No, there is absolutely no reason to take a standard ac over the clan Uac. I tested an ac20 to see if perhaps it wasnt burst fire, or perhaps it fired faster bursts but no. Uacs are smaller, and double tap..It will be interesting whenever they allow you to select ammo, but then that means the Innersphere Ac10 becomes obsolete....lol

IS wont get switch ammo capability. Paul already said as much.

If you hold the button down on clan normal acs they chain fire as normal, round after round once reload happens.

So, for certain builds, it actually could have a use. Interesting.

when I first got the Clan pack, guess I wasn't paying attention to which AC I is was buying and put standard AC on a few mechs heh!

If the devs keep their current firing mechanic for UACs in which you have to press the button for every single shot, then I'm about to use them in some builds.
Simple to be able to fire them continuously with holding down the button. To me, that matters sometimes. Although, I think that the current mechanic won't last.

That's also true for IS UAC5s at the moment, as you might recall from a previous thread. Chain-fired, they work like IS AC5s.

And Clan UACXs fire differently in chain-fire mode than the IS ones?
