heaven forbid that Clan's get their true stats for their weapons back because that would give them back their edge that they should have had in the first place.
after all its not like the unwarranted quirks the IS mechs have more than make up for the Clan's tech in the game.
I'm not saying that Clans need their canon stats. That would make them overpowered, and thus they would always have the advantage. What I'm saying is that Clan weapons
do need to work properly, though. The way I see it, the C-ERML is in a position that some weapons, such as the IS PPC was before quirks came around. It was an awkward weapon to use, and as such, people didn't like to use it. Now, the Clan ER Med is literally their basic laser weapon, and all other laser weapons seem to be based on them, speaking in terms of stats. Because of it, this can potentially throw the other laser weapons out of wack, in terms of damage, heat, cooldown, or burn duration.
In addition, this thread isn't even about damage. It's about a few changes to both IS and Clan medium lasers. What I was pointing out was simply that many Clan 'Mechs use large amounts of ERML. Why? Because they're filling out tonnage and hardpoints, and other lasers are too hot and heavy, while smaller lasers have range that is too small. Many Clan 'Mechs use primarily ERML, and as such, I would like to see a bit of tweaking to see what that changes.
