The HSR for Ballistics makes me want to spend money - it's that good.

I'm in New Zealand and my ping is usually 210.

With this HSR my AC20's fire immediately and I'm hitting far easier.

Cheers!

Won`t stop people from hording streaks though. Half the players will still blaim lag issues and boat nothing but streaks. Cheers for using a mans weapon.

It's pure AWESOME!

I hated my 4X 'Phract, now it's the only mech I play! 4xAC/2 and dakka those assaults into oblivion.

Haha. I got so used to the way it was before that I suck with them now. They made it better and now I'm worse. Oh well, I'll get used to it.

State rewind is awesome

[Rippthrough]

I owe whoever did the coding work on this phase of HSR some beers. It's awesome.

I'm playing bowling with lights and PPC's *BLAM - little mech rolls down hill*

I haven't been able to use ballistics til now.

Now that I can - which ballistics provide the greatest DPS?

[matux]

Yeah Trip UAC5 is much more fun now i can hit things tearing up Assault mech CT's with them is just gold.

AC/2s - run hot, best used in groups of three and more. Very limited ammo but you can push massive damage in a short period of time.

UAC/5s - heavier, require way more crit space, also tend to jam, a lot. Most mechs can pack only two of them, three only on Ilya?

It is indeed awesome.

PPC's are freaking deadly now, and i.... I CAN HIT WHAT I AIM AT.

No more obscure arcane rituals and chanting to try and find an aim off point. No more firing 5 or 6 shots of UAC5s to walk my fire onto a target like bloody world war 1 artillery.

Awesome.

I favor Lasers and ac20.... but just because of the rollout I stripped my ddc to just a 350std engine, ECM a pair of ER-PPC's and a pair of AC-2's. just to get a feel for the patch's effects.

DEFINITELY can feel the difference, and thats a good thing. I average a 70-90 ping, so I didn't think it'd help much... but then I plugged a 180ping jenner, and it all made sense. I do think ballistics/ppc's may be king of the battlefield at the moment.

I feel bad for highlanders though. Assaults are already a big target, and speed doesn't mean as much now that you don't have to imaginary aim your targets. I think they'd have been much more intimidating pre state rewind.

So far I'd rather meet one of them than another atlas.
well back to playing, I think I'll dust off my CTF-4x

You watch your mouth son. Streaks require the most skill of any weapon in any game ever!

You can fit up to four UACs on one of the Mic Jaggermechs, three is a more viable combo, though.

Try 3 or -4- UAC5 too. 3 is about eleventy billion times more viable than 4, but 4 is just amazing fun, until your ammo runs out after 4.3 seconds.
