Oh, we've been here all along. Just recently we got an actual reason of our own to be here, not just to support you lot.

We don't mind sharing the thread. Fighting the good fight against bad geometry doesn't start and end with the Catapult, there are many mechs who's plight needs to be recognized.

They will decrease the size of the body, but the ears will remain the same :D

The ears will actually increase in order to keep the same width and height.

Well, they still are.

As long as you're talking about the Clan SSRMs.

That Catapult just transformed into a Creeper LOL.

Maybe the Creeper should be the unofficial mascot of the terrible Catapult A1 ears :D

23. "And the lamentations of the Mechwarriors reached up unto the heavens, and verily, Kerensky stepped forth from the multitude and spake thus, saying in a loud voice 'Rescale that which you have made too large, and fix the dynamic geometry while you're at it'. And the host took up the cry, and made a forum thread more than seventy pages long, and dressed their mechs in stock camo and ash grey colors."

24. "Lo, the cries of the Mechwarriors were finally heard upon the Twitter, and the developers closed their ears and hoped that the clamor would cease."

25. "And for two years the Mechwarriors kept up their posts, until at last the Russ relented and heeded the words of the great Kerensky. And so the Mechwarriors await the time of the Great Rescaling, and the Fixed Dynamic Geometry. There are those who say 'Verily, the new dynamic geometry will be worse' and those who shout 'Rescale the Quickdraw!'; but a remnant of a remnant of the Mechwarriors keep the faith and bide; knowing that the promised time will come at last, in the final days, and that again the Catapult will be restored to the C1 ears, and the K2 will be restored to the fullness of its PPC barrels. Thus sayeth the Word of Kerensky, and so say we all."

-The book of Catapults, verses 23-25.

Well, there's a new "I've seen what I cannot unsee" moment. I wonder if a Minecraft mod for eye arrows could be made... also topic must never die, rise to the surface and terrorise the masses!

Do you remember a time when the Catapult had appropriately sized missile launchers?

Peppridge Farms remembers.

Yes. Yes I do.

I even remember a time before it had the tack-on launchers; a time when the C1 and C4 had different sized ear boxes on account of the C1 coming with LRM-15s and the C4 with LRM-20s.

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd fight our Cats forever and a day
We'd drop the build we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and Catapults looked good.

"Fix" fear and hope all mixed in one terrible mix.

Also I can't understand what he says after fix the catapult.

should be order dependent, like getting PPCs to mount in the high torso position instead of low position on a BLR or QKD. Put the 10 on first.


It is. I changed how the SSRM2 and ASRM4 are fitted to my A1C by changing their order like that. Also, I think that you don't have to open the missile hatches to shoot the SRMs when you're out of ALRM ammo.
