I was watching this
https://youtu.be/pCJA5bylR9A

So, everybody can see how an heavy can move like a medium.
While watching, a question rose from my sleepy brain:
"but but but.... is there a reason why the grasshopper has to move like a mummy, sorry, like an assault? what is the reason behind pgi decision to give it crappy height and movement type?"

When I decided to buy the grasshopper I was really expecting it to be maneuverable esactly as we can see the jaguar...or at least a common heavy.

An explanation I read, it's been because pgi was afraid it would be OP, 'cause laserboat.
So, what kind of mummies are we going to have with next resistance 3? All laserboat mummies?

It must be another good explanation for the GHR fail type.

CAN WE HAVE DECENT MOVEMENT TYPE FOR THE GRASSHOPPER???

THANKS PGI :rolleyes:

I don't know why they don't base movement off weight and not size. The Grasshopper moves like it has lead balls. And the Black Knight is likely to follow suit.

HEIGHT. That is what dictates movement types, in the archaic PGI programming formula. Hence GHR (70) and Gargles (80) are labeled as Huge, while the King Crab (100) is Large and Epic ******** is Medium, even though it is 65 tons.

It's a good news if pgi is going to rework ghr type....altought it's going to be...... soontm.

Anyway, even if it's the height to dictate the movement type, behind there always is pgi.
Some decisions are beyond my comprehention abilities.

(I'll be an happy owner of ebon jaguars, but but) why did pgi take the decision to make its height and movement like a medium?

And the poor Quickdraw?

I wrote "what is the reason behind pgi decision to give it crappy height and movement type?" or" why did pgi take the decision to make its height and movement like a medium?".
But maybe there is no answer, pgi didn't take any reasons, they did it...random.
