I'm planning to run what's basically a "Super-Wolfhound" loadout on my PXH-1K, the one jumpless variant. Mean laser arm plus a pair of ML's in the CT, in case the arm is shot off.

What I am planning on doing is taking the PXH-1B and throwing 3 JJ's on it, ECM, keep the MG's, and then 1ERLL, 3xML. Because 1 ERLL and 3ML works pretty good in the Wolfhound and I always wanted it to be able to jump and that is what the Phoenix Hawk gives me.

Yeah, it'd be one thing if the hardpoint wasn't visible if it wasn't used (like the Spider for example), but it looks so wonky the way it is with this big empty vambrace. In my opinion, it makes an otherwise spectacular looking mech seem a little sloppy.

I love the over all look but that vambrace just looks lacking. Could we get a toggle to allow us to choose fill gun first or fill vambrace first. That way those of use that want vambrace filled can chose to do that and those that like the dual gun the way it is can chose to go that way?

[TELEFORCE]

Yeah, please make the second beam mounts go to the wrist and not the pistol.

Not until all mechs get the ability to choose where weapons go, which we really really need!

[Stuffer]

Yeah, being able to choose where to place weapons would be a neat universal feature. But for now, on this mech, I'd like to see them reverse the order of weapon placement on the arms.

The mech looks badass in every other way.

Looks aside, the pistol energy mounts look higher than most arm hardpoints.

Has there been any word officially on the hitbox assignment/handling of those shoulder pods?

I guess we are about to find out :/

[Stuffer]

I think at the very least, I'd like to see the variants with only 2 E hardpoints in the right arm have one go to the pistol and the other into the vambrace. Leave the 3 energy variant how it is.

Looking forward to receiving my Phoenix Hawks next week...I really like their Japanese-mech design

Wow, it's beautiful!
(the transition from concept art to 3d model was specially outstanding in this one)

Despite my criticisms of how the hardpoints are placed(or not placed) in the arms and pistol, I can't wait to hop into the cockpit. One of my absolute favorites!

Wait a minute... Haven't I heard this somewhere?

<*digs through their forum history*> ... FOUND IT!!!

Please support "Allow Us To Select Which Hardpoint A Weapon Takes Up. The Exact Position" @ http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/202240-allow-us-to-select-which-hardpoint-a-weapon-takes-up-the-exact-position/ if you REALLY wish for that to actually happen! Otherwise, your words might as well be hot air that escaped a balloon!

I personally find the $40 collectors over priced I would do it for $25 maybe $30 but that's a stretch. you get 2 PHX-1, so what if one of them is a (S) variant. would be worth it if the PHX-1 became the (S) and one other variant, maybe the clan refit and no I don't mean the IIC. most the classics had a clan refit build.

I'm also waiting to see the Crusader, Stinger, Wasp, Valkyrie, Marauder2 and Long bow

I do math on that differently - spend 55$ (witch is less for me in EUR), 55/5=6 $ per mech, plus trinkets - that's a nice package. Specially if you compare to what other games offer me for that sums, plus it feels nice and warm to support my favorite game.

And regarding day 6 - good screenshots, but guys... where is 4K MechPorn versions?!

How about we just don't? I saw one of those vids before, and it was two minutes of my lame life that I wish I could have back now instead of them being lost forever.

You need to leave that small house of yours, travel all across the Periphery, bet it all for few seconds and laugh as you come up on top and able to waste 2 minutes on something obscure and pointless while regretting nothing. Just enjoy it.. it all for grater good, or bad.

But seriously, 4K cinematic screenshots is a must - I want to droll when I see my favorite mechs.

[Juodas Varnas]

For the love of all that is holy, please put the first Energy weapon into the vambrace, damn it!

Having those empty blocks on the sides of the arm AND then the double pistol, makes the arms so bloody HUGE, especially since all of its firepower is in the arms!
It's not only bad aesthetic wise, it's bad for gameplay!

1st Hardpoint into the vambrace, 2nd and 3rd into the Pistol!

[Sparkymarkyp]

So are those "fins" on its back going to count as RT and LT torso for hit reg purposes?

[pacifica812]

Another great looking mech from the hands of the PGI artists.

Will enjoy to see them in action next week, while I'll try to stop their zig-zagging with my beams of pulsating light, amplified by stimulated emmision of radiation

Would look better if they hadn't screwed up the Hardpoint prioritization, damn it!
