all goes back to the hardpoint vs tube conflict with missile salvo assignments. This normalizes the tubes - in that, you now physically have the tubes to fire those extra missiles, but does really weird **** to the whole 'door' mechanic. Would it have been so hard to simply enlarge the box? That's what the 20-tube catapult is FOR, after all.

Oh, that's right, nobody wants to pack large launchers, just bunches of small ones.

LRMs will never be fixed. This is just another symptom.

So much truth in these set of statements.

lol ... this looks ... cute. The 6 Streaker Cat looks like it could flap away.

Edit: I just don't get the sense of the missile cover anymore for LRM's if they stack it below the launcher and on the side of it. Isn't that the intention of the cover? Making it less vulnerable?

This is a HUGE buff to catapults that use mixed SRM/LRM loadouts as the direct fire weapons no longer use the door delay.

Otherwise a little odd. Hadn't noticed till this thread encouraged me to look at previous Catapults.

Here you go, the lower rack is a single row if you fit an SRM or LRM 5 there...

[Amsro]

HAHA the A1 is completely F'd indeed, 6 streaks... apparently on 2 fit in the missile box.

PGI made a big error here.

Luckily I mastered the C4 like months ago.

Too bad it was not as painful as this monstrosity.

Lol, please put in more effort pgi, and I expect big gun barrels for my cicada and raven.

That is an abomination of design. wtf.

[Iacov]

please PGI, fix the Catapult's arms
the missiles tubes look aweful - they look like no one really tried to make something original, just a quick-fire at adding visual tubes

and the once beautiful and intimidating K2 ppcs now look embarrasing

[Wolfways]

I hate the new PPC's. They look tiny now
But after seeing PPC barrels on a Locust i'm not surprised tbh.

[Iacov]

anyone else in the mood for a "reverse C1/C4/A1/K2-arm changes"-petition?

[Alexandrix]

Just had to have an open hard point system didn't you? just had to be able to cram anything in any hardpoint as long as you had the number and type,huh?

Well,congrats,your catapult now looks like it fell asleep on the street outside of a chop shop in mexico.Enjoy.

The new ppc's are particularly ******* stupid.

I thought I was done facepalming over MWO,yet PGI continues to find ways to make me sigh and shake my head.

There is something I feel the need to say about this change....I think the idea behind it is correct but the current system isn't smart enough. So yes, the Catapult and every other mech should show the correct number of missile tubes and If everything below 15/20 tubes would be inside the launcher and everything above it stays as an addon, there would be no reason to complain.
6 SSRM2 should fit, 6 SRM4 too, but 6 SRM6 means you're freeballing 2 SRM6, not 4. And yes, using 2LRM 15 and 4 LRM10 means you're getting extensions like a little girl. There is just no way around it besides ignoring the problem.

actually, I have a friend who played with those things and the door mechanic EXTENDS to those addons.

yeah, another facepalm

[Muffinator]

My catapult has a cupboard on each shoulder. He's helping his mate move house, nothin wierd

[Blackfang]

Sorry PGI, but this is just plain wrong. It looks terrible. You honestly can't tell me you thought that looked good enough to release like that?

[a little fluffy bunny]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

PGI...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...





Covered it quite succinctly I think

[EvilCow]

Pure genius, they should have added some more tubes under the crotch too.

On a positive note, I am glad they have development bandwidth to spare and do changes like that.
