That would still make more sense to me compared to what we have now. If there was any compromise, I could tolerate larger launchers. Instead we get a tacked on audio/video entertainment center on the existing launchers.

Yes, we need to take up the cause. The Catapult has been getting visualy brutalized with each weapon tweak. Makes me sad

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Yeah the Catapults look a bit doofy.

I THINK WE SHOULD BOLT MORE MISSILE LAUNCHERS ONTO THE EXTRA BOLT ON MISSILE LAUNCHERS AND THEN WE CAN BOLT MORE MISSILE LAUNCHERS ONTO THOSE AND PLAY JENGA, TETRIS AND PEE ON THE MECH DESIGN ALL AT ONCE!

That almost approached 'Yo Dawg'.

Greetings my brethren in disgust. 33 pages of discussion and still no reaction from PGI? Sigh, I thought my topic about Catapult CPLT-C4 visuals will be noted, lol. Though it would be nice, I really wish for Catapults visuals revamp.

never, never expect anything from these noobvelopers, never

all u can expect to hear from PGI is "down the road bla bla", at best

[zudukai]

at least a post would help

Between the vulnerabilities balance a mostly-missile loadout leaves you with and the stupid VCRs plus the fact that you can't control which launcher goes where, it's almost like they want us to hate the multi-missile Catapults. After stripping the streaks from my A1 out of ECM-induced frustration, I tried a few other builds, but when the bug in launcher locations made it so I couldn't keep some missiles in the main boxes and some in the VCRs as I wanted, I just stripped the mech and put it away. I play for fun, not frustration. It's a mech with so many inherent weaknesses thanks to the derpy nature of missiles they should be begging me to run it, not giving me burst bloodvessels when trying to make it suck less.

This looks kind of good to me.

I've run a similar setup before (2 PPCs, 2MLasers, 2 SRM4+Art). I wish the missile launchers looked like that.

That's the load out I run on my Founder's Cat since missiles are so unreliable. PPCs as main weapons, 2 medium lasers for close range backup, and two LRM5s for suppression and indirect fire opportunities. I don't even mind that the ears are too big for LRM5s, at least they're VCR and wart free.

Ugh, What Could Have Been.

[zudukai]

i still hope that the timberwolf - d will get low profile launchers too....

[Mavairo]

PGI will read this and the other Kitty threads and go "THEY NEED EVEN BIGGER EARS"

>that catapult image above<

is that a locust? xD (I know it's not.)
With those giant PPC's it kinda looks like a light mech.

But yes, launchers like that is what we should have. It makes so much more sense and looks a thousand times better.

On the plus side, the new PPCs look good, and mounting them in the side torso looks really slick. Nice also to see a dedicated flamer model, for what they're worth...


PPC and AC2




Flamer and UAC5

the k2 was a definite upgrade:).
