      i see no problems here 😒

      Guns can point up and shoot high arc, even the guns shooting through the fat boy is better than uef having a worse version of the crab

        a quick edit of a possible model change to fix the clipping

          i would also move the forward turrets forward so the nose isn't reducing their arcs

            also your firing arc image in the op doesn't account for the gun offsets

            MadMax making me reveal all my secrets 😛

            Yes, I know. I make one using the individual turret positions but it made things more complicated for no reason, so I simplified it.

            Mine looks significantly different to yours though, even accounting for the different Fatty orientation.

                Here you can see the Fatboy is a massive experimental assault bot that resembles a heavily armored and armed spider. Its design is characterized by its eight legs, making it reminiscent of an arachnid.

                As you can see, the fatboy fires its missiles in a distinctive parabolic arc, allowing it to target enemies beyond its direct line of sight.

                    This firing diagram the fatty should have 4 guns straight ahead, 3 to the side, and 2 to the rear, adjust DPS to compare to the current fatty of 2 or 3 guns = 4 guns now of the more attacker friendly one so attacking your get your fps your used to buy running away you only get around half your used too.

                      note that the fatboy can now drive backwards, meaning you can micro it like a Megalith, still dealing full damage during the process.

                        i see no problems here 😒

                        Obviously the front turrets should be low arc, the back turrets should be high arc. NO CLIPPING PROBLEM THEN
