4J, 4P and 4SP all look good.
4G and 4H, I can understand keeping the big hunch for AC/20 and AC/10, Gauss too. The other Ballistics, no, makes no sense.

Ah, if was only tried as a partner for the Hex PPC Stalker back in the day.

Of course I'm joking who would be so stupid to do such a mech?.........

(5mins and a Alpha strike later)




(look at the damage it blew the hunch off! )

That is exactly what a quad-PPC hunchie should look like in its native environment.

[Utilyan]

believe it or not...... took it for a ride. Not so bad in a fight. It shoots right over ridges. I've rode worst mechs. Alpha strike will shut you down for a long long time......

The changes are hit and miss. The tack-on ballistic barrels look ... well I don't like them ... but some of the other updates (4J) look pretty good.

The three ac/2 hunchback looks pretty awful. It has a giant hunch with a hole in it and 3 small barrels sticking out underneath it.

[Bromineberry]

The changes for the SP, J and P are awesome. I also like the changes they did to the arms. Their take on the H and especially G if it equippes more than one ballistic weapons...well, that hasn't gone well.

[zudukai]

ballistics are just terrible, 4h is now nearly pointless vs the 4g, everything up to 3 ac/5 should fit into the 4g hunch, 2 in the 4h but MG's and AC/2 should fit fine, never the less why can you not remove the hunch entirely?!

[Axeman1]

What my 98kph 4sp got a buff? Sweeeeeet. I call him Blitz[Speed/Lightning/Etc].

[Sorho]

The way additional ballistic barrels has been done in comparison to the energy weapons is incredibly lazy.

Thats because those guns that are "tacked on" are guns that the mech was NOT made for. Hence the gauss, the HBK is a mech not made to use the gauss, yes we can use it, but it sucks for that chassis. Because Gauss rifles are meant to be used in Arms and not in Torsos.

Single AC-2, 5, 10 and 20 still mount flush. I am relieved. Small bump on LBX-10. Gauss rifle sticks out on the hunch. Machine guns and Ultra's stick out slightly.

What is this...
I don't even...

Huh?

The wubs. Oh my, the wub wubs...

For a mech that doesn't evne have jump jets, a lot of jumping (down) going on with this mech.

J and SP variants look awesome i especially like the fact that you lose hunch if you remove missile launchers
P well i liked the old design more but this isnt bad i would say ok

however G and H are horrendous
why did they make it like shadowhawk, why are the guns sticking OUT OF THE HUNCH? you could have slightly move that big hole down and add 2 more gun holes above the first so the guns would be in a triangle formation

yea first ac2/5/10/20 looks good well its unchanged, uac5 is still good but machine gun and especially gauss... pgi did you even look at it with a common eye? it looks like "Richard" for crying out loud

please pretty please at least change that gauss so horribly sticking out of hunch

[Axeman1]

Lot of effects going on in that video to sell this mech to dumb kids.

As I stated before. Hunchies do not use gauss. I am quite happy they made it look stupid for the stupid people using the gun in a torso.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

Check out the 3PV. The Hunchie has new Animations (walk), too!

[Sephlock]

Wow, some of those look FANTASTIC.

The ballistic ones, not so much... but the others look great.

[MeiSooHaityu]

No sir, don't care for the changes at all.

The laser boat changes are...ehhh... but it keeps with the laser harpoint design they had been using lately with some other mechs. I don't like it, but I don't really hate it either. Just blah.

As for the ballistics, absolutly terrible and this is why...

I assume the reason the Hunchback has a HUGE hump is to contain the entire ballistic and encase it. It makes NO SENSE for the weapon to FURTHER protrude from it's housing. If you are going to go that route, might as well give it a smaller hunch profile like the Shadowhawk.

Also, with such a huge hump, I also thought the weapon barrels were also grouped together in a tight cluster inside the hump barrel opening (the shots fired like a tight grouping). Has that changed now? That was definently a plus for the Hunch over the Shad (tightly grouped shots).

In a nustshell, at least change the ballistics back.

[Marmon Rzohr]

The changes are a mixed result. The additional ballistics and the gauss rifle look really lackluster. Like they are glued on. The other changes are awesome. The 4J especially.

It has the added benefit of making me very optimistic about the upcoming Timber wolf. Maybe they will make it lose the "ears" if you have no missiles in them. This should be quite a big deal if they're part of the STs.
