Yeah, the Hunchback was the New Awesome years ago, gentlemen!

[Bagheera]

I was wondering how long before you posted that.

While I get the point...

Isn't a little snarky busting PGI's chops over configurations that are impossible to field?

Dunno... seem overly childish to me.

Sorry. What was that about a quad PPC Hunchback being impossible?

Okay.... how about "improbable"...

You can jam a 8 cylinder engine into a Smart Car... bu that only proves its possible. That said... who in their right mind would drive it.

What do you call that thing... the "One shot toaster"?

Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean that you should do that thing. Hell, the second you pull the trigger on that you're instantly shutting down. Granted, you're putting a big ol' hole in whatever you hit. But, you're not going to last very long thanks to the internal heat damage that you'd take.

They don't, but they'll at a random whim for the giggles.

[Nothing Whatsoever]

Making the impossible possible, can you believe this car and cycle?



Starting in 3 mins, you can see it in action!

Ahh.
Seems a bit pointless tbh

The 3PPC Swayback is a "Classic" build from back in the day. Still works, as long as you place 2PPCs in one Firing Group, then the 3rd in a second Firing Group. (I like 2PPC + ERPPC). You can run that with 255XL and focus on full throttle ranged-only fighting to keep yourself alive.

The 4PPC Swayback is fun (was more fun back without Ghost Heat), with a standard 170-190 engine and 3PPCs + ERPPC. Double-tap, then fall back for a while... not at all competition viable, but amusing when you've had a few.

Just ran 5 games in 5 PPC hunchback. Did around 100 damage each game, except for one in which I got 200 and 2 (lucky) kills.

Fun fact: if you remove missiles from 4SP or J, the missile racks disappear, and they become smaller.

Not if you use a 4J as a base.
The PPCs are almost unnoticeable.

This is crazy. Same loadout and hugely different size and profile on same mech (just different chassis)

These changes nerfed my fun (and surprisingly effective) dual lbx hunchie. They still fit in the hunch but with no longer using the same tube to fire the projectiles don't overlap for that delicious convergence cheeze. Also the hunch is definitely bigger for some builds now making it a more of a walking coffin than it already was
