We're not far from that now. The games I play in are full of PPC+Gauss standard. If every mech packs the same weapons aren't we already at a bunch of mediocre mechs using the same weapons over and over?
I don't believe changing PPC impulse speed or tying PPC and Gauss to the same charging mechanic will solve the issue. The best solution I've seen so far is splashing PPC damage further and/or my earlier suggestion of taking all other weapon systems out of the equation with Gauss. Let Gauss fire on its own and prevent any other weapons from firing while its charging and for 0.5 seconds afterwards.
