Just to throw it out there... I would have liked to see the Right Torso geometry changed to be a mirror of the Left Torso geometry (sans missile hardpoints, obviously). :rolleyes:

Some side-by-side comparisons of the pre- and post-patch Centurion:

CN9-A (with AC/10)

CN9-AL (with dual LLs)

CN9-D (with LB10-X and MG)

I'm not entirely sure I like the new Tigerstripe camo (in fact, I don't like it at all - it looks like some WWII German battleship camo, not tiger stripes), and as I feared the new gun geometry looks plain bad.

Do it right, PGI, or don't do it at all - ever heard of that one?

The unpainted metal parts are all now a shiny bluish color, instead of the old matte black.
(and the new version has more of them) :(

I would also prefer varients of the old arm, instead of the new one...

A quick post to show you a screen shot with the new loyalty centurion sporting a dual AC5 configuration. All centurions will enjoy this new mechlab treatment.

Could we please have a checkbox in the mechlab to choose whether we keep the Mechwarrior 3 style arm cannon or take the new one?

Please seriously think about this, I only bought the centurion for its ancient arm cannon of canonicity and destruction!

Thanks! :D

Barrels are ridiculously small. The only arm that looks nice is the AL with twin PPCs!

I get that they need to make something that fits a lot of scenarios. But couldn't they at least have centered the barrel if it's just the one? Must it be in the "top slot"?

Please remedy that when you fix the gun scaling, okay?

I'm guessing the thought of adding a 3rd "ghost" anchor point and programming it to have priority was overlooked.

I'd say something to Russ about it, but don't want to get accused of having an agenda or anything..... ;)
