I've found this to be the case on the TBR-Prime. I just want to confirm that this is true for all 3 variants. Has anybody else tried this?

ACs, gauss, and PPCs all remove your hands and lower arms.

Read up here :) http://mwomercs.com/...specifications/

Arm Actuator Rules:
  • The presence of the Lower Arm and/or Hand Actuator is determined by the OmniPod equipped to the Mech’s arm.
  • Lower Arm and Hand Actuators can be toggled on and off by the user.
  • Lower Arm and Hand Actuators are forced off if an Autocannon (including Ultra and LBX types), Gauss Rifle, or PPC is equipped to that arm.

Worth noting that, as long as you do not have a PPC or AC there, you can toggle the lower arm actuator on for the left arm.

Doing so gives you some lateral motion, even in your AC arm, though it's significantly reduced compared to having actuators in both. Think VTR-9S AC20 arm versus the VTR-DS or -9K. Definitely useful.

It's not documented AFAIK, so I thought I'd share.

Btw, mount the Guass in your RT and ERPPC's in your RA ;)
