Ok i know its a heavy mech, i know it lacks a lot in terms of balance and whatever, we heard these arguments before. but why does it have those huge shields on the top of it which serve no purpose at all. remove them...now. make the mech look more bulky by other means. IDK this just bothered me while I was playing with this very fun mech. it makes no difference on the gameplay but there it is anyway

The G2R is literally, literally the sexiest C-class in the game what the actual hell is wrong with you.
No, really, it is

Everything you say is objectively wrong by all metrics and the g2r is best. I will foam at the mouth about this like a dog that needs to be put down, and there are more like me.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?

If you take away the wings on a C-class mech it is a walking box of metal, and while the wings aren`t the sexiest thing in existence, I almost think of them as something needed to define a true C-class to at least look like a proper mech.

The best I can think of is that the wings on the G2R are to better control its center of balance when running fast during the ability (like how tightrope walkers use a pole to keep their balance).
But for Grenadier? What for would they need movable wings if they can just administrate steroids for themselves at the push of a button? #bringbackgrenturretmode

Grenadier has to have a glove( nade) compartments in them wings so he can drop them around him similar to incin ability.

Mine is obviously the coolest. It's also obvious that it needs the wings.

The "wings"/shields having no use is a mistake which needs correcting. Don't get rid of them, give all C-class mechs back the ability to go into turret mode. Don't take away their special abilities, just allow all C's to also use turret mode - it does nothing to harm the balance and it brings back the original intent of the class and design.

Except it does affect balance - turret mode in its current implementation cripples all C-classes that have it by shafting their maneuverability. Turret mode requires a ground-up rework to make it viable, rather than a niche party trick.

Well, duh. I'm aware that it's currently a detriment, in most cases, for a C-Class to go into turret mode. How to make it a viable move is another discussion, one which I am strongly advocating for. I'm just saying that "having turret mode available on all C's is not going to harm balance". If a player chooses to use it... and that leads to their death, that's not a balance issue - the player chose poorly. A player could just as easily choose to try to engage their Predators cloak in the middle of combat, while enemies are looking right at them, or do the Incinerators "heat stomp" while standing far away and alone - dumb choice.

I've wondered if the turret modes would be a little better off if they were given the liberty for a very slight dodge. It would assist in both (re)positioning and aiming.

I forgot what thread it was but someone had an interesting idea of making the top shields actually act like side shields when your ability is active. I liked that idea but I guess not very many did, but at least it would solve the solution real quick like.
Hold on to the things you care about most, even if others see it as insignificant..If you can't be true to yourself, are you really living?

Holyshit that's actually a good idea haha. Not sure how you saw it work but if it's 'wings" could bend over in front of the mech and let a dozen nades roll on the floor like medieval tactics of letting boulders run down a hill to crush opponents who are going uphill then the grenadier could be called the king of the hill ^_^
And rocketeer turret mode should fly..... LOL
