I run a 5LL Stalker a LOT and I can cycle through all 5 continuously 5 times on most maps before heat is a concern.
The trade-offs are there. Whether they're "worth it" is subjective to an extent. The community is very vocal on this subject but also just about evenly divided.
Just as many that hate the way ballistics currently work, like the way they work now. So you have 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
I have only 3 mechs on this acc, all laserboats and I am not doing bad with them. Had to grind to master them, but after they were mastered i started doing good...
On my other acc i have a jm-dd not mastered, just basics. Sometimes i use 3xac5, some times ac10 or ac20, doesnt realy matter much- ballistics are easy-mode. I do more damage, more kills and never overheat.
It wouldn´t be such a problem if all mechs could use acs, but since there are a bunch that cant....
Doesn´t need a huge nerf or buff to fix this, just a few little tweaks and everything is fine.
