Balancing and rebalancing creates a lot of steam, every time. Thats why, BV transplent system from TT seems elegant
solution, you can change BV values of chassies,weapons, equipment depending on its performance without
directly changing game mechanic, and since we cant forgo 12v12, difference in BV will be in tonnage, it might need
be to let go 3/3/3/3, but you keep distincive IS/Clan flavor.
One really unexplored area of balancing act is lore. Since in lore Clan did bid to lowest drop weight to avoid waste,
that could translate in CW as lowest BV/tonnage drop gets first match, upfronting Zellbringen would also promote
equal number drops...etc... Point is Clan has better tech, but are far less in numbers and resources, so
IS should get far more tonnage and far cheaper prices, maybe even upkeep mechanic.

people seem to have a problem understanding what ranges get nerfed. Of course no one knows until the PTS goes live.

I think it will be like this, ER-ML optimal range 405m, max range 810. So the max range part is an extra 405m.

And from those 405 extra you take 40% off. So you get only 243m extra or 648m maximum range. That is not that bad.

Could be completely different, though and we have to wait.

IF and I say IF this is the case, then I could live with this, but knowing PGI, this is not the case...

I'm ok with all the other proposed changes except for the double heat sink nerf. .2 reduction heat cap for .01 increase in dissipation? If you are going to do that, make the dissipation increase meaningful. I still think DHS should be 2.0 for both sides period. Adjust the heat scale/dissipation accordingly. They should be roughly the same for both sides...
