Clan weapons are ALL notably smaller and lighter than their IS counterparts, that's one of the advantages clans have in MWO. Not to mention IS LBX10 is smaller and lighter than its bigger brother, the AC10.
So why is it that clans with their 'superior' technology, have LBX autocannons that weigh the same, and take up more of crit slots than their UAC counterparts.
I understand that the latest buffs to LBX spread were meant to make them more useful. (Mind you, I'd think most high-tier players will still agree that UACs are objectively better). So PGI, if you're buffing Clan LBX, I can only be lead to believe that you've given up on the ammo switching mechanics that were original intended for LBX. And that's fine.
If you've totally given up on ammo-switching:
I'm not asking for Clan LBXs to be equal to UACs, I'm asking that they be further pushed into a separate role, and made more viable for that role. I'd ask that the Clan LBXs be brought in line with IS, and made one ton lighter, one crit slot smaller, and less expensive than their UAC counterparts. (Don't get me started on cost, the fact that they're the most expensive weapon in the game is laughable)
I'm not asking for mountains to be moved, or for complicated mechanics to be implemented. I'm no game dev, but I think that literally all I'm asking for is three changes in some XML files and that's it.
Changes pls?
Sincerely,
-Someone who thinks LBXs deserve better (but not better than UACs lets be real), and should be worthy of the awesome sounds they make.
