Yea?...well....the Catapult has doors covering it's missiles, I don't see the Ebon Jag doing that. HA! Score one for the Catapult!

For now. Chances are those doors will be taken away with this upcoming "fix." They took the Cent's away, along with its fantastic gun arm and the Vindicators never got a missile door in the first place. VCR missile pods will be switched out for laser-Legos and doorless missile pods, wait and see.

No doors, or VCRs... eh I'd not mind. aside from the King Crab, what has coverings other then the CAT right now?

[Scratx]

Actually, there's a good chance the doors can stay. It's not like you need a door per launcher and have it be dynamically sized and positioned based on which launchers you have.

[Bloodweaver]

Scratx, you're using logic and reason, which is not the PGI way. You say there's a good chance the CPLT's door will stay. Well, there was never any chance the doors would disappear on the Centurion - they had no reason to remove them other than that it made modeling the new missile hardpoints easier.

Frosty: (non-Misery) Stalker arms and Kintaro CTs still have doors.

Kintaro doors crack me up every time I see them in operation.

Broken geometry Catapults self detonating in shame.

I think the doors will stay ONLY because of how iconic those doors are. The Centurion's doors were really obscure IMO. I didn't even know the Centurions even had missile doors.

Now, I will say this. I think the doors should stay if the hard point is LRM equipped. If the hard point is SRM equipped, remove the door.

Lots of devotion to an iconic BT mech that has been so wronged....so wronged.

Oh please.

Just get a mad dog if you want to vomit missiles

The Mad Dog is a good mech, but it isn't as cool as a Catapult . The Mad Dog also has it's own problems and yet no long running thread about it's issues. Huh.

Anyway, the haters can post if they want (everyone is entitled to their opinion), it just helps keep the thread on the first page .

The only issue you have with the catapult is purely cosmetic...

Like, honestly...

Large VCR missile pods may be very ugly cosmetically, but they also greatly increase the surface area of the pods (more so than ever intended). With fully equipped missile hard points, the A1 has arms larger than the torso of some small mechs. Worse yet, once the very easy to destroy arms are gone, the A1 is weaponless.

So yes, it is partly cosmetic. It is also a huge nerf to a chassis that does not need to be nerfed like that.

[Damien Tokala]

You are piloting a mech that essentially has two houses on it, and you think that another inch or two is why I keep shooting them off?

I shoot them off because it's both tactical, and... Well... It's the size of a house...

We can't restore the Star League with a Catapult in this condition.
