Medium range missiles don't exist in the given timeline.

Well, prototypes are available.
Medium-Range Missiles (MRM 10, 20, 30, 40) IS/C XXED ~3052 (DC) 3058 (DC) 3063 229, TM —

Regarding prototypes:
"Prototype items are those which have only just gotten off the drawing board and made it into limited production on a restricted scale. At this level, the item may still be proprietary to their listed faction, or simply be so rarely employed that most forcescan reasonably expect to never encounter it in the field."

While a convincing case can be made against prototype weaponry in MWO, it objectively wrong to claim the MRM did not exist at all.
Btw., there is some very hot prototype stuff for both Clans and IS by 3052: Laser AMS (Clan), XXL Fusion (Clan), ATM (Clan) Stealth Armour (IS), Light and Heavy Gauss Rifle (IS), Silver Bullet Rifle (IS), ER ML (IS)...

But personally I want the Blazer, a weapon almost forgotten in 3052, but perfectly available for mass production:

Comes with nice Zeus and Marauder variants, too:

Gimme ARROW IV. My LRM boats need it. They want it.

And then we can have the CPLT-C3, and the Clan Naga.

Replaced Semi-Canon Clan E-PPC,
with Canon Clan I-PPC(Improved PPC),

It does not matter if we get a different PPC if the hit reg is still crap

The existing PPCs are already utter ****, why would you bring in more?

Options, id love for SN-PPCs or I-PPCs to be added,
if for nothing more than More PPC Options,

[DarthHias]

As someone else said, give IS Snub with a Ghost heat limit of 3, enhance Clan to 15 PPFLD.

All IS PPC types would need a ghost limit to 3 or whatever combo gives 30 damage. And...the IS ER has to have inherently more velocity since:

A.) It can't be augmented with a targeting computer and

B.) It's a ton heavier, a slot bigger, and IS need THREE of them to combat TWO Clan ones...in the context of larger DHS and more total heat generated (42 vs. 28)

Assuming we axe quirks, that is.

I'd love to have more PPC options.

And the PPC and ERPPC are excellent weapons if you can get the velocity up.

as it is i think we need more PPC Options,
Perhaps heavy MGs to fill Between MGs & AC2s,
and More Missile Weapons,

[GreenHell]

More weapons in the game that are only available to one faction? Each side feels more unique and adopts different playstyles? Something other than 500m laser-gauss / SRM-spam?!?!?!

PGI, if you're listening please hear my one humble prayer... Gift upon us new weapon systems, with which to make our mechs more unique and interesting.

My name is GreenHell, and I approve this message!

On a serious note, I do kinda wish that PGI would add WAY more weapons. We can always tweak balance, and I for one am not opposed to the idea that one weapon be mathematically 'better' than others. Rather, I like a game that feels 'interesting' rather than 'balanced'. I'm not saying make clans as OP as they were in TT, or over buff IS to the point of insanity. Just don't be afraid to add some flair to the damned game. Add some crazy stuff like the "Blue Shield"! Sure it's an unreliable, low usage count, heavy piece of equipment that only reduces damage from PPC's... But godamnit it's ******* cool!!! Add some COOL STUFF!
