Hello,
This is an open question to the developers.
Statement: The last time a graphics pass was made on the Catapults the "A" and "C" versions all received the same arm "box" look. Indeed they all received the ability to launch 20 missiles as well.
Today as I checked my profile the machines that were displayed included my A1. It was shown as having an original arm "box". Lovely.
Question: 1.) Are you ever going back to the original look? For me much about this game (and the machines I pilot) are the aesthetics. Some of that was lost with the last graphics pass.
2.) Are you going to return to the concept of only one machine having the launch box capable of fielding the LRM 20? I purchased and maintained a C4 specifically because I could mount an LRM20 in the arms. Now it is just a weak C1 or A1...depending on how you look at it.

Nothing has changed they just used the old art from the mech info section and pasted into your profile.

We asked them (politely) to fix the Cat right after the geometry pass was done. The only response we got was a tweet of 'we're working on it'. The K2's auto cannon barrels were changed. To my knowledge, nothing else has been done and no further communication has occurred.

So, we're still waiting. My Catapults are collecting virtual dust until they're fixed.

Ouch!
I still use them but miss the old artwork and missile tube layouts...
One day perhaps.

One of the appeals of the Catapults-C1 and C4 (and yes A1) are their large CLEAN missile launcher pods.

And one of the appeals (to me) of the Catapult-K2 was its Larger Than Usual Look for its PPCs.
