Gauss is still going to be OP as long as it has no heat requirement.

It's literally a unchallengable fact that gauss roughly translates to "Better than PPC"

It's kind of supposed to.

But the PPC doesn't have an ammo requirement, ways significantly less and takes up less space.....not to mention the PPC doesn't have any sort of ammo explosion mechanic to worry about.

That's the trade off between ballistics and energy weapons. Missiles are normally right in the middle somewhere....give a little, get a little. That's sort of how BT was designed.

Hahahha no.

Add in how many millions of heat sinks the PPC will need the gauss won't.

hats PGIs fault. PPC should only require 10 sinks to stay cool all match.

You're right, mine takes 12 on an ER PPC.

I wish the Gauss Rifle wasn't so much more likly to explode compared to Ammo. Ammo needs to be atleast/if not more likly to explode, compared to the Gauss Rifle. It's one of the tradeoffs that the other Balistics are missing.

Thats 12 doubles... You should never even notice heat at all!
