yeah, that's right,

lower heat cap, faster heatsink operation. 70% of max heat you start slowing down, 80% of max heat your targeting goes to pot (could function like a scaled back JJ misalignment of the arms) 90% heat you go into auto shut down. 100% heat your reactor goes critical and your mech turns into a crater.

make those changes and you would be able to kiss high alpha quad PPC and hexa LL good bye.

Further, tuning rate of fire as a function of heat dissapation would be much better than working around a clunky heat penalty, or rate of fire mechanic.

LET THE MECHWARRIORS LIVE OR DIE BY THEIR PILOTING SKILLS

Just my two cents.

I remember strapping 6 ERPPCs on my Annihilator and alpha-legging everything I came across before they could even scratch my armor. With such memories, it is kinda hard for me to imagine the heat system being a huge improvement. After all, the heat cap was still high enough for me to pull that off.

I agree. mech3 heat system would be great here. we dont have the coolant flush or the standing in water issues mech3 had, and otherwise the mech3 heatscale was brilliant, and the way guns like the ac20 hit hard but overheated fast was brilliant as well. LBX in mech3 was much better than the lbx we have here too, lbx in MWO is still much too weak at close ranges.

Give us the Mech Warrior 3 turning circles too.

And Aiming.

And Missiles trajectories.

I want hookers in my cockpit. Wait nvidia already had that promotion darn... But on a serous note, overhauling the heating system this close to launch might be bad. It would change the gameplay for the better, but it would take a ton of tweaking and pgi doesnt have a very good track record for tweaking. Just look at the large pulse lasers and ppcs.

If you are unhappy with the high alpha pinpoint ppc/large laser boats look at this thread and post your opinion on what you think the best option is and why.
