The balance on those legs are totally off. Those things would just fall forward on their noses.

Nope. Same game, and it is the Catapult. Check out the many renditions on Sarna. All good here.

Yeah, it's modelled after the Mechcommander Catapult I guess.

That's Pawel Czarnecki's art. He's done some of the best unofficial battletech modeling before MWO. I'm not sure where the best place is to look for more, but you can find a bunch of it here: http://www.cbtbooks....-02-14-16-59-04

Depends on where the CG is, since the nose is going to be a LOT lighter than the rear (Engine+ears).

That image is stamped to year 2002, about 10 years before MW:O.

I think this thread should be in some community creation forums, since it is unrelated to MW:O.

So rocket/missile exhaust can escape from the back without creating extra heat and/or pushing the user back/recoil. Otherwise, no logical sense. Maybe it is dealt with differently in MW:O?
