Large lasers and PPCs do the same amount of damage. However, lasers are much more forgiving. If you are a good enough shot to actually hit with a PPC, then you are definitely good enough to get all your laser damage on the same spot. I understand that PPCs hit all their damage on one spot, but still, they are almost are pointless.

The PPC needs to be re-engineered. It was supposed to be one of the most powerful weapons in the game.

It gets a velocity boost tomorrow meaning it'll be easier to hit with.

PPC does all of its damage against a single area where as large lasers burn for 1 second (10 pulses, each doing 0.9 damage) and can spread that damage over various area and/or the ground.

I use both, but for long-range sniping strongly prefer the PPC (ERPPC, specifically, so as to avoid the short-range damage loss)

They do need to fix PPC's. The speed boost thing is great, but I remember them doing more.

In "other" games the ppc was 15 damage vs the current mwo 10. It was feared and used often for a reason. It was better damage though more heat than the L. laser

Clan PPC are 15 damage. IS PPC have always been 10 damage. Man Beer, you're on a roll today.

That's interesting. However, I remember it being really powerful in MW1 and mw mercs. maybe the weapons against it were weaker?
