Alright so I have no idea if this issue has just been around but I didn't find anything when I searched. In my Battlemaster I've been running a single AC2, a PPC, and 6 Mlas. The Mlas I leave on stagger fire to help control heat better. Usually I jus click fast to make all the lasers shoot, but I've found if I'm currently firing the AC2 by holding the fire button, it won't rapid fire the lasers. Holding one fire button down causes the Mlas button to act like I'm holding the button, firing one till it stops then firing the next. This is the Battlemaster I'm using http://mwo.smurfy-ne...fe128d46e3232b7 I have no idea if this is a software issue with my comp, or a problem with the game.

This is becouse the AC2 has a gimped chain fire system.

its the main reason rapid fire macro's were created and used for multiple AC2 loadouts, ofc since the ghost heat bug/nerf for Ac2's this is no longer possible ether.

Actually I just tested it and the ac2 has nothing to do with it. It's just holding one fire button down stops allowing me to rapid fire the staggered lasers. I fired the PPC and held the button and still blocked rapid stagger.

I must be miss understanding what u mean then sry.

Alright best way to explain is to have you see it yourself I suppose. Take any mech you own with two or more Mlas and at least one other weapon system. Go into the testing grounds and set the Mlas to stagger fire with backspace. Fire all the Mlas as fast as you can by rapid clicking the fire button for them (make sure all the Mlas are in one group.) Then press and HOLD the fire button for the other weapon system. While still holding it, again try to fire all the Mlas as fast as you can. Hopefully you will see what I'm talking about. If not then it must just be on my end.

this isn't just you I know this happens to myself and to some friends of mine. anytime you hold fire on one weapon group and other group you then fire that is in chain fire mode is stuck shooting in a very slow mode where it waits for every medium laser (or other weapon) to completely fire before firing the next. So I don't know if this is working as intended or if its a glitch, but it isn't just you Pigger.
