I prefer the streamed like look of the CBT vulture.

because aerodynamics are critical in mech design...  Wink

I'm sure the nose with arms and legs will change some more before the final version. There wouldn't be a poll otherwise. I think that the reason so much attention is being payed to the Vulture is that it's such an iconic mech for the serries, and it's been done differently so many times it's hard to get a consensus that this is what it should look like. The important thing in my mind is that you need to be able to look at a mech and just know, this is a Vulture.

Didn't you read my thread in the dev section where I propose a "400m Mech sprint" game mode? Cheesy

I like the original.  It looks unique like most of the Mechs originally did.  I remember seeing the second one in MW4 and wondering where the Vulture/Mad Dog was?  I would always be like, "oh yeah, that's it....why doesn't it look right?"   Doesn't look bad, just doesn't look like a Vulture.

All three look great but I'd keep the first one and the second or third if you wanted a variant.

I don't like the Hybrid at all. Not only because it's a "mixed up thingy", I also don't like the tip of the nose.

My favorite is the original one.
The MW4 Version is cool, for me it's part of MW history because I (almost) only know about the Mechwarrior Universe from the PC-Games (MW 1,2,3,4). (MW2 is still the best IMHO.)
Why not use both?



OT:
The modelling you guys are doing is astounding! I thank all you guys for reviving this great game. I have a very good feeling about this Project. It's made by people who know the Battletech universe.

Looks good sept the Nose gun I don't think Mad Dogs should have them (unless its the D configuration -the only cannon configuration that has guns in the nose.)

Remove the nose gun and I think it would look fine.

Or just go with the cannon look.

using both might be a good idea.maddog cbt version 60 tons
and the  mwllegends version as the vulture mark 2 65 tons tho if i remember correctly this might not tie in with your aimed timeline. what does the other guys here think.

There are no plans to include unofficial chassis in initial release, and I doubt the men in charge want them in subsequent add-ons either.

Personally, I like the arms as they are, but I'd have them mounted lower down and possibly inverted, then I'd go for the original Vulture legs mounted further back to keep the centre of gravity sensible.

sorry to who ever made this

due to trained eyes i can see how much work is in this model , even if majority is pinched from the older 2 mesh's
the work had to be done at some point didnt it, but there is still a good fresh amount of time spent on this guy

but i must say i think its horrid

the positioning of the arms and use of the mw4 legs make it look like a 50ton masakari

it just dosnt feel right to me

i think if the arms were repositioned to match the cbt it would look fine
as the arm design you have is beautiful its just positioned wrong

and the cbt legs are a must as many of us have said

personaly i have allways hated the chin turret, but would rather have it
than the mw4 legs, even mw4 had the timby's legs for game model


p.s.  id love to have a crack at this model myself see what kind of variations i could make

i think most ppl need to be opener to new ideas

1. the arms are great but a small tweak , but i can live whit them (like the others say )
2. legs... simply use cbt , im new here and in the mechuniverse but i can see that the cbt looks simply better

3. rocket pods should be longer to the ground (scretch them down )
4.turret is fine imo
5. torso should look longer now its to box- like

GOOD WORK
AVESOME

open you for new ideas
you have already over 15 other mechs 1to1 from the games
let one find new ways

and ah yea im new to the forums

I'd be all for new Mechs in the future.  However, we are all fans of the established base and many of us would like to see that base maintained versus what Microsoft did with MW4.

QFE. Classic BattleTech is a classic for a reason, and the mech models it had were good looking already.
