I hope Russ keeps posting quirk changes and we get a chance to ask this week. I know the regular Catapult variants are not as sellable as the heroes are, but hopefully they spread the love around.

Keep your torso twist, I just want my Cat to have hit boxes like the Stalker or Vulture.

I think the Catapult C1 quirks will address torso twist.

As for weapons, I'm guessing LRM15 and MLaser buffs. Ehh, not sure it is really going to make me happy. We will see, but so far they are sticking to buffing stock like builds. I think that was 2 LRM15s and 4 MLasers for the C1 if I remember right.

I run my C1 with two twenty packs myself, but I could live with a 15 buff if they'd rather. It just means I have more weight for ammo.

Originally the C4 had tubes for LRM20's all other Cats had tubes for LRM15's. That's why I bought it!
They then reworked the Missile boxes and now everyone has tubes for LRM20's and applique secondary launchers.
I hope they Buff the C4 for LRM20's it needs that flavor...Otherwise the C1 is far and away a superior mech.

Screw LRM's. Cats need MRM's and Rocket Launchers...

Single hardpoint doesn't sound too bad when you can shove an MRM40 in it.

EDIT: Arrow IV's, god how could I forget those... Twin Arrow IV's on a Cat C1 and you've got an arty support boat like no other. With all the fun ammo types too, I want FASCAM, Cluster, and Davy Crockett options damn it!

I think another good set of quirks for the Cat should be additional internals and armor for the missile launcher arms. They are far too easy to blow off.

I used to think that was part of the compromise for carrying LRMs, until I saw how small the launchers were on s Timber Wolf.

I just would like it so if I ran SRMs, the launchers would stick around a bit longer.
