Supercharger I can understand, but the Partial Wing would require PGI to add a new visual model for the mechs equipping it. I really don't think PGI will go to the work to do that.

well it doesnt have to have s visual model when its introduced,
such could be added later, if they ever do their Custom Geo concept,

I thought Russ publicly stated that they were giving up on custom geo awhile ago?

its odd, first he said no, but then he said maybe for some light Changes
(AS7 masks i think was the idea)(also Metal plates was another)

but remember PartialWing could be added Cosmetically and work with mechs,
every weapon and AMS have their own Model so it would be allot like that,
just make it a simple small wing, it doesnt have to be big,

you would probable need 2 Models,
(1 for Humanoid Mechs)(1 for Chicken Mechs)
Edit-

So what happens if you drop on HPG with a partial wing? Pretty much RIP.

Nothing changes just like gravity doesn't change between maps.

I think he means the old HPG ... that one hat like 40% gravity and jumping was "weird"...

just like maps had random heat levels at some point. I mean Turmaline 89° is normal now but I once had one match with 999°due to a glitch.... the mechs overheated from just walking in a short period. it was horrific.

True, but would a Partial Wing affect a mechs drop? Instead of dropping straight to the ground, would they drift gently forward for 10 seconds or so, unable to change coarse?

It would be hilarious, if only because of those maps where you're facing the maps edge and might get an out of bounds suicide.
