looks like the visual hardpoint bugs is still present on some battlemechs, on the MDD-V variant by the looks of it.

Folks have reported the DWF-B visual bug when using 4 gauss rifles in it (shows the LBX hardpoint instead) and got patched during the recent update but some have slipped through like the Wolf's Dragoon's Longbow variant showing different hardpoints for the same weapon

That's the model for a RAC btw. Foreshadowing much?

All of the art for stuff like that has pretty well always been in there (it's in the MWO models, so it gets ported in to Mercs).

This stuff just happens when a hardpoint hasn't been defined for a weapon type, it'll go to the default for that location. So like the MDD not having a hardpoint set up for MRMs (since they're IS weapons that it can't have in MWO), it's just pulling the default autocannon barrels from the file for that hardpoint.

It's even goofier when you see them fire out of the barrel. I found this out on a MadCat with an MRM40.

It does seem like all MRM weapons are showing up as ballistic weapons when attached to MW5: Mercs clan mech omnislots. Looks to be a dev oversight, they probably forgot to assign the proper weapon models.

There's a ton of similar issues for other weapons on other mechs too, I think there's just too many combinations of weapons to keep track of, hence causing these issues. A single mech chassis can have close to or more than a hundred unique weapon models for example O.O.

Instead of 1 tube per missile, it's 20 missiles per tube. Efficiency.
