Not sure if you all got the memo. There was a big hubbub on Reddit a couple weeks ago, but I never saw any posts about it on the forum. User Peefsmash discovered that the increased Critical Hit Chance targeting computers are supposed to provide are actually decreasing crit chance.

The other stuff seems to work fine, but critical hit chance on UACs, Lasers, and PPCs are reduced with a Targeting computer equipped.

Fortunately the next patch should fix the problem, but in the meantime you need to decide whether the other benefits are worth the reduced crit chance.

Well its a good thing they don't work on LRM's

I thought this was just for the TC1, but after a few games with my 2 CERPPC SMN I noticed that mechs were absurdly hard to finish off with the PPCs, almost like I was having severe hitreg issues, except only for the kill shots, not general damage. I had a TC Mk II.

*Edit*
Yup, took off the TC2 and all of the sudden kill shots seemed to be behaving like normal.

PPC are bugged and some shots are passing through target doing no damage.

Who would have thought something is bugged. This really comes as a surprise.

Going to be interesting what my Nova will do next patch. Been running it with a TC1 and 6 medium pulse pulling out 500 damage matches. With the rescale and TC fix coming up soon that thing will truly be a monster.

It's almost like PGI can't release a patch without breaking anything

I wonder if that's a result of the TC projectile speed boost.
Or it could just be that PPC hitreg is borked. I know that if I fire more than one at a time my damage numbers feel lower than they should be.

All that extra QA time sure is working out!

Dear PGI: THIS JUST IN your math is terrible.

Applying .03 multipliers where 1.03 multipliers belong is atrocious.

It was occurring before the TC changes.

It makes me sad. I have a MG build for my shadow cat and an UAC20 build for it. I want my crits! D:
