Sorry Dude, I posted in the wrong thread, .

Excellent progress though. (I really need some sleep.)

lol, I don't think that ability was very high on the EU military's list of requirements from the engineers.

thanks hundred, I can see why, the thumbnails both have 2 legs and are both grey, lol

Okay, let's see if I can annoy you....
The little (little being a relative term!) radar/comms dish mounted on the back, given the tech level of the rest of the mech's 'fittings', have you thought about a rectangulat flat-pannel phased array instead?

I guess one thing is that we all instantly recognise a radar dish when it is round, whereas a rectangle might not be clear what it is.

hmm, I did the radar on the AA module looking at modern SAM vehicles, but I'll think about it. In the meantime here's a shot of the mixed armaments:

Where's my sling-shot?

nahh, forget changing the dish, parabolic dishes are still in common use, as you say.
If it works then use it, you don't have to go latest tech just for the sake of it.

I know the right-hand gun is still pretty powerful, but in terms of bulk it does look a little unbalanced don't you think?
Could the right-hand support twin guns?

This Mech is looking great!

you done a great Job so far.

@MB, ....sling shot? I know what you mean about the size, I've been thinking about that too. I've already made the magnetic gun quite a bit smaller than it was, and I'll keep the atgm module on the other side, since it's heavier than the sam module. Also the balancing computer for the legs can to some degree offset the balance the other way. Lastly another module will be added on the back on the side opposite to the coil gun.

@Freak, thanks mate

Well, I'm not a particularly religous man, but I would have though most people had at least heard of the story of David & Goliath.

Yeah, I have no doubt that the systems would be able to manage balance, I was just thinking of visual balance - from the viewer's perspective.

I hate to say it, and i dont know if there is any way to get around it. The Optics look way to verniable.

My Favorite line from a M1A1 Tank commander. I takes just one 3 cent. bullet to ruin $30,000 dollors worth of optics.

[Berkut]

yes...they do. But what can you do? Any sort of protection for the optics means they would be less effective. Besides this thing with all the modules has about 20 cameras.
