There was one time, Japanese giant robots have chest and nipple weapons. But due to looking funny, Japanese animators and artists started dropping them starting in the late seventies.

Reviving a long lost tradition.

I know this game is for grumpy old men, and yes, old man tend to have smaller.... PPCs. But still, once, in the golden age, when the mechwarriors where young and vital and powerful, they had big d.. PPCs and everyone could admire them.

Let's help those fellow warriors. Sure it's compensating their small... PPCs they have now, but let them have really big... PPCs on their mechs at least.

A little more Photoshop and hey, look at Awesome with Banshee style PPCs!
It is way better than that Nipplesome we have now.



But it is still not so good as original. =\

PGI... I don't want to see your PPC nipple unification on Awesome... because it must be AWESOME... eh...
Well, Awesome will win a Re-scale vote and I, no... WE WANT A RE-SCALE FOR PPCs!!!

This is another sign that PGI completely ignores what the players need and what is in his game.

Tiny t.its isn't the problem... saggy t.its it is!!

How is possible that PGI don't understood that first problem of Awesome are hardpoints in too low positions? This amplifies the huge shape that this mech has because you must peek with many part of it to fire any weapons.

I'll grab your pic to the topic post.

I don't think the PPC model on the Awesome looks too bad. Although I wouldn't mind it they were scaled up a bit to the size of the Banshee's PPCs.

I think the biggest travesty here is the right arm. I think it should look like the way it did when it just had the PPC barrel. If more weapons are added, then they could be underslung.

I actually like the new look...


It's either this, sized hardpoints(!), or you have light mechs that use PPCs that are the same size as half the 'mech.

Take your pick.

I think they made it look plenty good, though I'd opt for sized & limited hardpoints instead.

Have you checked light queue numbers lately?

I don't want to say this, but in a Battletech Lore PPC is a really HUGE and POWERFULL weapon and there was only ONE light 'Mech who can use it - Clan Adder. Maybe I missed one more or so, but this example shows how hard to install weapon of such size and power to a tiny 'Mech. But in PGI's MWO you can fit PPCs everywhere. Just brain off, put PPC, save and rollout. The core problem "weapon slot size" was not resolved and now we have lots of problems and their ugly solutions such as "ghost heat" and nipple PPCs and puny Gauss Rifle everywhere and so on.

[Ace Selin]

I have nothing negative to say about the Awesome PPCs, they are fine.

The Jagermech gets horrible thin auto cannons like this too.

Exactly.

The sheer lunacy of LOWERING the hardpoints on the worst assault mech in the game makes my head hurt... And we distinctly asked them to RAISE the 2nd energy hardpoints as a way to breath some life into this junker - heck, I posted a topic on the forums specifically dedicated to that... .but nobody cares since I didn't send a Twitter message, and apparently the folks at PGI still have no clue how hardpoint location affects mech viability.

So, now we have an Awesome with lower direct fire weapons - making it objectively weaker than before - and scattered missiles launchers all over the place, which is a wash for power. Sure, some missiles are higher, but the grouping is worse than before. UGH!
