well when all you see match after match is potarting ppc boats you know something is wrong with balance lol. imo its the heat threshholds and coolant flush (which we were promised would never come). now people can alpha over and over and to top it all off, they seem to be able to do this without coolant flush as well. 6ppcs shoud shut your mech down surely? or even cook your pilot alive! also the JJ should generate more heat, doesnt make sense these poptarts use their JJ all day long and it doesnt seem to add to the heat at all

Speaking of doing alpha after alpha without coolant flush: another player mentioned a trick where he could shoot, overheat, shutdown... then hit the power-up button manually, have his mech power up for a split second, take a snap shot with a gigantic alpha (and go to 180% heat or something ridiculous), and then manually power-down again. Since he was only powered-up for a split second, he doesn't take alot of overheat damage. Rinse and repeat.

I applaud him for thinking of doing that, and for finding that broken mechanic and being upfront and talking about it publicly. We are beta testing this thing, after all, it's kinda our job to find wonky mechanics and exploit them.
