Any way we might get a heat gen quirk for ppcs/erppc? The 50% velocity is great but man 2xerppc are HOT.
It's hard to do but I would be totally willing to give up all that fancy MG rof for it

Use normal PPCs instead? I mean, the mech is fast enough to stay outside its minimum range.

It's what i do with my Vindicators and it seems to work fine.

Yeah, I found backing down to just one PPC + range mod, 3xMPL was much better on heat but still gives me decent long range with short back up.

EDIT: Man I LOVE the 1B though. I finally have a ppc mech I can work with and 'feels' right.

I've been running this...

It's a little bit hot, but very managable IMO. It should be better once I unlock 2x efficency.

I could see trying a nice PPC / 3MPLaser build though.

BTW. I had no idea this mech had PPC velocity quirks. That explains why I was having a hard time hitting enemies in my PXH-1 with a PPC after using the 1B lol.

In all fairness, a PPC heat gen quirk isn't all that outrageous, especially since the mG RoF quirk is almost useless with two ballistic ports.

The 1B is fun though. Been running three large lasers on mine at the moment. The movement is really nice.

I'm using 3LL + 2MG on mine. PPCs are too hot, short range weapons don't do enough damage.

3 erLL for me. With seismic kind of meh at the moment using advanced sensor range and beagle to get locks from days away in the safety of my range and ECM for the LRM boats on all these long ranged maps.

Use 1 ERPPC? Just because there's a PPC quirk doesn't mean "BOAT-TIME!!!!!!!!"

May give that loadout a try. It's a couple KPH faster and has several more JJ than I have with the 3MPL... see which one runs better for me. And yeah, just waiting for the 2x efficiency, I'm riding right on that heat line and need that little lift.

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet. But the PXH-1B is letting me unlock the master skill even though it is the only variant I have elite so far... bug or 1B OP?

Agree. Not sure I would want a PPC in the arm anyway. The torso mount is nice for peeking and it being head level but seems like you would have to stand full out in the open to even shoot the 2nd at which point... LASER BEAMS!!!
