Does anyone know how many PPCs you need in the 8Q to fire continuously in chainfire such that the cooldown of the first PPC is reset as soon as all are fired in 0.5 intervals with the new quirks taken into consideration?

6, I think.

Something like that... >_>

You cant do it with 4 and a PPC CD mod?

[KamikazeRat]

silicon....
1) have 8Q
2) have PPCs
3) squeeze as many PPC onto 8Q as humanly possible, outfit with CD module(if desired) and master chassis(at least elited)
4) go into training grounds, set a groups with 3, 4, 5, 6 in the group, set all to chainfire
5) after many overheating sessions, figure out which group works best
6) go back into mechlab, reduce PPC count to whichever group worked, fill the void with DHS.
7)wreck some face with your new PPC-GOD-8Q

You can do this in the Vindicator AA now with 3 ppcs lol, the Mini Awesome.

This thread brings to mind the days of the 6 PPC Stalker.

It's pretty sick what I can do even with just a basic'd 8Q. I have 4 PPCs and the cooldown mod, an STD300 engine and the rest filled to the top with DHS. I can spam chainfire PCCs for 30+ seconds without overheating. I've had dire whales cower in fear at my non stop PPC output. It's tons of fun!

That is exactly why I am now rethinking my attack patterns against Awesomes post quirk pass....

Seemed like almost 3 with the PPC cooldown mod and the new 8Q quirks. Four should probably do it...only played a couple games in it so I can't remember.

[Aggravated Assault Mech]

Pretty sure 4 would do it.

With the new quirks, my AWS-8R is chain firing Quad LRM15s non stop. Feels just like the LRM5 storm, except three times as heavy.

Perhaps Awesome should get a new name--The Chainsome.
