Screw you PGI. I have no other words for you.

I mean, that second lower Hardpoint already existed when you used PPCs or ACs on the Banshee. While I agree they kind of messed up on the 3S with the medium laser points in the RT, generally the change is fine.

Screw you too.

What are you complaining about?

[Variant1]

How bout we dont make every mech have high hardpoints? im fine with a few mechs having them but not every mech should, after all each mech has its upsides and downsides

[TheLuc]

hahaha, its PGI... what were you expecting.

True, but this is a major balance change for the Banshee honestly. Before, there was an actual choice you had to make between taking a BNC-3M vs a BLR-1G for an ER Laser boat. Now, there's no choice, the BLR-1G is a far superior choice. This is a big nerf.

I'd agree quite passionately, but because there is no benefit to having lower mounts (be they torso or low slung arms), unfortunately this isn't a relevant suggestion to make. That's what happens when we steer away from sim...

[Oberost]

It's not only that they have lowered one E hardpoint from each torso to almost waist level, which is just plain stupid because right now the Banshee is really far from being OP, they have also gave it their LEGO modular weapon treatment...

We've gone from this...



...to this.





Shame on you PGI...

[InspectorG]

Hill Hump too stronk...pluz nerf.

RIP my sweet Banshees. May the memories of xl400, quick pokes, shield arms, and the Wubshee live on in my dreams...

[process]

I dunno, I kinda like how the new thicc Grasshopper looks.

[Sjorpha]

Wow, this change actually makes me a little angry. That doesn't happen very often.

[Violator]

Didn't affect me one bit except that it now looks terrible.Those lazors now look completely out of place.

PGI Guy 1: Lets roll a d20 to see if the mech gets good hardpoint placement.

PGI Guy 2: Wait! IS mech get the d100.

[Nightbird]

What until you see what they're doing to the Battlemaster and Hellbringer hehehe

[Aleski]

Do not watch the new nipples on the firestarters... My Ember is just ugly now. Not a nerf, just uglyness.

BattleMaster is already a visual disaster, not sure how they can make it look any worse.

The Banshee though they've done a really great job of making it look bad though, as they have with the website.

I just take it as another confirmation that P.G.I's moto, is

Who can we piss off today ?

low hardpoints are good for peeking around corners, and from shooting under platforms in my experience. Say in river city when fighting under the platform low harpoints are advantageous shooting at the mechs above, but it is pretty situational.

[CK16]

Nah the original looked like a$$, could hardly see where the hardpoint was before. Stop qq'ing in the grand scheme of things this is a really.small thing to fret over imo.
