It would be nice, but ultimately it would get the "Archer" treatment.
And then I'd have to hear about what a great srm/laser boat it makes.
Sheeeesh.

At least the Longbow would not have its cockpit as a belly button. Archers suffer a lot due to its super low mounted cockpit.

Well...
Its 60 tons, has nothing but missiles, has no usable variants or heroes, is ahead in the timeline, has an awkward appearance and looks like it'll need a re-imagining in order to make it into the game much like the nova.

Also decidedly less popular than other missile heavy designs (Archer, Catapult, Longbow, etc)


Someone at PGI:

Build it! We can add gauss quirks!

Add ArrowIV
Add Longbow
Add Naga
Profit!

Longbow was never really a favorite of mine. I think I used one in MW4:Mercenaries some. But I think I had 2 X Arrow IV batteries on it, so I would need new weapons as well as the Longbow to relive the past.

I'm going to just straight up admit I would LOVE to see Alex take a crack at art on this 'mech whether I want it in the game or not.

I don't think the Catapult is considered a "good" lrm mech though.

Catapult has JJs. And most of its exposed parts are the arms, not torsi.

I want it, iwantitwantitwantit! If PGI can get a decent missile boat out of its Hero version, I will finally achieve my dream of owning an Assault class Hero LRM boat--something that is lacking in MWO.

PGI: Longbow, pls!

I was just thinking how there aren't enough LRMs in the game, and how the addition of an LRM Assault would make this game so much better than it is today.

Not.

If you want a Longbow, use a BLR-1S. Same weight, same loadout.

Oh I know. PGI feeds on that line of thinking.

If Russ is asking for mech pack votes can someone with Twitter link him here or something?

Personally I would like to see the original and the most popular LGB-0W Longbow:

Plus, it shares its leg assembly with the Warhammer and the Rifleman, so PGI would save time and money on modelling the 'Mech.
