I thought they mentioned early on that Clan ER PPCs were not going to do 15 damage same as how Clan LRMs will still have a minimum range of 75m. Anyway, I just tend to prefer the better sustained rate of fire of standard PPCs especially on hot maps.
Yeah, I remember them saying that certain weapons will be locked to the mech like in tabletop and it says as much on the preview. But, that could change over testing depending on how the mech plays. It is still too early to tell at the moment on a lot of this.
They stated quite some time ago, maybe around 9 months ago, that clan weapons were going to be toned down, including ER PPCs not doing 15 damage. PGI has a reputation for not sticking to what they have stated, ever, so we won't have a truly good view of what they attempt to do with Clan tech until it's put on the test server unfortunately, no matter what they try to tell people ahead of time. Just like we really don't have an idea of how they will implement faction, or Community Warfare, or even how anyone will be able to purchase/use Clan mechs and equipment (other than the Clan preorders for cash at the moment). Will you have one Inner Sphere affiliated pilot and one Clan pilot per account, each with their own separately tracked stats and collections of available mechs and equipment? Will people have to choose if they are Clan or Inner Sphere only? Will mixed technology levels be allowed, will there be penalties if you mix, who really knows?
