I have to agree with this, the Catapults looses their arms VERY VERY easily. It is worth looking into, the extra tubes are just dumb, if you put 6 SSRM2 it still adds the outside tubes which makes zero sense because you would easily be able to fit those inside the launcher.

This might have made sense when there was less mechs in the game and the Catapult was a big contender but with the variety out there now I don't think the chassis itself needs these kinds of nerfs. It is already a walking CT.

I am pretty sure SRMs are not THAT big it needs a entire "ear" to fit into.. So yes, I am for the catapult fitting at least 2 SRM6s into its ear before it needs to use a external slot.

If it can fit a LRM 15 in there then I am pretty damn sure it can fit UP TO a similar amount of SRMs.. and if it happens to be able to mount more then that just increase the size of the ear- kinda what happens when you stick a ton of LRMs into a cent or vindi.

The amount of tolerable external slots on catapult ears is zero. They are bays meant to house and protect the weapons mounted therein.

You think the Cats hit boxes are bad? It could be worse.




Far worse.

External launchers on catapults must be 0, dynamic sized ears are the best option, but! NEVER bigger than the C4 ears (current ears) and this ones only for crazy things like more than 20 lrm, the ears must be often smaller than the c4 ones. The doors of the launchers MUST prevail, at least for lrms. 1 srm per ear must be a lot smaller (for example the C1 with 2 srms)
The original aesthetics MUST be the guideline of the work.



(EXTRA POINTS FOR:)
The catapult is bigger than the stalker, scaled catapults could fix the issue but its not the priority.

I'd just like to point out that it is 2014, and you're still using imageshack.

Keeping the thread alive. Please, pretty please, fix the catapult missile boxes. The ridiculous VCRs and boxes are terrible. All the missiles, regardless of number, need to fit inside the "ears".

The catapult was one of the most amazing looking mechs in the game, and can be again, if only they can be reverted to the way they used to look!

Also black boxes without texture are unacceptable fix for the catapult!

When I saw this, I was reminded of Hamster Dance. The song played in my head, and I lol'd.

Seriously, is there any mech more iconic of MechWarrior than the Catapult? Only three more contenders come to mind, those being the Atlas, Mad Dog, and Mad Cat II.

8 days left for the abomination birthday, one whole year of ugliness!

Remember, remember the 5th of november ...

I support the reversion of the Catapult's ears 100%. For those who supported me in #freeCN9-AH, we know we can win.
