I've been reading up on the Dragon and I've noticed something - a lot of the artwork has its autocannon arm raised up in a most intimidating fashion!









So I was thinking, why do our in-game Dragons leave their gun-arms down? Why do ALL our mechs leave their hands down? Why can't we, maybe, as an example, press the weapon-bay-door button to raise the gun arms? It's useless on all the 'mechs save the Centurion and boxapults right now.
Maybe even hold a key such as Alt to take control of the arms and move them to block fire, melee, raise them over an obstruction to blind fire, etc., like the way we can use free look now?
I mean, really, if you want to intimidate an opponent you brandish your gun arm, instead of ... well, what they're doing now.
Maybe at least let the dragon's right arm stick out like that? Make it a little more unique?
and then this will be buried under other threads w

having a button that raises the arms actually sounds like a good idea, considering that they're already rigged for moving the lower arms, and the upper half of the arms can probably be moved, too.

having this minor fix would help snipers immensly
