I agree. I would like to see LBX focus more on critical hits.

Unfortunately that would require a complete overhaul of the crit system which I cant see PGI doing.

Crits doing structure damage was a PGI later-day invention. All it'd take would be adjusting how much equipment damage a given damage source inflicts on a critical hit and reverting the "bonus" structure damage to zero, then altering the number that inflicts X amount of equipment damage. Weapons that inflict massive PPFLD should deal reduced equipment damage (because face it, being able to obliterate structure easily is it's own "crit bonus"). Some weapons are just fine 1:1 (like LRM's and lasers). SRMs might get a bit of a boost, but LB-X currently would be the critmaking champions. Multi-shell beasts like the RAC and Clan UAC's would need some work.

If even a few pellets could ruin equipment, this would mean even small LB-X would have a role in MWO.

Seems not many people here play clams. May be isLBX10 is not very great weapon, but for clams LBX are really good option if you want to brawl, uac jam and spread and is less heat efficient, ac have bigger spread close range or much longer facetime.

IS LB10X is good, but it's more for fitting and efficiency reasons than anything, since you can fit two per side torso.

AC10 and LB10X carry 200dmg/ton of ammo, 4dps, and LB10X can fit two per side torso. If you've got two ballistic torso slots and excess tonnage, twin LB10X has many advantages over AC20.

LBXs are a ballistic weapon and PGI seems to have a thing against ballistics, this is why a 12 Heavy Small Laser Nova will be a thing and not a 2 RAC/5 Atlas, because ballistics are evil evidently.

After last patch we know pgi hates evergy weapons.
They hate all weapons. Every patch is a weapon nerf in some way.(consudering armor buff is weapon nerf also)
