Hey folks.

Just watching this video:

and the Kit Fox has two ultra AC/2s in high-up torso mounts. Messing about in Smurfy's mechlab, I'm unable to recreate this, and I don't own a Kit Fox so I can't experiment with it in-game.

In Smurfy's, I use the S omnipods, which are the only ones with ballistic hardpoints in the torso, and the left torso has unremovable heat sinks & a jump jet which don't leave enough room for a UAC/2. So how's he done this?

it's likely something wrong with Smurfy. I used to run that loadout too and I had absolutely no trouble fitting twin ACs in.

I also ran that loadout once upon a time, but it is no longer do-able last I checked. I think it has something to do with jumpjet changes.

It was my favorite build on a Kit Fox once upon a time. 3 mediums and 2 ac2's. To nerf the Timber Wolf they decided to lock jumpjets into jumpjet mechs that normally should've had them locked but didn't. So the Timber S Omnipods got JJ's locked. However the Kit Fox was in the same situation, so to be consistent they also locked them into the Kit Fox omnipods that should've had them as well which made the duo UAC2 kit fox impossible after that point.

This is correct. Jumpjets are now hard locked in omnipods that have them, which means a 2ac2 loadout has to put one in the arm, which is not so good.

Aw, shame! I'll keep my eyes peeled in case they change it again Thanks all for the info.

Nobody seems to be running Kit-foxes any more so I thought I'd make it into a miniature Griffin/Blackjack hybrid. It runs about the same speed as a Griffin with speed tweak on a 300 engine.

Surprised a Warhawk with it, and survived a Direwolf's scattered shots. Clearly wouldn't do well up against any gauss build, but if you're spending a lot of face time in a light, I guess you're doing it wrong anyway.
