Loving the new PPC quirks on my VND-1R. (the same PPC buff is on the 1AA, but honestly, I prefer LRMs on it, so I only PPC in my 1R)

VND-1R

Is it hot? Not as much as it seems. Because I pretty much never combine the lasers and PPCs....unless it's a shot of opportunity. But if I use my mobility and stay at range? I can fire my PPCs nonstop 16 times before overheating. That's some pretty good PPC spam.

with the new projectile speed boost, the PPC is cooking along at 1330 m/s. Much more useful at range again. Combine that with the jump capability and agility of the chassis, and it also can poptart pretty well in a pinch, while repositioning (or trying to minimize exposure).

Of course, I know, thanks to our forum experts, that the chassis is DoA. But for those who don't care, don't mind being sniggered at and willing to have some fun, give it a whirl. The little Badger of Tikonov might just surprise you.



Cheers!

I love the AA with Dual PPC's. I put both on one arm to allow for better corner sniping. It's even in my CW deck.
