Hi all,

Simple premise - I have a DWF with 6 LPLs. I can only fire 2 at once before triggering ghost heat. I create two groups of 3 on chain fire for each mouse button. I hold down both buttons simultaneously. Will I get ghost heat?

My thinking is because each mouse click is not perfectly aligned, the third laser to fire will be 1-2 hundredths of a second within the timing of the previous salvo = ghost heat. Or is GH registered per laser and so the 0.5 second gap will work?

Cheers all!

In short the answer is yes, you will get ghost heat.

Thanks aaykeem, - though I don't see how to use that tool for chain fire?

EDIT: apologies just read the whole thread! I will give it a go this eve maybe to see if it can circumvent GH but as above I doubt it...

Such a pain we can't fiddle with chain times, chain multiple weapons etc...

Make a macro for mouseclicks

Wait, What? Last I checked, Chain Fire fired every .5 seconds, just enough to avoid ghost heat.

Lemme go run some tests.

Edit: Verified, Designed to prevent Ghost Heat.

You should be fine firing 2 LPL waiting the .5sec and fire the next 2LPL. As long as you have that .5sec gap you won't generate ghost heat. Use to be a problem that plagued the AC2 it fired faster than the ghost heat cool down so after a few shots not only were you generating the normal heat you started getting ghost heat.
Now if fo some reason you fire 2LPL then fire 2 more and the game registers you fired before the .5sec count you will get ghost heat and a lot of it at that point.

But Firing 6 LPL even with 0.5 Gap in between will result in quick overheating, or?

Yea 6 clan LPL's fired quickly will put out a LOT of heat.
