Yeah, MW4 did get damage very, very wrong...pulse lasers were an utter joke there....like 0.67dmg per shot and ****....lolwut?
There is a very big difference between Vengeance and Mercs when it comes to pulse lasers, just fyi.
In vengeance, all lasers had the same DPS per ton as the rest in their tech base. So ERLL, ERLPL, ERMPL, ERML, ERSPL, and the ERSL all had the same DPS per ton (something like 0.4 DPS per ton).
In mercs, they learned why that was a bad idea and increased the DPS on the pulse weapons to compensate for the difference between continuous fire and burst/alpha type weapons. They just didn't increase it to be quite enough, but they at least tried to make the weapons compete for different roles which is nice given the lack of really different energy weapons.
