I'd be curious to see if anyone could actually do 7xMGs and get over 200 damage. No ECM, range limited to under 240m, with 120m being effective range...

MGs are in such a bad state, that they will have to be paired with something like 2xLPL to make sense. Effectively a super-Arrow. I'd be curious to see if anyone could actually do 7xMGs and get over 200 damage. No ECM, range limited to under 240m, with 120m being effective range...

Ay.

If I can pull 200+ in a Locust with 4MG and an MPL, I'm sure I can do it in a Shadow Cat with 7MG and a LPL.

200 isn't much, bring that to 700, without consumables.


Should still be possible, but could be done so much easier.

I think Green meant with JUST 7 MGs. Adding a LPL makes 200 super easy.

That does make sense, after re-reading.

5.6 damage per second, it would take over 35 seconds of constant MG fire at optimal range. Without the CoF making you miss outright.


Before the 20% nerf, it would have only taken 25 seconds.

At least it's not a flamer!™

Yeah, but with only 7MGs, even with max armour, AMS? (I forget if the off torso has it, or the ECM/3B side has it), CAP for a giggle, think how much ammo you could take!

At 7T, you can fire all 7MGs continuously for about 3.5-4 minutes.

At 17T space, and only 3.5T with MGs, that's a possible 13.5T of MG ammo.
Enough to fire continuously for 8+ minutes, with a possible 2,160 damage. xD
Less 1 Ton for CAP if you want it.

And you know I've got to try this now.

Well....MG is at 0.8, Flamer is at 0.7....is pretty darn close.

Between limited hard points and very limited tonage and fixed JJs the Scat will be OK but far from great.

The ebon jag will be a force.

PGI needs to get its head out of its ass and stop over quirking the IS mech to the point clans are useless.

I've almost cancelled my clan 3 purchase after all the BS quirks and the 3 large laser buff ontop of it.

The flamer also weighs twice as much, generates heat, and has 3/8ths the max range.

It also doesn't have a CoF.
