Is anyone else having issues with the Missile HSL quirks not working on the BSK-3 and BSK-4?

In addition, permanently against groups of 4 made up of better-known players in the QP, it's so much fun to die permanently and lose 1-12, because you have absolutely no value in an MM.

It does. The IS models at least you can get the Davion, Kurita, Steiner, Marik, Liao, and Rasalhague patterns. I haven't checked either of the Clan models but I don't really like the clan patterns anyway so...

Thank you for the info. I'm sure the Clan variants of the Bull Shark have faction skins unlocked since the IS versions are readily available as well. In any case, we really need the Diamond Shark, Nova Cat and Steel Viper faction skins. I mean, it's travesty we don't have'em already. Otherwise I'd be dressing this puppy in Diamond Shark.

you should work on your responces and not sound like a total jerk. But we're getting off topic back to the Bulshark

I won't stop until PGI introduces a Dodge-made 'Mech with broken brakes.

Clan Bullshark:
Ghost Bear Bullshark
Jade Falcon Bullshark
Smoke Jaguar Bullshark
Wolf Bullshark

IS Bullshark:
Davion Bullshark
Kurita Bullshark
Liao Bullshark
Marik Bullshark
Steiner Bullshark
Rasalhague Bullshark

I wonder. . does the Shark have the faction camouflage enabled? If not, when will we be able to add a faction camouflage to it?

Oooh, now those would be beautiful sights to see.

Any information on the hitboxes for this mech? Some of the ways I've died suggest buggy hitboxes

[w0qj]

The authoritative MWO mech hitbox thread would only update the Bullshark after it's available for MC...
https://mwomercs.com...-2/page__st__40

And the Bullshark is scheduled to be available for MC on/about Oct 22nd, 2024.

Greetings, MechWarriors. Reminder - new 'Mech hitboxes are mapped and posted after they are available for MC. For the Stone Rhino, the FAQ says that will happen on 23-Jan-2024.

I can't stop you from posting your own stuff, but I won't be updating the hit box images or PDFs until then.

Quick and dirty hitbox render if you still needed it

So while looking through available decals in game, I am kind of surprised we do not have the Wolverine decal available. I thought it was in the shop at one time but I may have been mistaken.

On a side note, the cockpit design for the bullshark is fantastic! I absolutely love the aesthetic.

I would also like to see a Clan Wolverine decal someday. And a few others that I am surprised weren't put in at any point, like the Federated Commonwealth, the Davion Brigade of Guards, and the First Somerset Strikers for example.

I wouldn't mind seeing some post-FCCW units and factions show up among the decals too, someday.

Yeah, it's so clean and tidy... not even those distracting kill-counter monitors!

The 1st Somerset Strikers are canon. It's the cartoon they starred in that isn't, exactly. It's a little complicated; it's in-universe propaganda, but the events did happen in broad strokes; the unit was in fact actually formed and deployed, if only for a relatively short time. Everyone in it canonically existed and worked together during that time.

Yes, even Nikolai Malthus was real.

Nice design on the Bullshark there. Thumbs Up!

*How about a little fin on top ? Bolt on option ?

That would be nice to have, seeing that we already some Somerset Striker Hero Mechs like Val Ryder's Bushwhacker, High Roller and Zachary Hawkins' Mauler, Knock-Out. Heck, we can even paint the Awesome, Wolfhound and Centurion to represent Adam Steiner, Val and Ciro respectively.

The cartoon in itself was cannonized as a holovid show. As for the the characters who became canon in the BT lore, they had their own sourcebook. There would be many novels that would canonize their fate. These are how they became included as cannon after the cartoon show ended:
Adam Steiner - Became a Leutnant-General in the LAAF during the FedCom Civil War and later an Archon in the Jihad, until his death in the Dark Age Era.
Katiara Kylie - Became a Kapten for the 14th Donegal Guards
Zachary Hawkins - Joined the Lyran Intelligence Corps during the Jihad Era.
Franklin Sakamoto - Became an officer in the Otomo and was kidnapped during the Jihad Era.
Nikolai Malthus - Disgraced and abandoned after the Clan Invasion. Fought the Judge for a Trial of Grievance (which is funny) and was arrested. Later released by Kael Pershaw and died fighting against The Society.
Ciro Ramirez - Got arrested for treason and was imprisoned for fighting against the Federated Commonwealth during the Clan Invasion
Pytor - Rendered catatonic due to both his IE Implants and his advanced age. Placed in a Solahma unit.
Kristen Redmond - Fought in the FedCom Civil War

As for the fates of Natalya, Rachel Spector, Val and Patch, there's no novel that details their fate.

Of course some people don't want to accept parts of BT canon. Not even a BT purist...

It means buy the pack before June 25th, and you get all that extra stuff. It's written from the perspective of a preorder, because that's what it was when that sentence was written, and they just didn't update it post-release.
