Is there any move to make missile pods on mechs dynamic?
the pods on the butterby CPLT - BB seem a little large ?

Some mechs are set to always have their missile pods large, mostly due to them being very iconic. The Catapult's Arms are always huge, the missile pods actually do change, but you can't see them if the door is closed, meaning you'll never see them change in mechlab.

Other mechs such as the Timber Wolf, Mauler, Bushwacker, and many many more have their missile pods disappear when empty or change size depending on the launcher out in the open.

Apparently, that's not true anymore. At least, from what I've checked - If you go into a training room and use the free camera, the Catapult always has an MRM40 in its arms, model wise.



That's what 4 SRM6s look like. Also what 2 SRM2s looks like.

The missile pods on the Catapult used to be dynamic and PGI did such a terrible job at it that people complained PGI into making the missile pods always look the same. I can't say I blame them. I remember what my Catapult used to look like back when the missile pods actually changed depending on what you put in them. It was pretty damned awful. The Catapult looks better now, and at the moment holds a place as the only 'mech in the game whose missile pods are not dynamic.

Maybe its a bug they didnt catch? I seem to recall the tubes being dynamic, maybe with the update something got tweaked. Maybe that should be sent to support
