I am calling it Laser AMS aka magic umbrella

what would you says is the best new weapon and why

[FupDup]

I think the Heavy MG is the winner.

[Y E O N N E]

Light PPC

It empowers dakka tremendously. Having two is like having a 6-ton UAC/5 that never jams and only needs to mind the heat, which is fine because you get 3 more tons for heatsinks. Add with actual UACs and go to town.

HMG are pretty decent, but dat ammo consumption. LMG, too, seems to blow through its allotment overly fast but it doesn't enjoy the damage gains.

I wont install a weapon with minimum range

I put regular PPCs on my cat one time like 4 of them, the other team just rushed me and kicked the crap
out of me

You have UACs...you aren't defenseless. Don't make bad builds, man...

[MechaBattler]

Snub PPCs.

[DivineTomatoes]

Ultra AC/2.

Put 3 on a Shadowhawk - 2H.

Enjoy.

So far the Light PPC and Heavy MG.

[Kaptain]

Twin ultra20s not having ghost heat is ridiculously overpowered and that is even factoring in the ammo bug.

So far I like
Ultra 20 (needs ammo fixed)
ER smalls
ER meds
Ultra 10s
and Twin LBX20s
I like most of the new PPCs but they need improvement

The Meh and ugh list
MRMs are too slow and spread too much
Rockets are just trolling
HMGs are OP AF against structure and components
Stealth armor is pretty meh
IS Streaks are pretty meh for the size and weight
The LBXs are all garbage aside from with 20s.
The ultra 2 is too frigging hot (same with reg ac2)
Racs have bugs and overall I hate them
The Heavy PPC not doing all its damage FLPP for 10 tons and 4 slots is just dumb
Laser AMS is friggin HOT
LGR is crap. It offers nothing atm.

Heavy MG (both IS and Clan) and the IS ERML.

IS UAC10/20 will be good once their ammo / ton is adjusted for the burst fire. That's assuming the 20 is getting Ghost Heat, Double tapping two is going to be absolutely insane once they actually get some more ammo...

I'm definitely keeping an eye on Assault Lasers.

These things are disgustingly awesome. Going to be absolute beast when they go live!

Assault Lasers only existed as a non-canon weapon in MekTek's MekPak updates for MW4.

You mean Heavy Lasers?

[Ruar]

HMG

It shreds both armor and internals once you get in range. Anything that can mount enough of them is capable of getting into range.
