[ANOM O MECH]

Remove those pods from the Hellspawns shoulders if no missiles equipped.

[Bombast]

I'd like the Catapults arms to shrink based on how many tubes are in the pods. Only seems fair, since Clan omnimechs (Timber Wolf included) get that benefit.

well the catapults a little different from the timberwolf

because you can run a timberwolf with missile hardpoints without missiles

but running a catapult that has missile hardpoints without missiles is silly. missiles and catapults go together like mistlynxs and machine guns. theres no reason not to do it (unless you physically cant like if its a K2)

but yeah on mechs where taking missiles is mostly optional, the missile pods should be optional too. like the shoulder launcher on the hellspawn should disappear if you dont take missiles.

Worst missile pods? 3xLRM5's on a Mad Dog.
Tubes on the nose? Why pgi, why?!

At least it doesn't significantly increase the hitbox size on the mdd tho

Yeah but why can't pgi even fit 3xLRM5's in a launcher space designed for 1xLRM20?

We sort of had this years ago when the C1 and A1 had thinner launchers than the C4 due to the latter coming with LRM 20s as opposed to the smaller LRM 15s the former carried, but PGI removed that along with a lot if the detail the game used to have.

Better than the tumors.

I don't understand what OP wants. Because it's pretty obvious that the missile packs will not be there if you dont have missiles equipped.

I, for one, wish that the Catapults had Locust/Cicada-like wings if you had no missiles equipped.
