Aw Yiss, Cent AH has 3/3 for hardpoints. (Was it not 3B 2M in the past?)

SRM18+AC20?

Probably. It's going to hurt like a b**** in CQB.

Make sure you have a lot of ammo, though, you have no energy backups to fall back on if you run out...

MORE GHOST HEAT

BLARG

I guess this fixes the dumb situation where firing more LRMs in one configuration generates less heat than fewer LRMs in another, but more ghost heat is always a bad thing forever.

I'm looking at the tonnage now....not going to happen....Oh well.

Still, some nice loadouts can be made.

If I run out of ammo I can just follow around an assault mech to get my "Medium Protection Bonus"

The new rewards look amazing and seem like they'll promote teamwork. And LRMs. But mostly teamwork.

They got that up fast , that's cool.

You *can* do it (AC/20 + SRM18) using an XL 200. If you want 3 tons of ammo for each system you'll have 0.5 tons left for extra armor (this build is using the stock armor + Endo Steel).

So. Looks like the major bummer is that class III jjs are getting hosed.

Heavies get none of the love, but every other class does?

Sucks to be a heavy player.

[Monkey Lover]

ah.... i kind of liked the therma broke bridge

[Shadow Magnet]

What was the previous heat scale for PPCs when it now got changed to 7.0?

[Joseph Mallan]

Fairly productive Patch. Sounds like we have a lil more Role Warfare now which is a good thing.

Too many of you around anyway, you don't need any further encouragement.

I'm happy to finally see some role rewards in the reward structure; will be interesting to see how those affect the queues (and more importantly, light/medium play).

WTF... the n ew rewards may be realy cool, i have to test..<3

probably ac20, x3 aSRM4 for better groupings, ammo consumption and RoF. Never found 3xSRM6 very effective at dealing "useful" damage. But will undoubtedly try it both ways! Might even toss on the old 3x SSRM2 Light fighter version.

I pilot Lights, Sir. Bug Squad.

It was more a mention because 'Mechs like the Summoner are staying the same, but the JJ assaults are getting a buff. Seems bad.

PPC was 7, ERPPC was lower.

They are now the same.

I thought it was 12 for PPC and 19 for ERPPC, hm...

AH and Atlas S are up on Smurfy now.
