I have recently been pointing out that DHS 1.4 and Heat Scale hit Energy weapons so much harder that Ballistics and Missiles that there is no point in changing your Mechs loadout even if you are going to a Frozen World map like Frozen City at -200c.

Well a -200c map should allow the use of extra Energy weapons with fewer heatsinks. It's more about being true to the simulation of a Mech.

MWO's Energy-only Mechs overheat too quickly, especially if they are carrying more than Medium Lasers, on every map, this based on my experiences with other MechWarrior games. And MWO won't be able to run many of Battletech's famed stock Energy-Only Mechs like the AWS-9M, Clan Supernova Prime, Clan Novacat Prime, Clan Behemoth (any), and many more.

All of this aside, MWO should at least increase the enviornmental effects of the Frozen World maps exponentially so players can feel the difference in how their Mech handles Energy weapons much better, allowing more to be used, and making Energy the preferred loadout for these maps.

Why? Battlemech Simulation.
