I`m finding zero difference with Clan SRM cooldown times, even when using a level 5 cooldown module. Takes exactly 34.5 seconds to fire ten salves with or without the correct cooldown module equipped.

Well, you're supposed to use the current SRM side module..

Since I don't think you screwed that up, I'm sure that's a "fun oversight".

8 damage / 0.38 s = 21 dmg/ sec. That is pretty hefty even for a limited out but put that on a Jager, you get 31.6 dmg/s which can heavily damage mechs before going down.

The AC/2 cooldown is not 0.38s. The base cooldown is 0.72s. Fast fire skill gives -5%, and the module would give -12%. Combined this is -17%. This would bring our new cooldown time to 0.5976s.

So, accelerated ghost heat.

What a wonderful idea...

The Cooldown modules have the same problems that the "heat penalty" had previously for the range extender modules.

The gains are generally not much of a benefit given the heat system, so it's back to mostly ballistics benefiting from them.

One can slow down one's firing rate when heat kicks in...although I think that 0.59ish is still just high enough to bypass the 's?

Sure, but not if you chain fire...

If you're chaining, then heat is gonna haunt you no matter what modules you use (or don't use).

What it does is let you run bigger, slower firing weapons more efficiently. It's barely noticeable with medium lasers. PPCs, UAC20s and the like though? It's very noticeable.

If you're not using this with gauss rifles, you are wrong.

Zero drawbacks.

6xUAC5 Dire Wolves will be happy. 18,06 (36,12) DPS goes up to 20,2272 (40,45) DPS.

GGCLOSE.

How much better is it compared to chargeup?

Haven't you learned yet? Never buy anything when it's new, because it's bound to be nerfed hard after a while.

Or, buy everything right when it comes out so you can enjoy using it before it gets hit with the nerf bat.

Why no AC/2 cooldown mod? Sadface.

We *STILL* don't have AC/2 cooldown modules! What is PGI going to do about that with the skill tree? Wasn't there something in regards to Ghost Heat that made it problematic to implement?

Ah I misunderstood, I thought it had cooling down effect, not just firing rate.

Yeah "cooldown" is a gaming term specific to wait times between usage of a given function, in this case it means firing rate, understandable mix-up.

The Cooldown ones actually increase heat per second.

Firing more frequently means you're generating more heat more quickly.

LOL.

Now this is a necro. Well done.
