The PPC boat wasn't OP, while sporting 6 PPC's was extremely funny, it wasn't the powerhouse people are claiming it to be. The PPC boat was sluggish and required an XL engine just to make ends meet, making it an easy target. I've gone through my Awesome countless times tweaking it and while yes it does play ball even with Clan mechs (Current iteration sports 5 PPCs with an XL300) I still find myself being overwhelmed by overpowering firepower in the face of sheer numbers despite the improved cooling of the Awesome and on Alpine Peaks.

Despite having such high burst in the 60 point alpha strikes, the prolonged shutdown it caused prevented the mech from dealing any substantial damage to make it a serious threat.

The 4 PPC stalkers were the real threat, with 8 heat per PPC and a scaling min range, instead of the nothing at 89.

4 LL boats have similar heat profiles to those old quad PPC boats, though slightly more heat efficient because of the heat over time instead of 8 instantly, and a .25 second longer recycle.

To hell with Meta. Min maxing uncreative drones are half the cause for the constant buff nerf cycle in this game.
