ballistic now rips AWS mech apart. cannot sustain fire to compete with ac20, gauss or even smaller calibers.

patch has completely broken the ppc awesome beyond any help

what's your point?
this patch is a complete and utter failure.
it nerfed mechs that needed a buff

anyway; i decided i shouldn't play this anymore. as long as the AWS is useless i'll keep my mechs and my account parked, maybe for months, maybe years; i don't know.
byebye guys.
will be dedicated to my job now, no more games.

Can I haz your stuff?

Seriously though, you are telling me that one chassis is not awesome, so you quit the game?

Try the opposite approach instead, get another mech! The awesome is a very specific mech with a very specific play style. You need a good team around you that supports that play style.

Get into another mech dude, it will be like a revelation. You will be laughing and crying from all the joy and fantastic kills you will get. Because Awesome is everything but that.

At least 9m and Pretty Baby work better than great. Biggest XL engine you can get + speed tweak and you're a real pain for all those LRM mechs out there. Ditch those PPCs and equip some LLasers and SRMs, time to brawl! Most AC 20s have trouble hitting you not to mention focusing fire in the certain areas of your mech.

Switch to LPLAS, and learn to close with your targets.

I agree. This was the first thing I thought of when I played new patch. The increased PPC cooldown just promotes even more pop tarting, long distance sniping and staying behind cover.

The player that used to walk around in a fast mech like an awesome circling enemies ppcs blazing is gone.

What was the point of increased ppc coolddown...

PPC Cooldown doesnt affects my Gameplay at all. I play Awesome only and of cause use also ER-PPCs.
Do controlled fire, that suits your heating aswell. And use the range vs ac20....

Well then you were using them wrong.

It also encourages boating as their DPS is decreased.

Before you could get some really nice shots of quick. Thats what I liked about them. Now not so much.

wow, ok.
i have to rectify some things here; i was under the impression the awesome was bad BECAUSE of ppc nerf.

but now i realize, 50% of the time or more, ppc is just not registering!!! it's like they undid the HSR for it

and then some

anyone else? i can't be the only one to see ppc registration has gone insane this patch.

almost like an deliberate total nerf to ppc this patch, for unknown reasons
