Must admit I have stopped using PPC's (both er and normal) creep up behind a target - alpha in back and nothing happens. Seems with PPC's for me at least it RNG if they work from game to game.

And nothing beats firing at a dire wolf in the rear and seeing all 3 shots disappear into the void - I mean how do you miss a stationary dire wolf at 100 m.

Seem to have occasionally the same problem with Laser's and SRM's

I think the problem lies in the paper doll damage mechanic. It has to Flash several times after registering a hit. Remove that. Just change the color on damage eliminate the flashing STUFF.CLAN adder fire 2 CERPPC most of he time only 1 registers been like that since release. I have not been using them much because of that unless 1 at a time sniping.

Mechs in the Training grounds need to be reworked to stronger builds with better armor ammo distributon. What is the point of the training grounds if they die quick from ammo explosion.

There was an idea that for some bug the splash from ppc hit is counted as a hitreg surface and hence is damaged (to no benefit) by any other ppc that hits it. And maybe other shots are affected... Should be checkable though.

Just curious,

I have been playing my AWS-9M again cause of quirks going: 3xerppc, 2x ML, STD 320, 19 DHS and I think a bap or something like that.

After 30 or so games on this chassis since quirks am doing ok, still positive w/l and k/d.

However, is the hit registration off for erppc's?
I see alot of going through target?

I mean i am not the best shot with erppcs, but in one match I had a dc locust and sat at 100m hit him 6 times with erppc in torso no damage (went through) had to kill him with my meds.

Many times i think in a match i hit alot and see 300-400 dmg...

I actually calculated last match just for laughs: 75 shots on target, 15 miss shots (under 1k range), 15 ML hits. Should have been around 700+ dmg etc, Got 2 kills and 500dmg.

Just curious any1 else find the hit reg of erppcs off?

Not just erppcs ... lasers, some auto-cannons are having the same problems.
