Only 7 shots per ton when the cannon fires 3 shots per burst. Need to multiply ammo per ton by bullets per burst to bring it in line with the AC20.

[Andi Nagasia]

Yes this is the same for IS-UAC10s

Currently UAC10 Fire in 2Round Burst(needs 40Ammo PerTon(20x2)
Currently UAC20 Fire in 3Round Burst(needs 21Ammo PerTon(7x3)

i noticed the 20 never jammed when i used it. it was running rather mean and i was out of ammo before i knew it dispite running 5 tons of ammo. the 10 was a little bit hot.

[A Really Old Clan Dude]

The per ammo should be for a burst (3 shots) not for individual shots in the burst.

1 Ac 20 click is using 3 or 4 ammo.

I have 4.5 tons of ammo and ran out after 10 click.

PGI need to fix this as it has to be a bug

[Orkimedes]

I don't think this is intentional, the +ammo skill gives +1 volley per skill lvl per tonne, just like the regular AC/20. It really should not be expending almost a full tonne of base ammo in one double-tap

I think they had single slug UAC/10s and 20s on their in house test, and forgot to fix the ammo when they realized that that would be nuts.

[I_AM_ZUUL]

it needs to be a single slug just not to be a terribly inferior Clan version (who barely even use it already)

[Renjie Kayakuya]

I agree with the current setup of all new uac weapons but the ammo for them is ridiculous i have alleviated it with the fact that the ammo skills are good for them but im running 12 tones of ammo on a king crab and that would never last on a 12 v 12 in this state we need proper ammo quantity's.

Ya I noticed that too. I don't know why they are identical to the clan UAC/10 and 20. I'm with you on this one single slug for this weapon system would give IS mechs more pinpoint damage just like the PPCs do. This would solve ammo problem.

[Kaptain]

Agreed. This must be a mistake.

[Kurbeks]

Yep mistake. Just commenting to bring this to top.

Ammo for single shot, but uses burst

[Chados]

I agree, burst fire uAC ought to have ammo calculated similarly to their Clan counterparts. I'd say not identically, because IS bursts are smaller.

its the way they are done on the clan side. doing the same thing in two different ways is counter intuitive.

[Vonkessel]

I'm pretty sure this is juast a mistake and will be fix soon, otherwise the weapon is unplayable because you need 10-12 tons of ammo just for a single IS UAC20, and that makes no sense, the UAC10 is not so bad, 4 tons per, but still much more than the Clan needs.
