From my experience its difficult to hit that cockpit and I'm yet to die to cockpit destruction. It gets damaged but nothing serious it looks like it helps more its saved me few time by taking damage that should kill me. Main problem with catapult is its size I got killed few time where I don't see enemy but he sees my CT and arms just sizing it down would fix cats problems.

It is easy to hit Cat head, and stalker (maybe Cat should have head in similar position) head is also easy to hit if you are above/poptarting, but it can be done even if you are in line with stalker and use certain mechs.

Cat is very good in close quarters with JJ (much more survivable), but as we know SRMs are not enough to brawl with only them so if SRMs ever get some love Cat could have its comeback.

The other thing about a catapult's head (other than being ginormous) is it is almost dead center mass, which is where people instinctively aim if not aiming for something more specific.

I did elite on C1, C4 and K2. While the C-Series is indeed a fire support, the K2 has alot of potential in medum to long range combat. Though it might be not such a good brawler like the Cataphract or the Jager, it still s very good.

Some see the large CT as a drawback, but in fact it is an advantage. Since your side torso will as good as never destroyed you can easly mountr XL engines in it, without the fear of loosing your side torso.

My K2 runs with a XL280, 2xAC10 and 4 med lasers. It's fast, It runs cool and can dish out alot of damage. Since the K2 can twist it's torso nearly 180° torso twisting often allow to distribute damage to the both large ears, which only contains the med lasers. Loosing one of them don't reduce your damage potential as if a Jager would loose it's gun arm.
