Mechlab visual treatment - Jaeger mech and the Cataphract get their mechlab visual pass.

Why?

[Nothing Whatsoever]

My question is why the Jager and not the Awesomes?

[Equalizer]

Hopefully they'll never get to the Awesome - those PPCs look just fine as they are, no need to change them to nipples.

[Alistair Winter]

I don't really understand the Jager, but I guess it was easier and quicker than doing the CDA, DRG,, AWS or COM. They already have the ballistic models ready, I suppose.

because you don't want PGI to give Awesome the K2 treatment

[Nothing Whatsoever]

Well, Awesomes could shed some surface area in their midsection, since they are rather portly. And PPCs aren't the only weapons that Awesomes use either. It would be nice for example for the Pretty Baby to get its Left Arm tubes bumped up to 6s from their current 4s with the work, I dunno.

There is a bit of a difference between an 8Q and a 9M.







But we'll certainly see how Cataphracts could shape up at least, on the 17th.

[Brody319]

I think the PPCs on the Awesome need a texture pass. I am running the game max and they look really low res in the barrels.

[Lulz Kev]

Why do they keep going through old mechs with their sad excuse for weapon geometry when its clear as day the community doesnotwant.

Because the Jager is more popular?

[Kmieciu]

Maybe Russ meant Cataphract and Dragon? Because Jagermech already has full visual weapon display.

[627]

yay for cataphract, can't get worse on that thing.

But JagerMech?

Only on the arms, not on the torso.

Whoever carries PPCs in the Jagermech`s torso needs their head checked.
But since we have AC20 modeled on a Locust even though it's not possible to drop with one.

Actually it does not, IIRC when it first came out if you had 4 lasers in the torsos you used to get 4 lasers in the torso. It kinda looked like crap though as they were just tacked onto the corner of the one that is attached to the torso, somewhere along the way it was reduced and only shows 2. I presume it was because of the extra boxes looking tacked on kinda like the extra launchers the catapults suffer from.

At any rate they don't show you have a ppc equipped visually in the torso if you put one there, so I guess you can't blame them for going for an easy fix since half the reason they started the visual changes was to help identify load outs before you got the target info from R even if you could because ecm was very op before it received so many counters.

I'm more worried about the PPC in the Catapract
Or the missile launcher for the 2X - the ballistic weapons for the 4X.... any outcome but to screw the model is unlikely
not to mention that they will modify the textures too, like they did for the Centurion - so your "bought" camo pattern an colors may look complete different afterwards

I once got oneshotted by a Jagermech with 2 AC/20s and 2 PPCs.

Confirmed. I've tried. More than once. PGI plz fix.

Call me a pessimist, but I bet the poor 4X will get even lower ballistic weapon mounts ;-)
