>>166363796
There's a general solution - you take as many tonso of ammo as guns or launchers you have +1.
It's enough in general, does not apply to MG and AMS and if you're bouating single weapon or have no enery equipped.

>>166363958
3 tons is the limit for any mech that doesn't have ways to survive for extremely long. Even 2 tons is usually enough for most players within their average lifespans.

Energy draw could go fuck itself the moment they backpedaled on clan pepsi.

It was a shitty duct tape fix anyway, for something that would be solved better by making heatsinks high dissapation low capacity instead of the other way around.

>>166372852
That line of thinking kept fucking over clan tech more on hot maps.

Since hot maps only provide +4% extra passive heat, high capacity heatsinks barely feel it. The -30% heat dissipation rate that high dissipation heatsinks got on hot maps however screwed clans something fierce.

Not to mention, in order for high capacity vs high dissipation heatsinks to be fair, the high dissipation would have to be so efficient that by the time an ERPPC finishes cycling its cooldown period, A vast majority of the heat it generated should have dissipated already.

>>166374924
I mean all heatsinks are supposed to be dissapation and not capacity.

>>166374924
>Not to mention, in order for high capacity vs high dissipation heatsinks to be fair, the high dissipation would have to be so efficient that by the time an ERPPC finishes cycling its cooldown period, A vast majority of the heat it generated should have dissipated already.
Yes, that is the idea. In the context of reigning in the total alpha damage of a mech the capacity vs dissipation thing can have a pretty strong effect that is balanced on a knife's edge between being under the heat limit or over it. So as long as it forces players to space out their weapons fire based on their heat gauge rather than the 0.5 second spooky heat barrier, it will work out, probably.

Clan DHS doesn't need to be exactly balanced against IS DHS because we are going for complete parity between both tech bases here. The Clan DHS is allowed to be inferior overall in return for being smaller.

>>166375361
This. Increasing heat cap was a huge mistake, it only reinforces the hit and run peekaboo high alpha mentality. To be honest the most a mech should be able to fire is 2 PPCs simultaneously. Which I guess still allows for Goose+2PPC builds, fuck. We're all fucked. Dead game.

>>166386450
The spl and memeguns is a good time, but it's getting nerfed tomorrow because no fun allowed.

>>166386487
>RAC2's and RAC5's

PGI will more than likely make RACs close range burst cannons like clan UAC's.

RAC2's would pretty much be a clan UAC2. Would probably have worse range than normal IS AC2 (which bad already), depending on whether they make it fire 1 or 2 rounds per trigger, it'll either be better than IS AC5 or worse than it.

RAC5's would probably be better than AC10's. Similar range, slightly more heat, higher burst even if its a stream. Less tonnage for more damage either way.

>Hyper Assault Gauss Rifles

Unless PGI somehow implements combat vehicles and battle armour or aircraft, theres no point for these things. It'll take longer than a normal Gauss Rifle for it to unload its payload, which means that more than half of the rounds/ slugs are going to spread because your enemies torso twist.

A rapid rate of fire, essentially a fat, fragile machinegun serves no purpose in the current peek and poke circlejerk framework of the game.

>>166386492
How bad? Tomorrow is my birthday :(

>>166388260
>How bad? Tomorrow is my birthday :(

It's having most of it's memegun quirks removed, otherwise should be fine.

>>166388158
I envision RACs as being continuous fire auto weapons with low damage per pellet but with the full ungimped 6x DPS potential as its selling point.

>A rapid rate of fire, essentially a fat, fragile machinegun
Which is why it should fire fast enough with such a high velocity that this is not a problem and 40 burst damage at close range with 0% chance of jamming is worth the trouble. It has random projectile spread as its balancing factor, also the weapon goes kaboom. With a ghost heat limit of 1 the HAG40 can be crab-wielded for guaranteed 80 damage within half a second up to 720 meters away even if the 5-damage shots are spread out.

>>166389734
>40 rounds fired in half a second

Nah m8, PGI won't add it like that. It'll be fired within 1 second, and that provided with spread will make it utterly worthless for it's intended role in brawling.

>>166389905
Ah right, I am sleepy and forgot about the fire time. Half second refers to the ghost heat though it may not even be a real problem for sniping assaults.

1 second isn't going to kill accuracy when the spread isn't that bad. Assuming it isn't that bad. If it can put all shots on a big target at 500+ meters then it will be pinpoint up close. And the HAGs have an accuracy penalty within the 2 hex min range so they were never intended for brawling in any case, who ever said they had to be brawler weapons in MWO?

They are the compromise between the UAC/20 and the CGauss with a touch of NO JAMMING, so use it as implied.

>>166391967
>gauss rifles are supposed to have minimum range

No they're not dumbass. They just have a slight accuracy penalty at very close range.

>>166391967
The min range is represented by the charge mechanic which makes it clunkier up close, at least that's the idea.

The real travesty is when they turned the Pepsi damage calculations from a smooth reduction into an instant zero the moment the target is within 90m. It isn't even like IK where performance issues were a genuine excuse but what did they even do this for?

>>166391967

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Gauss_Rifle
>Minimum Range 2

It has only one hex smaller minimum range than the normal IS ppc. If it worked on the same ass-backwards fucktard piggy logic, it would do literally 0 damage against something that's at 60m or closer. And that goes for both IS and Clan gauss.

>>166390725
A weapon that has accuracy penalty up close means it'll likely have spread. Any spread is exacerbated exponentially at range.

If it has a minimum firing distance, there will be no reason to bring that when you can just bring an LBX20 or god forbid, a UAC20.

Since it's a rapid fire weapon, it'll have an innate accuracy penalty due to the stream of bullets like the heavier clan ultra autocannons.

>>166393397
except that's wrong

Minimum range simply applies a -1 penalty to hit.

It's an abstraction. The lore reason is because robots feature complicated internal elevators and tubes, like you'd see on a contemporary battleship or cruiser.

Moving ammo from X to Y isn't that much of a challenge, but storing it in X to begin with is retarded when your gun is a dedicated limb, so robots that are notable for awful gun and/or ammo placement are almost universally infamous pieces of shit, or quirky weapons of mass destruction, if you can find spare parts.

>>166430106
You mis-understand my point. piggi is known to reuse assets. This is practically ancient meme stuff.

??? they're like heavier mediums with more armor and firepower but they go slightly slower ~80KPH

My bad, what I should have said was I saw Greg piloting the Zoose and wanted to be just like him, so I bought a Zoose along with various shitmechs and soon realized that Zoose a shit, sold my entire dropdeck for Kodiaks and never dropped with Greg ever again.

>>166432438
81KPH is not as fast as 104KPH, and Mechs like the Ebon Jag are too wide and don't twist as far as the Stormcrow either. Crow gives me the perfect blend of power and speed that I like on a Mech.

Unless there's a Heavy that goes at least 96KPH while also having much more free tonnage than a Stormcrow (23 tons), I'm not seeing a huge benefit.

>>166432595
Linebacker goes exactly the same speed as Stormcrow.

As far as graphics go the beta wasn't any better than what we have currently. Way too much motion blur and blurry effects. The netcode was also beyond horrible. But everyone was running around in basically stock mechs and double heat sinks had double efficiency.

Also flamers were OP and hilarious. 9x flamer hunchbacks would be running around overheating people right before blowing themselves up with overheating.

I will enjoy raping the bushwanker.

The armour quirks on most of the mechs getting them in this patch won't change much, they'll just be better damage sponges to farm points off of.

>DRG-FLAME

This one got arguably a bit better, 4x LPL build with the armour of a 75 tonner. Even with an XL255 you're running at 70kph.

>DRG-FANG

3x LPL or 3x ERLL, personally more partial to 3x LPL for super efficient, fast burst machine.

>CTF-IM

Got better, since it had less structure than the other variants. Runs 3x LL + 2x UAC5 or 2x PPC 2x UAC5 nicely. 3x UAC5 is still there, though a bit jammy for my tastes now.

>zoose and hurrlander

Hahaha, fuck off. They're trash. 80 and 90 ton mechs with the firepower of 60-65 tonners. Extra armour on the homolamprey means you're just going to get farmed more. Accel/ decel on the zoose means fuck-all when your opponents are melting your side torsos in two alpha strikes.

>Onions

Literally live up to their meme name now. Peel off their piggy given layers, and everyone can see what stinky things they are inside.

No, we actually had, in the following order, engine single sinks, external single sinks, 0 heat external single sinks, external single sinks that worked properly, plus the ability to stack extra sinks in the engine based on rating.

Then we got dubs. Originally, dubs did nothing, or so we thought. Kong science wing launched a heavy investigation, and it was discovered beyond the shadow of a doubt that external dubs, even those stack inside engines, did absolutely nothing, but the engine dubs worked at full effect.

Then PGI reversed it, so the engine dubs stopped working, but now your external dubs did, and at full dub capacity.

The patch that added the stupid oilrig gundanium mining base was also the one that sorted dubs 'once and for all.' Engine dubs worked like they should, but stacked- and external dubs only operated at 1.4. How in the sweet name of fuck they did this is anyone's guess.

Anyway, Paul 'felt that it was just about right,' and the truedub engine sinks and external/stackable poordubs remain to this day, with added changes on top, because position changes.

Much later, they added OP as fuck clan robots, using compact sinks and engines, and by late 2016, they'd finally made singles not suck completely, and created a sort of difference between IS and clan.

What's even MORE baffling is the fact that they clearly have the ability to differentiate between engine internal and external heatsinks.

So why not have all engine heatsinks be equal value no matter the tech, and then just have singe and double heatsinks give their own positives and negatives?

Wham bam, now you can actually justify taking single heatsinks on tonnage free but space constricted builds.

Except tardo. he can go fuck himself

>>166484701
Even dashing? Fuck that guy.

>>166484759
I wish he would almost get headshotted

>>166484701
y-you too anon

i wish heatsinks just dissipated heat instead of raising heat threshold

>>166485037
Wasn't that the game you guys went over the walls?
