Its 7 tons and 7 crits... no one in their right mind would use it, except maybe on a Dual Gauss Masakari.

As i discussed with some friend probably Mark I and Mark II would be the more common ones due the odd mix of 1 spare slot 1x ton or 2x spare slots and 2x tons.

Being the other options more ammo or Heatsink

I use the MkVI on my SCR laser sniper. I am having a blast doing surgery at 1000 meters.

WTF @ the targeting computer?!

Mark VII gives 15% projectile speed increase? That's massive! Clan Gauss can now go 2300 m/s....

And 7.5% range and max range increase? COME ON!!....

LOL WTF IS PGI THINKING HERE?!

Not sure if you noticed but that Targeting Computer if heavy! BTW, Atlas D-DC still works over all Clan Assaults.

oh look another one of those topics where the OP has no clue and just claims something to be "OP" just because the numbers say it gives certain bonus..

as people already said before about its tonnage and crit slot, i seriously doubt that a lot of people will even carry it... 7 tons gives you plenty of options to put out weapons instead...

This thread made me laugh because the OP went on assumptions that are totally false, Gauss Rifles dont even gain bonuses from the TC only ACs, UACs, PPCs, and Lasers do. Now im digging the Mk VI on my 2 ERPPC, 5 ERSL Timber Wolf just because those ERPPCs are now leaping out of the barrel at near the same velocity as a Gauss Rifle.

Just remember what they say about assumptions...

actually the notes just say:

• Projectile weapon projectile speed increases by 13.5%

Where did you read that it don't affect gauss?

[Cavendish]

Considering the PPC is not a beam weapon, nor really a "projectile" weapon unless you use the term broadly, has anyone bothered to check if the TC actually affects it?

[ebea51]

It also needs 7 slots and weighs 7 tonnes... that's MASSIVE.

Its a huge reduction in weapons and ammo you can put in your mech... ALREADY in mechs that are significantly constrained by critical slots due to armour, structure and heatsinks you CANT move.

There are going to be VERY VERY few mechs that will be able to afford to fit a MK7 targeting computer too... let alone weapons and ammo for a match. It will be very specialised and very weak in a LOT of other areas.

It will balance out.
