Both of these weapons, while usable, are really underwhelming. The AC10 doesn't justify itself compared to the AC5 or 20. It needs more range/fire rate. I'd even go so far as to ton it down to the same as the lbx.

The AC2 is better but is only really worth it on anything that's too light for AC5s. I think they could weigh less and it'd be worth it. Yes I know, these are the TT values but this isn't TT, it's a live action video game and should be balanced as such. However, lore friendly suggestions are welcome as well.

BTW, I'm not saying they should do all these buffs. I'm just saying these 2 weapons need some help.

A decent velocity and cooldown buff would do wonders for the AC10.

Indeed.

AC10s having sluggish velocity and a cooldown of 2.5 feels very awkward. Paying 4 extra tons to go from an AC5 to AC10 just doesn't pay off, and if weight is not an issue, going straight to an AC20 simply pays off better despite the range limit. Range just doesn't have the same payoff as in TT. Going straight down to 2.00 cooldown might be overdoing it though; would like to see them trying 2.20-2.25 first.

AC2s, besides needing lower heat, otherwise feels just right with a 20% ballistic quirk as tried on a CN9-D. I would throw in increased range (and even velocity to go along with it) just to give it back its niche as well.

It'd not bad, but its only worth bringing on mechs that are quirked for it imo.
