Curious,

has anyone considered that perhaps PGI should remove the Guass delay thing and fix the cooldowns on all AC's but add proper recoil (thus preventing the awesome 1-2 punch of guass and erll or ACwolfs)

this could be countered by going into a crouched stance...but you are basically a turret like in BT

I mean its accurate to lore and it would balance overly ballastic exploity builds nicely
I would also be all for mechs falling backwards when they fire the wrong amount of ballastic weapons while not crouched, with a higher likelihood if they were running and pilot skill was low thus going to fail rolls but eh....I like BT and how it was balanced..

The only overly "exploity" build i see that runs ballistics is the DWF and it is already a turret

@OP: This isn't needed and will only kill ballistics and Gauss, further reinforcing the laser vomit meta.

Nooooo Thanks!

Speaking of crouching what did that do for you in MechWarrior 4? Totally different game I know now for a great idea of mine. What if you could crouch in a mech to keep you in cover that an assualt Couldn't use as cover currently but just like in MechWarrior 4 the mech cannot move?
