I just hope they don't get it. I like my ACs being thumpin' damage.
It would seem impractical to stream out 20 points anyways. To assure you get your 20, the spacing would have to so tight, that it would be moot. 4 x 5 in .025 someone suggested? Really, 2/100's of a second between first and last projectile arriving on target?
Not sure how fast a Mech would have to be running to not get them all on one panel, but I would guess that most Heavies and Assaults would never reach that speed.
As noted before. The AC2 already has a .52 second spread. The AC5 does 5 damage every 1.5s. The AC10 every 2.5s. Weapon stacking is the issue here. If you ride can't handle 2, 5 or 10 damage while you do nothing to mitigate it, well who is truly to blame?
P.S. I left out the AC20 as it has short range or can be used as a very heavy, slot intensive AC10.... Try and stay away from the AC20 Mechs.
