Wait, when was this announced!? The WHM-IIC current scale is the only thing keeping the Bludgeon from being total garbage!

You get +8 CT armor and +6 LT/RT armor as compensation for the rescale...good luck. Giving it a better mobility profile would have been more impactful and would help the mech carve out a niche for itself. Like seriously, the vastly more powerful MCII can twist 85 degrees but the WHM-IIC can only twist 75. I can't grasp how they arrived at these values.

... yeah just read the new patch notes. Poor, poor Bludgeon...


Well, time to see just how awkward my free Corsair is going to be.

That gave me a good laugh, cheers mate.

They look like something inspector gadget put together.

You caught me by surprise.

Then I realized something: That's because there are no left torso ballistics on any mod--oh.
The Holiday hero.

And the 6R.

Considering where the other ballistic is (on the arm)... I think I would have liked (or simply not cared) if they did exactly what you mentioned... no wait take that back, the smoke over the cockpit would be unbearable.

Bah, I play War Thunder tanks. Smoke obscuring your vision doesn't phase me in the least.

Just a beauty

MG is hard to see. But you're right.

Smoke vision isn't bad, but its excessive in MWO. This version of Cry engine doesn't do particles too well either...

The 'plow; will probably count as part of the left torso vs center. The Summoner and Thunderbolt have off center cockpits but the cockpit is part of the side torso. The Orion IIC is a exception but the center torso is off center as well.

Ether way, it's competing with the Awesome for the 'Broad Side of a Barn' look.

So, what happened to the Size comparisons?

Probably a little later today.

It is huge to put it plainly. With both "arms" it will be as wide as King Crab while being almost as tall as Atlas. This is an easy target from every angle. Pray it has magic hit box geometry.

I mean, its got a similar profile as the Awesome, and is only little bigger than a Cataphract.

[Buenaventura]

Someone else mentioned it already, but the unarmed versions should be taller than those with only one arm, and those again taller than the ones with both arms. Not sure if PGI did this, but they should have according to the volumetric scaling. Its not like the missile launcher "ears" of a Timberwolf, those arms are or are not there in every configuration of a certain variant.

Dem str quirks....

Russ; we need a new mech.. any ideas? No... dont like that one.... we cant give Grus his mech no... look I got another meeting to go to, just throw something together and run with it.

Design team: *happy noises*

[Iron Torc]

The Corsair sure looks small for a 95 ton mech. The question is whether they uploaded a mis-sized model, again.

[Steel Raven]

Can we get a scale pic with another 95 ton mech? I want to know how it looks next my Banshee or my buds Warhawk.
