GAU-8 Avenger




I want my MG crits back! All the QQ wanting more damage out of the MG nurfed what was one of the most "right place at the right time" weapons MWO ever had! The MG a while ago was more powerful than a LPL in the hands of someone that knew how to use them (less than 2%). Now they just sound good! Yaaa for the new people you have some damage and crits. Back in the day they had little to no damage and were crit masters.


But that’s the pattern in MWO, and what has drove this game into the ground IMO. Are the people who want everything to do damage and "boat" instead of some weapons to be situational and think outside the box.

Mortars are "lore friendly" and I would love to see those in game.
Instead of rocket launchers, etc. there is also the "lore friendly" MRM.

There are still a lot of "lore friendly" weapons that can be added; Heavy Gaus, Bombast laser, etc. Nice stuff.
Though I am not a lore fanatic like many who play the game, I think adding all the lore weapons first would be a good idea.

There are LOTS of "canon" weapons that will soon be available for both sides, depending on how PGI does this.

Personally, I'd love to see the Rotary Auto Cannons introduced but....since they basically turned Clan UACs into RACs...it doesn't much matter, I guess.

As for non-canon weapons....I'd love to see "Orbital Nuke Strike" added to consumables.

I don't think you can ignore lore and at the same time ask about weapons that you'd put in the game, as the weapons that are available in the game are there -because- of lore. There are no Gravity Bend Lasers or Singularity Warhead missiles in Battletech, and having them in MWO would be the stake through the heart of the game. Unless you keep to what exists from lore and within the timeframe the game exists, you might as well go play another game, and saying you would add such weapons is just stating your desire to destroy MWO.

Note that gatling guns already exist as different models of the standard machine gun (do the same damage but use smaller caliber ammo fired quicker to make up for the loss from using smaller shells), and larger versions are eventually developed called Rotary Autocannon by the Inner Sphere. However, these are at least ten years away by game-time.

Laser as projectiles like smaller variants of the ppc. Would love to see lasers like those in MW 2.

Why would you want to ignore lore when we don't even have melee combat?

AC1 so light mechs can use their ballistic slots without filling them out with crappy MGs.

A Mechs worst nightmare mines & Bolas, old school ways of dealing with Battle Mechs.
And if you wanted to be really evil microwave generator.

But yes the most useful would be smoke.

Great topic. Chaff and flare would be fun and look cool on the field. Chaff really could be included in the anit-missile system and maybe flare could be included in the command modules. Or maybe flare could have something to do with the faction ranks.

Flares could also be used in the scouting role for instance to send one up in the direction the other team is approach.

You know a lot of the real world weapons you all have listed exist in the Mechwarrior universe already.

Why think outside the box when the fun is already in there? This is a BattleTech universe game, you want Gundum weapons play that game.
