Greetings!

Please tell us your thoughts on the C-ER PPC energy weapon system!

[Frantic Pryde]

This weapon seems bugged. Doing almost no damage from what I can tell...maybe only the splash damage?

I have on video me taking a hit from one, damage dealt to 3 components. Left arm, and both side torsos' rear armour. Not sure where the initial hit was (came from rear). But from what I understood of the writeup, damage is spread to adjacent components, not sure how it skipped the centre torso. It's definitely doing damage, but is it WAD?

[Jelik]

It looks and sounds absolutely glorious but there definitely seem to be hit detection issues.

[NoTime]

Well, it's not the most important issue, but sound effect of Clan PPC is quite disturbing, I mean, not pleasant

[screw ball]

i really dont like the sound on this one

[Kivutar]

isn't the clan version of this weapon supposed to 15 damage?

[Krazgaar]

I got 4 kills from this weapon alone in a single match piloting the Summoner Prime. Sounds and looks awesome.

[Pezzer]

C-ERPPC is perfect when it comes to balance. I couldn't suggest any changes to make it better.

I really like the splash damage, but it's very hard to use two of them on a Summoner with 23 DHS total if not taking a break after every couple of shots.
It might be OK, but if we want to tweak it (more splash, less heat), it could look like this:

CERPPC 9 + 3 +3 dmg /14 heat
ISERPPC 8 +1 +1 dmg / 14 heat
ISPPC 6 +2 +2 dmg / 9 heat

It does, 10 FLD, 2.5 to 2 adjacent components=15.

Overall, I kinda like these things. Fairly punchy, and paired up on my over heatsinked Warhawk, its pretty beasty.

[Corbenik]

I love the sound of it but yeah seems like there are Hit issues

[P e n u m b r a]

bugged damage

Is that on a tooltip somewhere cause its not obvious about the splash

It's not on the tooltip for now.
But for now, it's available in the command chair post here:

Too hot. But you knew that I am sure. Still, it is too hot to use even two of them. If they did 15 point damage well, you would have a leg to stand on by making two take 10 seconds to cool down enough to shoot again. Suggest you give us a bone and lower Clan ERPPCs to 12 heat since they do 5 splash and Clan has no regular PPC. See how that works.

I didn't see any Clan mech with ERPPCs today, not even the Masakaris and Adders That's just not right.

[Sylvian Le Fabre]

Definitely Hit Registration Problems. Heat is fine, maybe 13/14 is better.

Sound is great!
And if i remember correct, the Tooltip stil says sth about 10 dmg.

[Gladewolf]

Is the tooltip correct? These are usable, I like.

[tucsonspeed6]

Just nailed a Shadowhawk point blank in the leg twice with the Puma. Paper doll showed no damage. Hit reg is definately bugged.

[Docta Pain]

I got "hit" by several ERPPCs and my mech shook and I heard the sound, but was still at full armor... good for me since I didn't buy a clan pack, but...
