As far as I know it never affected damage dropoff, 1500 was just a global cutoff range.

Only for IS weapons that managed to reach above 1500. There were several times when clan whales were returning fire past that mark and I was taking some damage.

Spoiler

It does work and usually the only places over 1500M shots occur are on Boreal during CW matches.

I think the game needs to go with 1x ranges on all weapons. Then we might ssee AC10s being used, as AC20s can no longer fire out to AC10 range.

Medium lasers might not be the go to all rounder weapon if it only reaches 270 and 405m instead of near 600 and near 800m.

PPCs might be decent in that they get great range and good punch for fairly high heat. Still think they should be buffed in velocity to like 1250+quirks(1300-1400 quirked velocity).

AC2s and 5s might have a place as long range pester weapons.

Wub might not be the only build a mech can take, since wub is much shorter range then normal lasers.

CERLL 1.5 duration might be worth taking for 740m range vs CLPL 600m.....

It would put each weapon back in it's rightful spot.

somebodies forgetting ballistics have a 3x max range (which is fine when you have to lead that far away)

I actually find it rather disappointing we didn't know it was a bug issue beyond our own anecdotes, as i rather prided myself on being able to score hits on alpine that far out to suppress hill spotters
