I swear if I got my old model PPC sleeves back I'd play for no other reason except that I looked badass.

...

Sadly, given the current state of the game there really is no other reason.

Bumping approved for great justice.

I don't believe in bumping threads, but I do believe size matters :)

Only counts if the bump is larger than a rolled bacon bite.

Interesting fact: Placing bacon in ice-cold water before cooking keeps it from curling up... Which is exactly the opposite of what happens when my meat is placed in ice-cold water. :P

A minor thing, I'd like to remind people of, was the Hunchback "overhaul" some months back. The LRM variant HBK-4J had a large hunch for the missile launchers. Now the missile tubes were moved into the shoulder and the right weapon torso greatly reduced in size.
I liked it better before.

Also, making the 4J model an even less significant / looked at variant, compared to the other missile variant 4SP, by increasing the missile tube number from 6 to 10 per side torso wasn't the best choice.

I like the overall look of the hunchback after the visual patch because it doesnt look so ridiculous like the Catapult patch.
Sure the PPCs in the shoulder of the Hunchback isnt a Masterpiece but still better then the Extra Racks and tiny PPC sticks of the Catapult.

2x PPC, 2x ML, 2x SRM it sounds good, kind of a fun build. It should look somthing like this ...

But noup, this is what you get

If at least the mech were smaller than an assault...

Also the ears without weapons of the k2 look odd.

and just when I was learning to re-love it, in SMM. I really hope they get a reality check on their rescaling someday. Probably come just after they pull the plug.

I get where the devs were going with this.... but really now.

It's hardly an elegant solution to the problem.

I'd like to, but I don't get it. It is a HUGE missile launcher that can't fit missiles so they need to be "tacked on" like an after thought.

As an example, what is inside those launchers that an LRM 20 can fit, but 3 SRM6s can't??? Last I checked, 3 SRM6s comes to 18 missiles...2 shy of an LRM20. I think everything could fit INSIDE that launcher. Even if you were to say that each launcher has a mechanism that would take up too much room to fit all 3 launchers in there, look at the tacked on cr@p launchers, stacked 3 tall, they would STILL fit.

Nope, lazy devs. When it comes to launchers, It would have been better to leave it lacking than to break it.
