Before this patch I either boated uacs or I didn't use uacs. If I wanted a lone ballistic on a mech it was either a gauss rifle or lbx.

lol thoses topics ...

Gotta get this out of the system, just like the US presidential elections.

The difference is that you won't have to wait 4 years for a change... (it'll just be 1 or 2...)

So... just ran the new patch, and my 6x CUAC5 Direwolf is now useless.

Heat is almost like laser (edited: Vomit Alpha), you cannot keep DPS, specially on hotter maps.

Great, now DW is officially dead and buried.

Don't double tap until it is the right time. Simple concept.

Please keep complaining everyone. Your tears are salty goodness

[OMCBOONE]

Hiya, how many posts are you going to make complaining about your precious daka and uac's? BTW people are still playing them and performing well in them.

Stop spreading rhetoric. Its not the end of the world nor MWO or the builds. Adjust and Adapt and suck it up man

Took twin UAC10 HMN out for a spin. 3 kills, 750 damage later, and only one double jam. Fire discipline OP, yo.

Still think a ghost jam mechanic might be a good one, though. Single UAC is too high risk.

What you fail to realize in this thread and the others about this topic is that this doubletap feature is THE defining reason for a UAC to exist.
But of course, everything is right in your book cause your precious IS UAC didnt really get touched while changes to the clan ones are severe when not boated. This change simply fixes nothing, just like the change to the KDK 3 fixes zip of the problems but gimps every other KDK variant.

PGI seem to strongly disagree on that statement.

Suppose they made it worth taking a single UAC. That would be great for UACs. What about on the other side of the fence? How would we make it worth taking a single AC/5, for example?

I feel like ACs and cACs ought to get bonus velocity and shorter base cool-downs, rather than bonking the UACs continuously.

My SMN-M(L) has solo killed a KDK-3 and a Night Gyr in the same match after the latest patch as such a feat is not possible previously so, my sincere gratitude and diehard appreciation goes to PGI.

Please keep up the awesome work of nerf and buff to the mech chassis/weapon systems as and when needed or necessary, PGI.

cAC need to be deleted. Clans did not use standard cAC. Standard IS AC already weigh less than IS UAC, and it would be fantastic if they got extra ammo per ton vs the UAC, for additive weight savings.

This.seems like a reasonable solution to this problem.

Doesn't mean one should be allowed to double tap brainlessly, especially for CUACs that are so light and compact. Post patch, one has to decide risk vs. rewards when double tapping CUACs, which suits me just fine. My dakka boats are still performing well, BTW.

[The6thMessenger]

Then don't boat Direwolf: Gauss-Dakka Whale

Seriously it's a 100-ton Omnimech that can have the most hardpoints of all mechs, and has at least 52-tons free, get creative!

[El Bandito]

And I found out that 6xCUAC2 is actually not a joke build when group fired.






Dakka aint dead.

[WarPickle]

LOL... Waaaaahhhhhh.. I might have to do something other than boating.....

My heart breaks for you

On a side note.. I better go check my boats and cry

Have you tried 8?

Maybe the 8x LB2X would work when macroed?

I imagine it to be very fun. Buying a Direwolf with real money on the other hand...

Oh well, maybe PGI would release the omni-pods as MC. He'res hoping.
