This community is largely composed of puerile old manchildren who wouldn't know game balance if it was kicking them in the face until their jaw broke. This is the same community that can't actually decide if machine guns are underpowered.

Yeah, there's that.

Except that stalker is still, itself, fairly overpowered. The best hunch variant is the one with SRM6's, the best cent is the one with srms, the best cat is, the best awesome is, the best stalker is, the best atlas is, the best trebbuchet will be et cetera. There is a problem with the SRM. There are other problems with the catapault, certainly. It exists at that crossroads of weight and maneuverability where it can hit critical mass with dual ac20s or hexrm6's while maintaining good, safe, speed but the srm6 is not a balanced weapon. It's not even close to being one.

Give us weapons that compete with SRMs for short-ranged combat, then. We had only gauss rifles for ranged, then they made large lasers good. Suddenly, more ranged warfare.

Now PPCs are good, too. Wow, we've got PPC carriers keeping distance? WHAT A SURPRISE!

If you want to get close, you can do the following.

1) SRMs and facehug.
2) SRMs and artemis, to eventually facehug.
3) cling to people who are boating SRMs, so you can take potshots while they facehug.

Oh, no argument there. SRMs are a bit ridiculous at the moment, but to nerf JUST SRMs would result in the Catapult just moving onto the next flavor of the month weapon to boat. I think we can all agree on that.

And I still love my Founder's Hunch best, but that's personal opinion, not based in statistical evaluation. I'll treasure my beloved HBK-4TFW-No-G[F] until the servers go silent forever.

Shame on them ? Meh, they did nothing shamefull imo.

What the OP was trying to point out is ngng is respected by most of the community and a lot of ppl watch there stuff apparently.
With that said discounting the fact that the A1 is incredibly overpowered by sandbaging or sucking with it leads the community that follows ngng to believe there is no problem and that's a pretty crappy thing to do
Someone else mentioned them being about fun let me tell you teams premade or pub are not having fun when a group of 2,3,or more AC20/Srm6 cats drop on them.
That is unless you want to play catapult warrior online and beat them at there own game.

[Iwaslost]

So he made a video recording all the kills he got in a Catapult. Big deal. Did you not notice that it ignores everything else that happened in those matches? A kill compilation doesn't mean anything other than you recorded a lot of kills.

same old whingers making same old claims and the community totally disagress with you.

thw hole point of that poll was to show just how pointless threads like this are.

play the game or keep playing with yourselves on forums, no one thinks anything of your tired opinions

I'd say the thread you linked was pointless.
[sarcasm]
Players voting for no nerf on the most popular mech in the game? I'm shocked.

Please get yourself an A1 go out and learn how hard it is to have good games on a regular basis.
The more A1 are out there, the less ECM cover they get, the harder it is to play them.

Please go out and make your own Videos of how Overpowered the A1 is.

The last "A1 are sooo overpowered" Video which was referred on and everybody wanted to show that it is SOO overpowered was on a close look a show that A1 only shines in certain situations and that the Pilot had indeed great Skill. Skill can't be nerfed and thats the Problem folks.
Or we will end up in Robots that look like TV-Screens and hoover around on Jumpjet sliding from side to side like Maniacs and Hit zones are removed because Aiming at weakpoints is sooo OP.

I think I should seriously do this and hunt down all those idiots saying "its not op" "L2P n00b". Plus, I need an excuse to master my K2 and this seems like the perfect reason to do so.

Wrong mech. Pick up a Raven 3L, and stay at 270M religiously and pepper cats with ML and Streaks and its an easy kill. I've been owned a few times by people figuring out that they need to be in fast mechs that actually know how to play the game. And I've tried it out myself and it works exceedingly well against an A1. Then again, I have skill and patience, a lot of players lack one or both.
