Title says it all, I dont know when, I must of been asleep, but when did the C1 Catapult get its ears enlargened to the C4 ears?


How it used to be.
C1 Left, C4 Right.



Current C1 and C4 side by side

That is how it used to be.

I can acquire a replica picture using the mechs now, as soon as Koniving gets on.

Months ago. A1 ears are now larger too.

[Fuggles]

i thought the C4's got smaller actually but i could be wrong. anyways it was back when they redid the tubes, back when the C4 was the only one with 20 tube launchers and the c1 had 15, a1 had 3x15 per arm.

[Monkey Lover]

Everyone loves to pierce the ears on the A1. I can't even use it because i run out of weapons in first few minutes of the game.

Happened the same time everything else went bad with the Catapults. Has it been a whole year now?

[Durant Carlyle]

They changed with the customization pass that makes extra launchers look like VCRs hanging from the main launchers.

[stjobe]

Yeah, about a year ago when they fuglyfied the Catapult.

Here's 46 pages of people clamouring to get it changed back - or at least changed to something not insane.

i just sold my missle pults because of this stupidity. and i really liked playing them. thanks pgi.

[Lord de Seis]

Catapults need to examined, hopefully after CW. Would be nice to get someone from PGI to give some input on this topic (hint hint)

IIRC:

Remember, remember the 5th of November in the year 20-13
The C-1's ears were stretched to their peers by artists all rotten and mean.
Black boxes were hung all in the name of fun by men that could only be green.

I'm getting more of a "U gon get rekt m8" vibe from that.

Perhaps it's the whole 80 missiles ponderously approaching you.

We need Caramelldansen Catapults. Now.

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

Just now? You are a patient dude...or just slow to find out about stuff.

[aniviron]

Back when the Catapult got dynamic hardpoint geometry, they made all the ears the C4 ears, for the CPLT-A1 as well. It's a real shame, the C1 ears look much better, as did the old PPC hardpoints on the K2.

Now THAT would be a feature I'd like- let us pay to have the old models back, Cents without ugly ballistic arms, Catapults without huge boxes strapped to the sides, Hunchbacks without Gauss rifle barrels that protrude from the barrel of the hunch for some reason...

I really don't care if the model accurately reflects the weapons down to every last tube, or even if you're launching an LRM5 from a 20-tube launcher. The new models look terrible, every time.

[Malleus011]

I'd rather have awesome looking stock 'mechs than ugly accurate customization.
