well PGI dun gud on the catapult i have a lance of the dam things now

we got a sniper an lrm boat a brawler (me ) and jack of all trades the jester

my splatapult is fast n jumpy and best of all SMALL!!

the old catapult was a walking hit box and had those tumors on the boom boxes you call missile pods PGI :/

iv been having to much fun in the dam thing so let me show you

[LordKnightFandragon]

Yeah, the Catapult is the only mech that was properly done in this rescale, everything else was a waste of their time honestly.

And holy god SRM spam...

PHX is a 45t mech towering over a 65t catapult lol, the catapult now comes up to the Atlas's Waist. IDK how PGI didnt realize all that and change the entire game to match the catapult, game woulda been better for it.

I think the only person who pressed R to check your build was the one that ran away.

Everyone else must have thought you were in an LRM catapult.

BabyCakes you needed help longer before this

[El Bandito]

What's your WLR with it?

[Narcissistic Martyr]

Heh. If you have a lurm cat in your lance paint your mechs identically, use them to draw in opportunists who want a free lurm mech cookie, and then surprise! It's the old switcheroo.

Hell... I might even watch that video.

The properly scaled Nova and Locust would disagree with that, as would the somewhat slimmer and tougher Awesome.

Anyway, glad the Catapult is getting some use now that it is finally not an 80 ton mech by size.

I don't know about the Phoenix Hawk "towering" over a Catapult, but it is taller. That just highlights the difference between chassis types. Humanoid mechs are Tall and Skinny, Aircraft torso mechs are Short and Long.

SIDE NOTE: I'll say this, those "pylons" make the Phoenix Hawk technically pretty tall even if the head isn't much taller than a Vindicator (really about same size). Those pylons are just great at throwing height comparisons off.

If you put a mech that is designed to be short next to a mech designed to be tall, don't be surprised that the tall mech is taller. At least the taller PXH is still a LOT skinnier than the shorter CPLT. That's where those 20 extra tons goes...length.

Besides, the Catapult was scaled to match the Ebon Jaguar according to the Orthos, so it isn't like it is as super tiny as people believe. Still, to match the EBJ, the torso height is lower because the arms stick up higher.





Oh, and to remotely try and stay on target, nice job OP!

i recently bought an a1, and while i dont exactly splat with it (yet), i am running artemis 4x5s and 2x6es. a lot of people dont realize what a pair of asrm6es can do to someone who was expecting to farm an easy kill on a missile boat, especially when they close into that magic 180 meter range where i can land all the missiles on the ct (its a trap!).

anyway this thing was mastered in 2 days. i probibly couldnt bare myself if i sold it without splatting at least once. i might hold onto it for awhile (i really didnt want to sell my c4, but i did to free a bay, i guess this is its replacement unless i can summon the cash for a butterbee).

The A1 can be brutal as a Splat.

The only thing that seemed difficult to me was getting in close and not losing the "ears" too quickly.

Honestly though, I haven't played a proper Splatcat in so long, that quirks have come and gone since then. The ears might be more durable than I give them credit for. The OP clearly appears to be doing well with it.

you have to be fast and have to jump or splatting just going to be to hard

300xl and 3-4JJ will let you close the distance better

That pilot broke so many rules of piloting a locust. Alone. Ran in straight line. No ECM. Engaged multiple enemies. Bad locust pilot!

Nice snap-shot though.
