Exactly my thoughts.

Big weapon nerf..... cause otherwise the boating support in this game would not be possible. In addition to that, the armor boost makes weapons feel less potent/effective ...


IMO PGI wants longer lasting fights: more action on screen = more fun. Once we have state rewind for ballistics, we'll get the next AC20 nerf - after the intro of the Jäger, I bet! All in all the Gauss and AC20 nerf, which came with the Jäger is annoying. By now, I get less critical hits with my dual AC20 then I had with the single one before the Jäger.

Table Tops PPC and AC20 are also supposed to have vastly poorer accuracy and weapon convergence with no guarantee of multiple weapons hitting the same spot. Those damage/armor numbers would never work in a game with pin point accuracy and the ability to put multiple weapons on a single spot with no dice rolling getting in the way.

We just have to stop asking for nerf or fix, it is a losing battle. For every one of us that point out flaw of pinpoint accuracy there will be at least 3 others who will enjoy instakills by ac40 or hexappc. PGI might (but not likely) fix that in the future, but it wont be in recent future.
No matter what you offer, being cone of fire, convergence or straight out adding chance of missfire, they will oppose to that. There is a big game of wack-a-mole with nerf this/nerf that.
Weapon race is on, and doubt that for long (till afther they fix op ECM) there will be many lights on field, and probably very small number of mediums.

Compared to SRM spam pre-nerf, double ac20 are nothing. I've been playing only Jagermechs since they've been released and never use double ac20, but the ones I do come across often die before I do. They have to give up so much to use it and if they have XL engines they die incredibly quickly.
