Does anyone have a clue when this is going in? It's always more fun to see the changes you are making to your mech and although the Centurion isn't the best medium in the game it is still my favorite.

Agreed, I love my Centurions and I would love to see great customization on the builds even if I can't figure out what to do with my 9-A anymore.

Yea the dragon and the cent both need their updates it looks silly seeing a gauss shell come flying out of a U/ac5 arm.

Many of the updated models look pretty bad (See also: Catapult ears) and as an added bonus, many variants lose out on missile tubes. Personally, I'm hoping they never get to my beloved Awesomes after seeing what happened to the Catapults and Hunchbacks. Be careful what you wish for, Centurion pilots.

No idea, but they tend to update them when they release a Hero mech for the chassis.

Never! I vote for never. Centurion is perfect just the way it is. Gun arm shoots guns, laser lenses shoot lasers, missile rack shoots bacon . . . wait, I mean missiles.

They usually do this in conjunction with the "bikini" hitbox pass which has already been done so I propose no further changes are needed.

I would like them to fix the tubes on the BattleMaster 1S and the Quickdraw. Amongst others. If I place only LRM5 in the left torso, then it should show that.

It would be nice to have, but I've loved the Centurion since MechCommander. I don't want ridiculous builds (I'm looking at you, 3PPC Hunchback...) ruining how good the thing looks in MWO.

This drives me crazy.

My Jager can shoot 4xLRM15 out of it's tiny little arm box but, My cat needs to have stuff duck taped to the side of it's already gigantic missile launcher AND doors that need to open.

Agreed, the catapult got messed up by the visual weapons patch. Just another good reason not to do it to Centurions. Hunchback got it just as bad too. Really, what we're they thinking?

Dear PGI,

6 months since the last update on this topic and at least 3 others similarly addressing visual updates that are permanently closed... What's up?

Seriously guys, I have been looking through the forums, and maybe I have missed your active thread with all your promises regarding this topic, but I bet you can work some time into one guy (or girl)'s schedule to work the visual rework of older models. We all like getting new things, but we like the old stuff too, or we wouldn't still be here. And if you don't have a list of every minute detail of mechanical error or break from cannon, you have a legion of fanboys who love Battletech/Mechwarrior (at least one for every chasis variant) who would tell you what need s to be fixed in excruciating detail. open a public ticket/thread dedicated to it...

The visual rework of the SPIDER was a great start. please keep em coming.

No one likes the Trenchbucket.

But yeah, they need to get on the ball with these updates.

I honestly see visual update as a nerf.

Because what used to be a weapon that fire from exact same spot (cent srm x3), would fire further apart instead. It also increase hit box size often time.
