Are you talking about AMS or the AC/2?

The answer is the same in either case. PGI just chose to give us one but not the other. Because reasons.

That's an easy one actually, they wanted to keep the option of AC/2 cooldown quirks open without having to find a fix for the old ghost heat bug that would occur if the cooldown went below 0.5 seconds. That they haven't added the module now that AC/2s no longer have ghost heat, well that's just PGI being PGI I guess.

So it seems that triple AMS is indeed working? I still can't tell, but I'm putting it back on the 'ol Kit Fox anyways.

This thread needs more science, get me a phillips!

Update to AMS overload, can someone get new figures in here please? I'd do it, but all my mechs got burnt or soiled in the summoning.

Also people tend to forget back then Ac/2 was 0'5 sec CD and had way better Dps than Ac/5.

With the introduction to Ghost heat, PGI had to nerf the Ac/2 rof or just an elited mech was enough to trigger it with a single weapon.

I ran triple AMS on my nova, half the time I couldn't even tell it was firing even though there was a wall of missles going overhead.. I kept looking down at my ammo counter to see, dunno what was happening.

Did you accidentally toggle it off?
