The king is back!

Feel free to share pictures of your AC20-armed mechs!

[DaZur]

AW... Your not compensating for anything are you?

[Rhaythe]

Still not ideal, but much better.

[Xetelian]

Nothing like a long hard and hot barrel to make a man a man.

I was wondering who would make that joke first.

well....it's as back as it's ever gonna be...but I feel it's like watching post neck surgery manning vs pre-...... better, still good...but not what it once was.

We miss you, Yen Lo...

[Brody319]

meh.

didn't care that much to begin with.

[generalazure]

I really expected them to enlarge the whole lower arm, not just the end of the barrel... looks kinda weird imho

[Funky Bacon]

Nothing like a big fat ...err... cannon.

Glad to see the Treb having some big fat cannons too now.

Insert joke about wangs and cannons

[BourbonFaucet]

They ought to center the gun on the arm if you only take 1 cannon. That'd make more sense.

[Joseph Mallan]

Looks OK for the Wang. but that was a 100mm Bore IIRC.

I'm surprised I got it off first considering the general snarkiness exhibited by this community...

That would require some logic. Doesn't fit the minimally viable philosophy.

And why does the camo of the old mech look much better? Is it simply different graphical settings, or did they do something to the skins, too?

Hmm, wonder what the Heavy Gauss will look like when it's brought in...

How the new AC/20 looks on my Highlander:



It looks like the old AC/10 while the new AC/10 is even more smaller on Highlanders IIRC.

After putting it on some of my other mechs, I'm not that impressed overally but I'm also not bothered with the change. On the plus side, it does look better on my Shadowhawks. I think they keep the old look on Jagermechs.

I don't mean to look a gift horse in the mouth, but couldn't they have centered it at least? Seems a little silly to have all that space on the arm for just one gun.

I guess there's no way to say it gracefully, but I think we all kinda wanted the old arm back.

[LordBraxton]

I want closed beta back. I remember when LRMs flew straight for about 100+ meters before arcing upwards, which required perfect positioning for indirect fire. Collisions were never a problem unless you sucked. The graphics were twice as crisp. The TTK was about 1/3rd of what it is currently. I could go on and on but since half the forum community is founders, we all pretty much know about it.

Bingo. This is what they did for some mechs like the Raven-4X when mounting AC/20s or AC/10s and other mechs wiff on this entirely like the TDR-5S.

Also, the LBX-10 and Gauss still look silly small on some mechs.
