it does look like the guns are attached right at the shoulder instead of having another piece in between

2018-11-25 23:37:43 UTC  

no I guess not

2018-11-25 23:37:43 UTC  

huh

2018-11-25 23:38:18 UTC  

Lmao, the old ones were the fags that turned the warp into a hellscape by weaponizing it.

2018-11-25 23:38:33 UTC  

and the only reason they had to do that was you

2018-11-25 23:39:16 UTC  

I assume they're on solid platforms over the shoulder so the flak cannons dont tilt or wobble if the titan needs to rotate its arms on the Z or Y axies @Nic386

2018-11-25 23:39:21 UTC  

It's because the arms look like they're just hanging off the underside of the AA platforms instead of their own shoulder joint

2018-11-25 23:39:40 UTC  

Yeah nah it's just coz you cant see it

2018-11-25 23:39:43 UTC  

Which would actually look rad as fuck with a beefier structure

2018-11-25 23:39:57 UTC  

That kind of design has too many limits tbh

2018-11-25 23:40:21 UTC  

shouldnt they have done something more like this?

2018-11-25 23:40:25 UTC  

Drastically reduces the load they can bear and their mobility and degrees of elevation

2018-11-25 23:40:34 UTC  

Ew

2018-11-25 23:40:36 UTC  

and yes I know that was a knight but still

2018-11-25 23:40:44 UTC  

But no

2018-11-25 23:41:00 UTC  

just a large gun with a couple support weaons, not a warlord with a giant gun

2018-11-25 23:41:11 UTC  

Its not even a warlord

2018-11-25 23:41:22 UTC  

the legs are the same

2018-11-25 23:41:25 UTC  

It's a new class

2018-11-25 23:41:30 UTC  

Yeah because they're legs

2018-11-25 23:41:36 UTC  

its essentially the same hull

2018-11-25 23:41:50 UTC  

Arguably

2018-11-25 23:42:24 UTC  

I know its a new class but its based on the same chassis as the Warlord

2018-11-25 23:42:27 UTC  

I mean the Honda accord and the Honda civic used to be the same chassis but not the same car

2018-11-25 23:42:51 UTC  

the warlord chassis doesnt look very good with a single gun sticking out of the middle

2018-11-25 23:43:10 UTC  

Er no, that's far more like the Reaver's legs

2018-11-25 23:43:39 UTC  

With how this first iteration currently is, I am fairly certain this a command platform instead of a combat platform like the warlords are

2018-11-25 23:43:55 UTC  

So the design is going to be different and allow for different things

2018-11-25 23:44:11 UTC  

The Warlord's are digitigrade

2018-11-25 23:44:38 UTC  

thats fair

2018-11-25 23:44:49 UTC  

but istn it the same size as the warlord?

2018-11-25 23:45:08 UTC  

I think its bigger mass wise

2018-11-25 23:45:15 UTC  

Regarding the shoulders, underslung hard mounts would be able to support far more weight

2018-11-25 23:45:16 UTC  

Wait reaver or this new one?

2018-11-25 23:45:17 UTC  

I mean more as in hight

2018-11-25 23:45:29 UTC  

Oh well without the gun then most likely yes

2018-11-25 23:46:15 UTC  

A traditional shoulder puts the weight load perpendicular to the axis of motion, which is bad

2018-11-25 23:46:31 UTC  

But gives a higher range of movement

2018-11-25 23:46:36 UTC  

Yes

2018-11-25 23:46:53 UTC  

And that's the point of these guns. High range of movement for "Oh fuck" moments
