Has anyone else noticed that the IS dropships only fire med lasers while the clans put out large as well? I run exclusively in scouting and have noticed this for over a week now. Not sure if it is just a visual bug or if we are really getting screwed.

Also since the last patch, I am seeing more and more clan mechs taking 4-500 dmg and still walking away.

I've only seen lasers change depending on Game Mode. I've seen large pulse for Domination and Assault, larges for Skirmish, and a mix of large and mediums for Conquest. I'd be interested to see if there is an actual determining factor for what lasers come out of a drop ship and when.

Jesus you complain ON and OFF the battlefield I see. You are only getting screwed by your own skill level.

I can only assume you don't mean Clan Mechs are surviving 400-500 dmg in scouting? As max armor/structure would be like 507 (a couple points more for the Nova) for a Clan 50 tonner. It's possible, but rare to survive 400...however, the only scout mech period that can consistently do it would be the IS hunch 4sp (do to double structure and a standard engine). Even the biggest Clan scout mechs can't really absorb more than 400 (99% of the time) as mathematically you need a leg, a side torso and the CT to live). It's not impossible (I have done it), but with all the mech sections you need to keep, it is hard to go below 20% and live on those chassis. Also, if you somehow manage to put 400 into them and they are still alive, it says more about aim than design.

500 points of damage, i wanna see a clan mech sub 55 ton doing that. Pretty sure sub 50 tons clan mechs don't even have 500 points of health alltogether.

I have been hit by both med and large lasers from IS dropships. So while I am not sure where you are getting your information, it is nonetheless inaccurate.
