Sorry, I know, but i don't want to see this thread dead

Never forget.

Forgotten? Never.

There are a number of IS mechs that are not consistently being used in matches by the community because of issues like this. The cats ears are already huge targets, they didn't need to be increased to such a ridiculous size.

They could use the current launchers with big holes srm 2/4, lrm 5 for the visual implementation of a future Arrow IV Artillery. Who knows it could be a really good replacer/add on for the actual artillery consumable system, or just a cool new weapon, and it could make a lot of sense.

P.D. mechlab treatment for the raven, this is how a lrm20 looks.

I think we need more comparison shots with other mechs LRM20s.

Look PGI, even five goddamn Arrow IV missiles FIT INSIDE THE PODS!

Poor thing actually looks more like a (baby) Catapult than the Catapult does these days... At least its launchers haven't spouted VCRs and warts.

The other day i asked about the catapult lrms to Matt Newman and this is what i get:
"They are on the list"

It's something.

[DEN_Ninja]

I need more than its on a freaking list.

I want fixies.

Chill. This thread needs to remain alive to remind PGI it's not forgotten, but we're probably only going to get the catapult restored/fixed once they're done with geometry passes on the mechs that haven't gotten them yet.

Priorities. :/

Even if we disagree with them.

Anyway... yeah, I want my LRM15 Founder Cat back.

[Malleus011]

While I appreciate that Battletech came outta the 80's, and I do like things to follow the lore and the spirit of the game, I don't much like have Betamaxes strapped to my Catapult's missile launchers.

What else we can do? this thread is our last hope. . .

Now that srms are back I found myself turning my Catapult-A1 into a splat cat.

Please revise this so my 18 srm tubes can fit inside the arm missile boxes! kthanks!

[MATRAKA14]

I was using the A1 as a splat cat, but when I was thinking on making some use of the C4 I set it with 4 srm 6+A, 2 ml/mpl and a std 300, for my surprise the thing was good, at some points better than the standard A1 splatcat with xl, the std engine and the ML max range makes it more durable and able to make defensive fire in non optimum ranges, i like it, its the only good build that I manage to make with it, cause its really bad with lrms. now my A1 packs the common 6 lrm 5+A, and it's extremely good depending on the map, and more reliable/successful than the standar A1 splat cat (probably cause the long range firefights with clans)

Those 2 mechs need desperately the fix of the extra launchers, the C1 also needs or the old small launchers or a QUALITY dynamic missile launcher, smaller or bigger when its needed, for last the k2/jester needs something when has nothing in the ears.
I remarc the word "quality" because we need a definitive fix, able to stand and look as nice as the mech design it self (honestly it was one of the best looking mechs in the game), a fix made with rush and duct tape it's not acceptable at all, we are waiting, almost a year for a fix. we still need to wait until 7 more mechs get the mechlab treatment this can take a long time.. at least catapults could be the first mech getting the "refinement".

It looks like a baby Catapult LOL. Cute little guy...

I'm suprised it's 20 missiles in one pod. If it had the Catapult treatment, there would be 3 or 4 VCRs hanging off that arm LOL.

Close enough

I think we need to talk to the art team. Like real bad.

This doesn't bother me, they were always separate sections. If anything, I am a bit annoyed that large LRM racks fit at all and the port diameter is shrunk to accommodate. Ah well.... Still better than the tumors on the Catapult.

[MATRAKA14]

The catapult A1 is no longer the only 6 missile hardpoint mech.
