Did it make it this patch? It seemed like a much needed adjustment and specifically identified by Paul, but sadly not listed in the patch notes.

Wait a week and in the next patch ppcs will get +1 heat if the devs think it is needed.

***** devs.

PPC heat 10
ERPPC heat 15

That'll fix this PPC meta conundrum.

How many weeks do PGI need to add 1to a number?

Well, we are going on near 7 months....

I usually try to take the change process into account for these things (even if I think PGI's process is too conservative), but yea, this is silly.

Hey, they told us in ATDs they adjust numbers EACH PATCH... looks like it goes round robin style though.

They obviously want to see how the PPC and (er)PPC linkage works out for a week. But we do not expect a Banner boy, like yourself, to ever figure that out for yourself.

Think of it this way: the patch that works is the bullet in Russian Roulette. PGI just forgets to load the bullet...

No love for pulse laser either. though another nice nerf for the LPL, grouping it with LL. I think their weapon balance teams consists of 1 part time intern....

Sometimes the truth hurts and people like yourself can't accept it. The OP's question was valid and in fact, very intelligent.

No, it did not. If you check the arm chair post, you will see it and a few other weapons changes are slated for next week.

But, why are they going to lower the heat on the ER Large Laser? 1) nobody uses the damned thing cause 2) PPCs are better.

I use them with my 2 LRM15/2ERLL Catapult. Getting lock and launching works better with lasers than with PPC's since you dont have to lead.
