This isnt about the hero mech so much as it is about all the hunchys. They look ******* AWESOME NOW TY PGI :)

Even my founders hunch back looks neat when i tweak the weapons mounted in it! So glad to see that after so long!

I like all of the energy weapon changes but a 3rd ballistc looks pretty pathetic, 2 LBX10 looks awesome though.

This.

I also preferred it when I could have multiple autocannons firing from the same barrel (it made it seem like there was a mechanism inside the hunch that rotated barrels, which made it seem BAMF).

The energy and missile stuff is cool though.

Machines guns look pretty dumb, too. The AC barrels get hidden in a huge armored sheath, but the MGs are just glued on and exposed?

^Ya thats also true, but I like the majorty of the changes just not all of them. 3 MGs should easily fit in that huge hole though.

The huge hunch with three itty-bitty machine guns poking out on the 4G looks a bit odd. My initial impression would be that the hunch is bit too big ... but YMMV.

Yeah, it's a bit inconsequentally. On the other hand they probably wanted to keep the hunch which give the Hunchback its name. On the other hand they let certain weapons stick out for no apparent reason. Why? Because that's how they roll. ^^

Out of curiosity, does it seem like the ballistics are now seperated a bit when fired like the Shadowhawk? When I ran 3 A/C2s in the Hunch, all rounds basically left the chassis in the same location (tightly grouped together). I wonder since the barrels are now lined up down the hump if now the shots are spread apart.

If they are now spread apart, it kind of nerfs the platform a tiny bit since all 3 ballistics aren't guarenteed to hit in the exact same spot.

I don't know if in the end that will make a huge difference, but it can make a difference between all 3 shots hitting compared to 2 of 3, etc...

yet the J and SP can both become hunchless, entirely. Though funily enough I still get the RT taken off first almost every time, even though it has no weapons, lol
