While my x is not capital, I do inform people about the issue, when I see it. Although I never say they do no damage, I say you could do more damage. Anyway, most likely I once tried to help you, while spectating. At least I recall watching two-part pilot name kurita K2 with PPCs to fight some assault from 50 meters, when he could have easily widen the cap to 90m.
I won't hold the 'x' against you, since it was lower case
I don't own any K2s - I'm usually using Stalkers. I too have noticed some players walking right up to an opponent with their PPCs, but once they're that close, there isn't much they can do about it. They can't back up any faster than their opponent will advance to close the range.
I'm the opposite - I usually hang back to make the shots from range. I try to stay 500-700m from where I anticipate the opposing team will show up (500-700m from either the ridge in frozen city, or the break in the ship run aground in forest, or on one of the outlying hills in caldera). I don't really have a favorite spot in the city map yet - it's hard to predict which route the opponents will take. I am sometimes told to 'stick with the group', but that's usually a bad suggestion since 'the group' wades in to fight at close range, or wanders in front of my shots as I fire (when you're zoomed in maximum, you don't have peripheral vision to notice someone walking into your line of fire until it's too late). I try to tail 'the group' a few hundred meters behind if they're moving as a clump, so that I can watch their backs in case a light tries to circle them.
