Are we ever going to see a crusader with the leg-mounted SRMs? I noticed that the Cicada already had its MGs put on the torso instead of its legs. Is this the main reason the Crusader has never been put into the game?

Would probably be difficult to use, but would add some variety to the game.

The SRMs are really on the hips, at least in some drawings, what matters is that they don't benefit from the torso rotating.

Well, in MWO they are dumb-fire and it will be very hard to aim tubes.

One way of doing this is simply linking leg mounted weapons with torso mounted weapons. No extra mechanics and crosshairs needed, though the animation may be a little weird

Some leg mounted weapons appear mounted on swivels but those could be linked to the arm crosshair.

But any 'dumb fire' weapons that are mounted straight onto legs would require a third target reticle if they were to be implemented correctly.
Not so tough actually, but definitely their use would take some getting used to.
