The changes made to the ballistics for the Jagermech are terrible, horrible, and a crime!

[Joshua Rael]

Seriously WTF? The Jagermech now looks hideous!

[Nankam]

This patch was such a bummer for Jagermech users. All the autocannons look terrible now and are so small they can't even be seen from cockpit view anymore. Being able to see those autocannons recoil while unleashing a barrage of fire was one of the coolest things about Jagers. It's like every gun was replaced with a silly looking sawed off version.

I sincerely hope all the ballistic weapons are upscaled back to proportions that don't look pathetic on what is supposed to be a ballistic platform. There's no reason why the Jager's weapons had to be "normalized." In fact given all the mech quirks to ballistic range and velocity a longer barrel size makes sense.

Also, I think the patch notes mentioned the change would make it easier to see what weapons are equipped to a Jagermech, when in fact the exact opposite is true. Now that every weapon is the same short length when equipped it is extremely difficult to tell them apart, especially for an AC/2 and AC/5.

Was there anything wrong with the Jager geometry to begin with?

My 4xAC5 Jager looks terrible now, like it has MGs instead of giant cannons.
Also the lasers look horrible now too, like big fat lazorboxes that don't belong,

That being said, I can relate to the Jager pilots

PGI revert the geo please, and while you are at it, fix(restore) Centy's arm too!

[Vermaxx]

The Cataphracts are the same way, my Ilya looks like it's sporting three dink guns.

It's carrying three AC5s. Two of the stock geometry barrels TOOK INTO ACCOUNT two AC5s. Seriously, it looks like a joke now and it shouldn't.

[Empyrus]

Pretty sure people were pissed off about the Centurion's arm as well (i am). But the mech is kinda meh compared to some other mediums and doesn't get that much use so it didn't cause a big outrage.

Need the big ballistic weapons back. Won't be driving my Firebrand until the guns are fixed.

Agreed, My jagermech needs it's manhood back, this circumcision was unjust

What I loved about the Jagermech was that you had the impression of the size of your weapons would overpower anything as they hung out before your cockpit as you looked out over the battlefield. The new look has taken away all the visual appeal of the Jagermech.

[WhineyThePoo]

what the **** did they do to my jaeger!

Those were good times. Now we have plinkers.

I realized over the event-weekend, that the geometrie for my CTF-4X is completely broken(*).
i run it with 2 AC2 and 2 UAC5. and on the left arm both weapons are visually in the same spot.

(* i mean really messed up^^. visually its ok)

btw: WHAT happened to the quality of the camos?

I agree. They should revert back to before. The new Jagermech looks shite. What happened to them massive scary looking barrels?

It has been like that for a while now. "Very high" MWO textures could not pass for "medium" in many current games. Camos included.
