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

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.

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.

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?

"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... :(
