The General Discussion is for general discussion, but the Patch Feedback section is where you go to discuss the current numbers of Weapons.xml

It's still the first patch, so go there

https://mwomercs.com...gy-public-test/

to discuss how you feel the specific numbers are in this first round of deployment and help get the game tuned more properly, but stick around here if you want to talk about them from a qualitative and umbrella-like environment.

LGauss needs lower cooldown and charge.

RACs (both) need a slightly increased DPS and a lower heat.

UAC/10 and UAC/20 need to be single shots.

Snub PPC needs longer Optimal range (maximum is fine).

MRMs need smaller spread.

Heavy lasers need a slight duration reduction (1.2/1.4/1.6 s/m/l respective).

The deadzone for ATMs needs to be either reduced to 90-120m or receive a negative damage falloff like LRMs.

Light Active probe having 0 slots... just seems odd.

cLAMs needs to be slightly more different from the IS version, besides the 4 h/s from the IS 5.

Yeah... no. Making them single shot would be too strong, IMO. 2 shells for UAC10, and 3 shells for UAC20, and give them better velocity and heat to account for lesser range and greater weight/slot.

RACs do absurd DPS they dont need more.

a single RAC5 does like 10 dps by itself which is stupid. that more DPS than some mechs do with ALL their weapons.

if anything RACs need lower DPS, lower heat, and slightly more fire time before jamming.

no they need to be burst fire.

no the spread is fine. they just need more damage per missile.

ATMs should have no deadzone at all. The whole point of ATMs is to be better at short range than LRMs.

They should remove the deadzone completely, slightly reduce the damage, and reduce the max range from 1100m to 810m. ATMs should be better at short range than LRMs but worse at long range.

If it took up 1 slot thered be no reason not to use a normal BAP instead.
