Mauler's are totally sweet. If you go through the history of this forum you will find that sense beta I have brought up the mauler many times. Now I seen it from resistance wave 2............

It looks like a dwarf!!!! It's arms are too short. The shoulders are too small. Pls fix this....

Also add flash man pls

[Kiiyor]

Er... as long as the arms protect the torsos, they should be as small as possible - and those torsos are already huge - make them any bigger and you'll have a less effective ballistic Awesome!

[NephyrisX]

Have you seen how large the STs are in older games? They would have worse hitboxes than the Awesome!

GUAHAHAHAA

Another scale thread.... about something not seen in the 3D model, but of concept art..... ahahaha

Oh I gotta add that into my thread.

[Sigilum Sanctum]

Complaining that a 'mechs ST's are too small, when it will most likely inherit the Awesome barn door syndrome anyway.

This is what this community has come to.

What a time to be alive.

Someone asking PGI for bigger Mauler side torsos.

I guess some people aren't satisfied unless they're guaranteed to have their super size, side torsos, blown off within 30 seconds of every game.

Mauler
I don't see a small torso on any of those versions.

Its the constant, neverending disagreement between those who think art trumps all, and those who care more about gameplay and think hitboxes matter more.

Im part of camp number 2, and hope that the missile boxes go away when i inevitably equip zero missiles on any variant, regardless of how 'UnMaulerlike' it makes it look. I wont care when im in the cockpit, and id like the new IS dakkamachine to be good. The KGCs ballistic mounts are annoying enough (too low, too wide) that i don't use the mech often, despite its excellent agility for a 100 tonner, and the Mauler will fix that problem with its higher, closer together ballistic ports. Assuming it has no serious hitbox disasters it will almost certainly become my go to IS dakka mech.

Might be harder to do than you might think Widow...
If the MW:O version looks like this:

The shoulders seem to be attached to the Missile pods.

I think its quite likely to look more like this:



The pods probably wont disappear, sadly, because the arms are kinda attached to them. But they arent too large, dont stick up very far past the cockpit, and the arms should shield them from the sides, so it should be ok. If they vanished it might be XL viable though, which would be nice.

I would run an XL in that with pods.

I second this.
ST should be doubled.

I have bought it as well. Dang the BattleTech Cartoon and the Lyran won Mauler!

C-bills version for me.
I must admit that I never liked the mauler with his big hunches....

(But the Wolfhound of Dan Allard is been my insta-buy, along with the juicy Crab)
