when i don't forget to buy it.

it doesn't feel like it helps that much, just bails me out every now and then.
i only used it to finish off 2 or 3 mechs out of the 9-10 times i used it

[Ph30nix]

i dont get why people are so RAWR over it, the damn thing is useless, gives you MAYBE one more alpha per match, ya know how many games ive been in where one alpha would have made a differnce umm zero.

Go ahead and run Coolant Flush. When they activate Airstrike I'm paying the extra MC for the inferno gel option hehhehheh...

LOL, i might only run coolant this month

i swear i thought artillery was coming this patch too!

[Ph30nix]

i personaly am not going to use any of the consumables not worth it, its annoying enough trying to farm up cash to buy mechs and equipment i dont want to slwo it down more with consumables. maybe once i got everything i want i will but even then probably not/.

It seems to me it's really for those boating builds, like the hexa PPC Stalker, so you can get one more insane alpha off. It doesn't really seem useful if you've built a heat efficient mech already.

Eh, 10k CB for the low one doesn't seem that bad. Long as you have a free spot to put it and don't go through them like candy. Not being game breaking is a good thing though.

Have they ever commented if we'll ever see Infernos? Flamers just don't do my inner pyro justice.

Can you imagine an Inferno Splatcat?

Of course you like it, that's the point. Who would say "Oh, I suddenly have a lower heat – what a bad feature!"? The problem is that it dumbs down heat management and encourages boating and reckless alphaing without second thoughts to the consequences. Because thanks to Coolant Flush, there ARE no consequences. At least less than before.

[raptorak]

They should make it so that coolant comes as standard on every mech, and each time you use it, it costs 10,000 CBills to refill, deducted from your score at the end of the match.

agreed, circumventing the heat system (which is a core game play element) is a bad feature imo, even if it is a tiny percentage.

[jakucha]

I don't need it for my Jagermech.

[Kaspirikay]

I'm just going to run it, I don't need CBills and 40k will turn my avg earnings to 100k, about the same as when R&R was around.

which is oh, roughly 80% of what people plays

Le sigh...

[Budor]

Put it on 29/30 mechs, now i need a checkbox for auto-rebuy.

Yeah and because people already only play those builds, we need to give them even more incentive for doing so!

Play a high heat, high alpha mech and kill the first assault you see then run and hide!
