Weird, it's supposed to be -5% to -10% but I'm checking...

Thanks!

Swift li'l questions, huns...
That back-mounted railgun... Belongs to which hitbox exactly? Shared between the two sides? That would made it quite damn hard to critted... Belongs to CT? Everyone would know where to aim for a nice cored-engine-death-hit (what a dumb word I created again!).

Overall these railguns ain't not look that damn scary. Damn heavy in exchange of a few shots. The Bullshark is 95 tons, right? -30 by the railgun... It seems to demand hard sacrifices in terms of speed, armour or cooling...
Personally not sure that gun worth it. But since it taken from MechCommander... Can we have it on a Mad dog (as it were originally in that game)? That would crippled build for sure... < insert tons of possible memes here >

..losing an ST will not crit out the Railgun. This means you can run a standard engine build if you desire.

Yes, the center torso, the most well armored part of any mech.

Nether do I but it's the equivalent of 2X Gauss + ER PPC with splash damage, without worrying about convergence and it sits right above the cockpit so some snipers are going to love it. Other are going to buy it just to have a center torso weapon that's almost the equivalent of Dual Heavy Gauss with standard Gauss Rifle range and chuckle when they do a alpha strike with the Rail Gun+ 6 ER Med Lasers without exploding right away.
