LOL!

But obviously didn't buff skeletal structure or heat dissipation the way it cooked.

Torso twist near 359? Going to have to try that out.

oooooo 40 ton... I must check my Hunchback.

Now do it with big ACs for the true Urbie experience.

On one of the mechs that's supposed to have zero torso twist, no doubt. =/

1. I've heard that music one too many times

2. That really looked painful, not sure why but argh.

Pretty neat. Still not 360, though, which is, in my opinion, one of the most under appreciated abilities in MWO. Most people treat it like a curiosity that doesn't matter, but it really is an amazing trait that can be abused to some pretty awesome results, particularity against other lights. 140kph mechs aren't too hard to hit if you can match course with them and never have to worry about running out of torso twist, since they're effectively stuck running only 40kph in relation to you. And it's even better if they aren't faster than you at all.

The fatal flaw of 360 twisting is that people can just shoot at your butt to get an instakill from full health on your rear armor, even if your torso is facing forwards.

True - It's not perfect. But I still maintain it's a powerful tool.

Here is a very old video i made. That cicada has a block between the legs that will still give you rear CT. Shoot there.

Forgot bout shooting pelvis on some mechs count as CT, need to do that more often.
