Its disgusting, what they did to them.

[Malleus011]

The old Cat needs its ears restored to the thinner LRM15 box (which optionally could go to a 20 if you exceed 15 tubes), VCR's entirely removed (all missiles under 15/20 tubes fit under the doors) and the K2 needs to phat PPC barrels back.

Then the whole model could stand to be smaller. The Cat is really big and boxy for 65 tons.

Though the Centurion pass makes me fear losing the doors entirely.

[XphR]

I will be quite displeased if they remove the doors. It is a very iconic feature of the Catapult.. as iconic as its launchers fitting in the launcher housing..

[Featherwood]

I definitely support the idea of all Catapults rescaling and missile launchers revamp, even though I do not play them any more. This iconic Mechs deserves to be treated well. But it looks like devs are deaf to our pleas. I can remember lot of similar topics and suggestions (including my own one) which have been totally ignored. Rage!!!

[Malleus011]

They haven't ignored it; they've told us another look at the Catapult is at the back of the retrofit line. So they'll come back to us ... after everything else is finished.

Truth be told, I think they need to revisit a number of the retrofits. Poll the community for the ones that need the most attention, or just review one a month, or something. Retrofitted 'mechs should look at least as good as the original model.

Catapult is the only mech in the game that has gigantic LRM launchers, while every other mech gets super compact launchers.

Hopefully they learned their lesson from the poor Catapult.

That Centurian looks like it has MRM's instead of lurms. God I hope the MRM's look good when? we get that far.

[Damien Tokala]

errrrrrr............. timberwolf has some pretty big launchers.

[Walluh]

Well, it is called a Mad Cat for a reason, yo

We do not have Mad Cat, but we have Timber Wolfs.


(and I was about to make that joke!)

[XphR]

I have a mad cat.

[Glythe]

Whoever approved the A1 changes really doesn't understand this game at all.

[TheRealAbray]

Christ, I can't believe this topic is still around with nothing to show for it. That picture right above clearly shows that the cat's missile's need to either do double damage to account for size, or they need to fix the damn boxes already.

This topic was created AN ENTIRE YEAR AGO (minus a couple days) and there is YET TO BE A DUE DATE ON CHANGES. Just a Soon™ (idk how to make it pretty looking).

Unacceptable!

PGI there have been a lot of things I think you've been doing right recently, but this is not one. This one you have completely ****** up. AND IT'S NOT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT! This thread has FORTY THREE ******* PAGES and the best you can do is change it after every. single. other. 'mech gets a pass??? I bet even people who don't pilot Cats would say the Catapult needs another pass before other 'mechs get their FIRST pass (except the Quickdraw, which has been shunned for a while now as well)!!!!

I saw this thread pop up again and almost cried. Faith in PGI lost yet again. If they can't fix something this simple......

[XphR]

It really should not need to wait until everything has a pass, as bad as its pass was.

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.

Amazes me, so you can fit an LRM20 in there ok, but if you have 3 srm 4 (12 tubes) you have to have two sets of tubes on the outside.. ..I see no logic in this at all.

QFT

Some 'mechs don't REALLY need a pass. Others, NEED a pass because their "first pass" only made them worse, somehow.

[Hillslam]

BTW - just to chime in: The Mad Cats boxes are miniscule next to the Catapults.

And I agree the catapult should be scaled down. In no world anywhere should the Catapult be bigger than the Stalker (which is way too small itself).

So I went and checked out the new Catapult upgrades...

[ApolloKaras]

Yeah this is something that they need to look at, just incredible the size of the A1 ears. I mean not that they are UBER popular anyway, but you don't want to make things worse...
