... in my spider 5k with full armor.... It just shouldn't happen. There's MANY ways to fix this without random spread(convergence, range lock on times, heat managment, energy systems, ect...), please implement a few soon before this game dies.
i have been 1-shotted three times also, and it is quite frustrating. i was driving a RVN-3L with max armor and 210 XL engine. usually it's by Stalkers with 4+ PPCs... and it was early in those games (while scouting), before i had taken damage. i went back to look, and my raven has 23 / 9 armor on his side torsos (front/back ratio). so 2 PPCs or 1 PPC + Gauss will remove all of my armor and start doing internals, and i die after the side torso is gone (because of XL engine)
i'm not sure what can be done about this, except possibly lower the PPC/Gauss projectile velocity. That would make it harder for large mechs to pin-point aim those armor-crushing weapons. what makes the whole system worse is the addition of "coolant flush" consumables. i don't use them, but i have seen PPC stalkers fire constantly and suck those down. people use to avoid large laser weapons like the ERPPC because it generates so much heat, but consumables take away that negative
