big reason why having 1 big gun. or several of the exact same gun is better than a mix loadout build.

Sigh.. boating has so many things going for it

No Complaining no Wall of Text. Good Post!

I'm not sure where you got the impression that there is "no complaining"
in the "I complain about AC post"

As leader of the Squirrel overlords I disagree with this post.

With every ballistic weapon:

A. Having to fire constantly to maintain any sort of DPS or advantage.
B. Having different projectile speeds than each other

you are left with 2 real options.

1. Boat the same AC variant (which everyone does.)
2. Be a god of FPS games and constantly be adjusting for 2 different projectile speeds within microseconds of firing the guns so you can use two different weapons (nobody can do this.)

As such, how about we just increase all non-AC20 AC projectile speed to that of the AC/2. If you want you can even leave out the UAC/5, just make it so normal AC weapons can be at least used together. I don't even care about their balance, I just want ot be able to use AC/5s and AC/2s with each other, and maybe even an AC/10.

ballistics work fine for me, though I mostly use PPCs because A. Kurita and B. PPCs are blatantly superiore3 to ACs.

I guess I'm quite extreme then because I like to run 2xAC2 on one arm and an AC20 on the other. It's true that at 300-400m and upwards you have to compensate for the different ballistic speeds, but since AC20 has so few shots/ton I rarely fire it beyond 200m and I just take a short break with my 2xAC2 when I aim and fire the big gun, which let me conserve a bit heat that is often needed with several AC2s anyway.
