Could someone enlighten me please regarding lower arm actuators? 'Cause mine just seem to have vanished on all my Warhawks. I heard in chat that there was some tick-box I needed to check, but I've had no luck finding such a thing. I thought playing a match with only lasers in the arms would restore yaw, but to no avail...

PPCs, ACs of ANY kind will remove lower arm actuators. The tickbox is above the slots. You cannot click it if there are PPCs or ACs mounted.
OH! And Missiles will remove them too (not sure if a size limit here either).
Arm-mounted AMS pods will also remove Actuators and make them non-optional.

No visual on that tickbox, computer screens must have finally succeeded in screwing up my eyes

Why am I not seeing any clan mechs? I cant buy any.

Getting you a screenshot.

Looking at it, NO Warhawk has the option.
Sorry.

But for reference, here's where it's located.

it's "checked" here.

Psst, polygon pattern isn't in yet. Trying to put it on gives the "no texture" effect.

who wants to go through all the trouble of extracting a refund from PGI, the horror stories of those experiences are plenty.

[I'm still very glad] I got a refund on the top level Phoenix pack due to some spectacularly bad customer service from 'Destined', but really, the refund wasn't too much of a problem...

You won't be able to. Only those who pre-ordered them get to try it out.
(PGI chose to do it this way to get testing data. They need to know how well the Inner Sphere and Clan mechs do against each other).

Thank you for that! Managed to locate it, but out of all the Warhawks, the only arm that can have a lower actuator is B-RA. Wish I could put them on the Prime's arms with dual Large Pulse and dual ER Large

So THAT's what that other thing is.
Couldn't figure it out.

[The Boneshaman]

so the public test is ONLY for the ones who have purchase the clans? Yes I can logon but I cannot buy a clan mech to test.
so what’s the point of this if I cannot test a clan mech? My gusse its to help out the guys that have purchased the clans. I would have purchased the 3 mechs I want from the ala carte but I could have bought the full dire wolf for $15 less (save $30 for 3 mechs my ass). Ala carte would be worth it if it we 25 per mech but you get no premium time/ badges/ titles nothing but your mechs and mech bays.

[Solid Alexei]

So anyone tried the targeting computer yet? What does it do?

You can only pilot Clan 'Mechs that you have purchased in the preorder packages; you can still play on the public test server in Inner Sphere 'Mechs.

(PGI chose to do it this way to get testing data. They need to know how well the Inner Sphere and Clan mechs do against each other for further tweaks to balancing). Your Stats don't get recorded (for personal viewing) on the PTS so no ego trips necessary for dying a lot.

It might be a missed marketing opportunity but if done for all to test them, it would be a missed balancing opportunity. (No one would use IS mechs if everyone is testing the Clan mechs)

Yay this has been the most fun I've ever had in this game but then I did install it when this all started for the clan mechs...goodbye IS mechs probably sell most of them have no more interest in them, now hopefully for more awesome clan mechs.

[Koniving]

Rebuilt the Gaussapult with a Mad Cat/ Timber Wolf.

Now it's the Timber Rifle (or Mad Rifle).

Made a kill and a few hundred damage on the first run. But there was a traffic jam of mechs and I couldnt' get away after I got my kill.
BOTH rifles blew!
