out in the open. Plus the Mad dog could lose both arms and a side torso and still have launchers. A Catapult A1 with similar damage has no weapons and is either dead (IS XL) or a weaponless walking stick.

Mad Dog has it better.

Nearly the same angle as the new picture.

Look how much smaller that LRM15 was.....

Shiit didn't remember the ears were different sized with lrm20s

Yeah, back then we had REAL "variable geometry" on the Cat.

Will there be a little Catapult A1 called "Tiny Tim" with a couple of crutchs holding up it's giant missile racks?

[zudukai]

has anyone had any information about the timeliness/timeframe of the other chassis geometry?

"After CW" - which I guess is the same as "soon™" and "90 days™".

We'll probably get Half-Life 3 before we have our 'mechs re-done.

Sorry guys, I found what could be the inspiration for the CPLT geometry, and it's lore...
