I put my SRM6s back on my A1 today, after doing testing in the public test server, getting ready for Tuesday.
(LRM 30 SRM 24 baby)
I cried at the horrific tumors that are some how even worse than the 4s were.

Keep this thread going! The catapults were so beautiful, and they need to be so again. This must be fixed!

I'm hoping, but PGI seems slow to notice. They have more important things to do then fix their modeling mistakes I suppose.

This case is all about tastes but in my opinion the atlas ac/gaus type looks better, the bad thing is they left no space for the torso energy hard point, but the important thing is the unequipped arms. Definitely more difficult to fix than the painfully looking VCRs.

I'll give you an A+ for effort, but I really don't want my Catapult looking like a giant Cicada. :)

I think PGI is affraid a proper looking Catapult would look TOO awesome compared to the Timberwolf. They need to keep the Catapult looking janky so as not to take away Timberwolf sales :)

Yea, I don't believe that either LOL.

Yea, hard to say.

I also with that if you cut the armor value on the missile pods to 75% of max or lower, the doors would go away. How nice would it be to have a catapult without missile doors getting in the way? Yea they can be locked open, but why make a big target even bigger.

Actually, why is this in General Discussion rather than Feature Suggestion. But yea, Catapult arms really need a fix

I sold all my Catapults (only kept the Jester) because they just didn't fit my play style. I bought them originally because they just looked so awesome. Now I see what's been done to them by some idiotic fool makes me cry for those that do enjoying playing them too.

Note: I am not using "idiotic fool" to generally dis the devs as seems to be all the rage these days but instead to single out those responsible for what is a specific occurrence of what can only be described as nothing short of idiocy. Any sane person can see that the Catapult has missile boxes...you know..to put missiles in... This same idiocy applies to the Griffin 1N; put an LRM15 and 2xSSRM in it and after you save it will switch your LRM15 to the lowest 10 tube spot and stick one of the SSRM2s in the 20 tube shoulder mount. That is just idiotic, another specific instance, there is no excuse for that.

I still hope we get a better Visual for the Catapult Racks and PPCs (i realy hate that tiny ppcs..) now after we got the Clanmechs (they should now have a little more time for rework again).
Maybe i wont touch my IS Mechs for a while (24 Mechs to master) but when i do, i hope the Catapult got a little rework.
