Some day PPC stalkers will start taking a single ERPPC so they aren't up poop creek without a paddle when the enemy gets close. It's not like the extra heat is significant considering the massive heat they work with anyway. I don't understand why people are so afraid to mix PPCs and ERPPCs. You want to be able to have the range and flexibility of an ERPPC but there's little point in having many ERPPCs because it's too damn hot.


i had a 4 ppc stalker. nowadays im down to 2 ERPPCs and some SRMs. yeah getting kills from far is harder but still verrry possible. as for anyone who gets close... you hate it when a 3x6SRMs DDC gets in your face, now think about 4x6SRMs + 2 ERPPCs with no minmum range. its actualy stronger than a ddc with an AC20 and 3 SRMs,,, see you out there.

Why do people spam about 6 PPC boating Stalkers and how it sucks when I did not even mention 6 PPC build?

I am just talking about how easy it is just to snipe people with PPCs. PPC takes less skill than Gauss (Gauss has delayed fire + slower travel time) and it is much more forgiving as long as you watch the heat and keep the finger on the overheat button.

I played 3D and the K2 til I got bored of my mind over last few weeks. Now I am trolling in A1 but I still think the PPC needs to be toned down.

Now I am not QQing, because I have more wins than losses and more kills than deaths in this game. I am just concerned about the current PPC and how it is much better alternative from the others.

Nope, the cooldown is between the beginning of shots so the effective recharge is 3.25 seconds.


Take a look at this video.


See how the guy shot the large laser at 1:30 and it finished recharging just about 1:35.

Can't dispute facts eh?

This formatting was funny for all of 5 minutes, but now it's just eye-tiring. You can keep doing that all you want, by I won't bother to read anymore. Just like, I supspect, many already. If you seek originality, try something that isn't already used by XX forum users.

You imply

I was reading

anything you

really had to say.

I assure you,

I do not care

if you read

my posts

or not.

It will be

your loss

for missing

the knowledge

I drop.

I was just talking about PPC's/ER PPC's in general.

I'm reading in many threads that PPCs have HSR. Don't think thats true. PPC may be an energy weapon but it behaves as ballistic. It has travel time and HSR for weapons with travel time (and projectile speed) is not implemented yet. Maby ppl should try out weapons before they ask for a nerf.

I did try them out. I Mastered my K2 and 1X and 3D using Dual PPC + Gauss combo. And I know they are bit overpowered.

PPC's are meant to be at the top of the Energy Weapon pyramid.

Their downfall is that PPC's cannot do very much damage inside of 90m, and ERPPC's generate so much heat that it's friggin painful.

I hope you

But...

If they are the top

of the energy pyramid

and I constantly

get owned by them

then all things are not equal

and that's just not fair!!!

So you do know that HSR is only for hitscan weapons,that is only lasers. You do know that when you 're close to your torso twist extreme, convergance is way off even when you don't have lower arm actuators on your mech. You do know that it's really hard to register a hit on lights going full speed in close range. The thing is that I do not consider those as bugs. That's the way the weapon is. I master it or go to something easier.
