Just like it says on the tin.


Goal would be to change the angle of the Warhawk's arms so that they are raised higher than they are now.

Feel free to support me with this line of thinking here: https://twitter.com/...759571314216962

I lean towards no, because there has not been a precedent for it.

The precedent will be if they actually do go through with it and change the MDD stance - which Russ is actively considering.

So if they can adjust the angles the knees and hips are bent at, then they can do this for the WHK's arms at the Shoulder/Elbow sections.



As with all things, this requires impetus.

Russ will at least consider it, if he likely gets enough tweets about it.


So support it, if you're for it.

Hm, maybe the Gargles would benefit here, since it is literally the same size as the Executioner.

I agree, feel free to bandwagon and push for it.

I'm going to push for the Warhawk!

Warhawk just needs its upper arm portion shrunk a little, its barrels increased in length. Or, yeah, something to increase the height the guns are sitting. The bottom barrel should be sitting at the top of the leg joint, not down by its knees.....ok, over exaggeration, but still.

No! No! No!

I fear sometimes it's best we leave things alone lest PGI decides to do something "more"., like the above. <shudders>

That was from all the nerd-rage/nerf-gasms over the EBJ's stance.

I didn't start that fire.

Raise Warhawk arms to compensate for its lack of torso armament?

If anything, Gargles could use some straightening of the arms so they don't look cockeyed..
They converge at like 60 meters out, should be pointing straight.

Yeah, exactly....PGI goes and tries to improve one thing, doing an otherwise decent job, but goes and does something really derpy like that...EBJ is supposed to be a squat little hillhumping 65t

Squatting the Grasshopper down even just a little bit would be appreciated Mr PGI.

LOL, could you make a WHK with lasers and PPC barrels about twice as long as they are now? But yes, that is so much better.....

Looks good.

Is that as high as they could go without looking ridiculous?

its as high as they can go without Clipping,
but even so a slight forward Tilt in the Torso can net the weapons even higher,
(i was formally trained in Programing and Modeling :) )

TBR, MDD, NVA, and SCR all need to be squatted down a bit. EBJ is right where it should be.

Arms could be tucked up a lil bit and I don't think it would hurt balance. WHK is at a disadvantage anyway. They really need to get some of the other omnis set up for this thing.

Lol, could you do another of your WHK images wiht the arms like you redid t hem and the mech squatting down more?

Looks like PGI made all the clan mechs stand up to straight.

All the chicken legged CLan mechs should all be squatted down some more.

In order for them to do it properly, they would have to reposition the arm mounts.
