My favorite mech is and always has been the catapult (at least, IS wise). But I have a problem.

First, I will start with the positive.

The K2 is one fine *** kitten. The new upgrades to the cosmetics look so good and fit the more polished design that we have in MWO now. I approve with much gusto.

The Jester also is very nice. I like the fact that it can have dual AMS and it doesn't rob the K2 of all it's glory, though I wish it was ECM capable and the camo is a bit ridiculous.


But, the Missile platforms. good god and heaven. I understand what the devs were going for, and honestly, the extra launchers that are stitched on look somewhat cool. They look ad hoc, which is what the devs were probably looking for, because pults only have two launchers normally. But you can't nerf an already slightly gimped mech.

The Pilot canopy is too big. The Launchers were already previously massive. The mechs have limited hardpoints. A1 is really hard to both build and pilot. C4 doesn't have much more flexability. C1 has a lot of flexibility, but SRMs aren't useful enough to go for a primarily energy build, which necessitates LRMs.

By increasing the size of the launchers and limiting the missiles tubes, you nerf the arms further and you take away the 'Pult's most noticeably feature; It's massive number of tubes.

I highly recommend rethinking what you just did. Please, for the sake of the Cats.
