    These new high torso mounts are all kinds of amazing. Sure, you're a bit more vulnerable but my god they're so high up that you can do stuff other mechs simply cannot. I was second line in a brawl earlier and I shooting clean *over* my team-mates who were standing directly in front of me! I guess my only builds which arguably suffer are the ones which group weapon systems between the arms and torsos (like my ATM/med pulse Rancor), but at the end of the day one can either cope with this or refit. I enjoyed my Blood Asps before but they perhaps felt a little bland - now they have genuine character; something that makes them different from their competitors. Good job PGI.

    I still would've preferred barrels over barn doors, but this is a pretty satisfying different way of looking at it :)

    You mean like thin unseen Marauderesque barrels? Yeah that would have been cool. The BAS shoulder mounts side profile is kinda horrendous now. It's probably balanced quite well though?

    I think with long barrels sticking out Roughneck-esque (that's fun to say!) I think it'd still be a plenty large hitbox. Or at least make it only this large when you equip 2 weapons in it, just like rifleman/jagermech arms only increase in size as weapons are equipped.

    I'm happy PGI listened, (including the putting 2 weapons in a high pod) but disappointed they screwed something else up in the process.
