The AC 2 requires a heat adjustment when fired in groups faster then the chain fire delay of 0.5 seconds. This weapon system also requires an increase in ammo per ton.

The AC 2 suffers from two major flaws that limit its potential as a weapon system, Heat and ammo/ton. The AC 2 takes up way to much weight to make it a viable secondary weapon given its low damage output and when fired rapidly in groups of 2 or more the weapon system will rapidly overheat the Mech preventing the use of other weapon systems and that just dose not feel right. In addition to the poor heat efficiency ammo per ton for this weapon seam to be far to little.

With the steep heat penalty and limited ammo I do not see this weapon system being anything more then a novelty on the battlefield.

Agreed. Though I think recycle is fine, ammo and heat must be changed.

only reason i would choose ac2 over ac5 is to have faster fire, which is currently made impossible because of ghost heat

now even with ac2 quirks, the ghost heat really does not make sense

ammo / ton is the same as all autocannons so it it will probably not gonna change unless all change
