Basically makes the cbill variants worthless, and still there is no reason for this hero to exist. How about we get some good heroes. Like la malinche redone to be usable. A mauler hero would be pretty cool, lots of possibilites, maybe a variant with torso energy or higher engine cap to actually add something to the chassis. Ya know, instead of just adding 2 energy or 2 missile hardpoints to an existing variant..........

PGI if you ever want to start doing stuff that makes sense, gimme a call and I can steer you in the right direction.

Heck, what about a Mauler with Torso Energy and Ballistic Arms? Now THAT is something we could use! :)

On many heroes, I would 100% agree with you, the Butterbee is actually in lore so its more like b/c of all the non-lore heroes this one feels superfluous.

As for making heroes "good", that argument leads to p2w discussions ad nauseum (expect an Oxide nerf soon, now that everyone's bought them). You are basically paying for the ability to boost your cbill earnings, leave it at that.

I am, however, interested how smaller missile launchers look like.
The ones in the picture show LRM15+LRM20s per box.

Any chance for pics of Double SRM6s? Or maybe even smaller launchers?

the scale comparison picks seem to have no weapons so that would be the smallest they would get.

Very nice!
Hope the Mad Dog gets a similar work over, since it is a lighter 60 tons of Short Range Missile boating goodness and stands almost as tall as the Timber Wolf....

The Mad Dog is almost certain to shrink; it's very large for 60t. See also: Quickdraw. I'd basically expect all the 60 tonners to shrink pretty noticeably.

Yup. No reason not to, after all, the King Crab has no firing delay on it's "doors".

The archer does have a delay; which needs to change too.

Or they need to give a reason to have the doors closed.

Like the old 10% bonus to armor, while closed (that got removed as far as i know)

I thought closed doors made crits impossible/severely reduced... But, that memory is from way back...

Excellent, because not owning 2 Catapult heroes is better not owning 1 Catapult hero...
