Weapon bay doors on the shoulders.

At 65-tons, the CDR-3R was the first true IS 'hybrid' (as in dual LRM/SRM) missile boat. Horseman is correct - LRM/15 in each shoulder. The hip-mounted SRM/6s would allow for some serious knee-capping. Backups are a ML and MG in each arm. Some variants have JJs. One has a Heavy Gauss!

A variant that we will never get because it also uses an XL engine and we don't have crit splitting. We also don't get missiles located in the legs, those hardpoints would be relocated to the torsos. I'm not strictly opposed to the Crusader, but we have a bunch of IS 65-tonners and the Crusader doesn't do much to differentiate itself from the crowd. The biggest difference I can see from others of its tonnage when it comes to MWO is that it has both missiles and lasers in the arms, which would widely be seen as a detriment rather than an advantage.

Still ya gotta love em.
And let us not forget the Longbow.
