Eek, that would make gauss a lot harder to use. There's a reason people don't use macros to auto-fire the gauss. And removing the charge altogether would bring us back to square one: gauss being overpowered. Plus, I like the charge mechanic. Feels ... satisfying... when you land shots with it.

There are few things better in MWO than popping a 100% cresting Kodiak in the face


~500M on Canyon has happened twice in that specific scenario at ~C4...and it's great.

Although, I do think the double kill beats that.
I hope they never fix projectiles flying through dead mechs. They block lasers, but not projectiles from my experience.

Lack of on/off toggle feature for TAG/machine guns/flamers.

:/

One thing we will unfortunately probably never see is proper info warfare such as active vs passive radar.

Also, acceleration due to gravity in this game is 32.2 m/s^2 whereas it should be 9.81 m/s^2. Changing this value would be the first step to fixing jump jets in this game.

SSRM's being able to target shutdown/overheated mechs?

:/

Ghost hard points - weapons that will not go in the higher ones of the same type. It happens because weapons that come with mechs remember their order, so you have to sell the weapons and buy "clean" ones. It results in weird things like your LRM20 taking the smaller launcher and your medium laser taking the sniper hard point.

Hill climb module. Does functionally nothing by design.

I sincerely thought enlarged Raven hit boxes would have belonged here, but I think they fixed that.

Flamers sucking.

[Random Carnage]

The Locust is a small thing that most definitely got fixed.

You should be using BAP when running Streaks anyways...

I might be wrong, but doesn't BAP and CAP give you this ability?

If they're shutdown, I think you need to be within 50 m of them to lock on with BAP/CAP.

The range is so short you need to literally be humping their leg.

TAG is probably better for a scenario where they're shutdown.

Its been a long time since I've been in that situation though, it might have been fixed.

It is 120M and 150M

Clam being the further range

That's longer than I remember it.

It is still broken though? If they shutdown you have to re-acquire lock.

By the time you have lock, they're powering up.

[Summon3r]

somebody must have mentioned it but...

what about the god awful arm ends specifically on clan mechs that have little laser boxes around them or weapon mounts around the out side perimeter with a blank box or hexagonal stump. for example EXE and GAR

great thread OP

reinforces the whole minimally viable product thing though

Remove gauss charge up or have it auto fire after charge.

Auto fire after the charge would be a pretty big nerf to gauss. When peeking with gauss I try to always have my charge up by time you crest in order to get a shot off immediately. If you want to improve the gauss short of removing the charge you should lengthen the time the charge holds.

Right now I am convinced that PGI will never touch the MGs again.

Opening the skills tab should take you to the skill tree of your currently-selected Mech.
