- Cataphract torso hitmesh cleaned up of overlapping internal faces, polycount reduced, center torso area reduced.

Is this an actual geometry change, or just a reduction in visual fidelity?
I fear the former but the wording is pretty specific "center torso area reduced."

And to those of you who always compare MWO to the rest of the Mechwarrior franchise, stop. PGI is making all the wrong changes to get us back to 2000.

"hitmesh" actually indicates the former. Does it mean the "my CTF seems to be made of paper" complaints weren't completely wrong, then?

Does this mean my CTF side torso are bigger now

[AlexEss]

Bigger... Maybe not... Less like to have their damage transferred over to the CT for no good reason.. Yes.

In other words... It becomes more of a risk to run a XL: (if you did such a thing)

Are there no intrepid testers who can put up results while rabid JM6 & CTF owners rabidly click the refresh button on this thread while salivating?

Yes. after re-reading, I realized what they did.

Example, a golf ball has a lot of surface area due to all the dimpling (which is why it flies so far). PGI has taken a plain old golf ball and filled in all the dimples, and then painted dimples on the now perfectly smooth ball.

This means far fewer crevasses, and less surface area, but technically more volume, as they simply filled in all the dimples and painted over it.

They really are rolling graphics back to the year 2000.

Hmm right arm seems much bigger than it should be, but maybe its just a weird angle or something.


Also, get rid of that machine gun, you're just embarrassing yourself
