Ammo switching coding is impossible for PGI. You should know by now.

Yea i do , but well i'd settle for a hardcoded specialty ammo AC.

Any projectile weapon with a high rof is going to put stress on the netcode. MWO already strains under a stupendous number of server calls compared to other shooters, which is the reason lots of tech like IK is limited.

I do want to see the HAG though. Yum.

IS players didnt complain when the Clans were dropped with more weapons according to timeline. So Clan players should man up and accept timeline cutoff as is. HAG is Jihad era tech.

oh but they did complain a lot there an mountain of salt from all there complaining

I agree to both these statements.

A would be a perfect way to compensate for IS RACS but would still be SUPER OP cause of heat generation or lack there of. Which is probably why they are not in the game and probably never will be unless PGI decides to move to a type of energy draw system over heat.

Actually why not just give Clans there own RACs. The tech came out in 3069 for the Clans.

Seriously we are talking 2 years advancement of the time line to get both HAGs and Clan Rotary ACs into the game. I am sorry but advancing the time line 2 years to insure that the Clans got more than just a token amount of new tech wouldn't have broken the game.

As to why they didn't. 1) Laziness and 2) To shut up all the IS purist whining about how under powered they are. Seriously after the new tech drops, there shouldn't be even a drizzle of complains about the IS being under powered. After testing for 20+ hours, I can safely say that overall, the IS is getting a truly massive buff global buff with the new tech while the Clans got virtually nothing that will make a dent in their overall performance.

The complaints were mostly aimed at brokenly OP Clan tech upon release that immediately invalidated all T1 IS mechs--since there were no general quirks at the time.

1. Clan RAC was still in experimental phase in 3069--it went into mas production much much later. PGI dont do experimental tech.

2. PGI didnt give IS ER meds and ER smalls despite the fact it was only 2 years away from the previous 3053 cutoff date. Fair is fair.

3. Only clear buff the IS got in new tech update is the LFE, and it is STILL clearly inferior than CXL. All other tech are either sidegrades, or cheese that will be nerfed-- like the RLs.

As is IS mechs will soon face another round of quirk nerfs due to the arrival of LFE. So hold your horses.

I'm also not sure why there's whining for a weapon that would be garbage. A stream of 20 to 40 single damage shells would be more ineffective than a RAC/2.

You want tech just to say you have tech, effectiveness be damned?

p.s. - HAGs are not heat free people, do your research.

p.p.s. - X-Puilse would be the worst lasers in the game.

Eh. Could do with or without HAGs.

I'm waiting for that Clan RACs, Bane, and Piranah though.
