I retrofitted my IS Marauders and now they play really good, smooth I can say
For now the most fun I had with MAD-3R (Smurfy link).
Skills went mainly into Survival, Mobility and Firepower at the end I got pretty quick, nasty and durable machine.
For sure IS tech benefited the most from CW update, Clans are what they was before with minor nerfs.
Pitty that we won't see Clan's Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle as it was introduced in 3069 (after the Civil War).
Funny that after CW there is not too much new weapons (practically useful) for both sides (HAG, Improved Lasers, X-Pulse Lasers).

HEY PGI...CLAN SMOKE JAG IS DEAD AT THIS POINT IN THE TIMELINE! CLAN WOLF IS NOW SPLIT IN TWO. CAN'T YOU READ THE LORE? WHERE ARE THE WOLVES IN EXILE? HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO EVEN TRY AND BE ACCURATE? IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE TIMELINE THEN ASK SOMEONE THAT DOES. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? WHY NOT JUST ADD KAIJU AND VOLTRON IF YOU JUST DON'T CARE?

Good gravy.

Sorry mate, but read the announcements and lore yourself.

PGI screwed up and set the time at 3057 which is the clan civil war, the refusal war and only the seperation time of Lyran Alliance and FedSuns. NOT the FedCom civil war of 306something.

So everything is fine with Smokeys being still there. But they forgot the Diamond Sharks and threw in Mechdesigns which should appear years later (MC II wink,wink).

The cooldown on Light PPC's sorely needs addressing.....Like half the cooldown time or at least 75% cooldown of a standard PPC.

Its a bit ridiculous that a weapon with half the output takes as long to cool down as it's bigger brother!

Yeah, sure. And then you mount two of them, and have doubled your dps for still less weight compared to the standard PPC.
Get real man.

I did not have the time to study all weapons. So excuse me.
So the correct way of thinking would be?

1. I don't have enough tonnage to equip a normal PPC -> take light PPC
2. I don't have enough tonnage to equip 2 PPCs -> take a heavy PPC

1. Or use a snub nose PPC.
2. Or maybe take a heavy and a light.

Basically you are trading range for duration.

[I cant want to]

notes are up for the 1sh hotfix, and the new ppc types are still not going to benefit from velocity quirks?

[Yumoshiri]

hilarious how the OP bloodadder will get it's structure properly downgraded.

[G SE7EN7]

Why are the IS uac10 and uac20 like the clans? expected them to fire like the uac5.
Jam chance is way too high regardless, jamming on the second fire....wtf.

Btw RACs should be renamed to RAC1.5 and RAC0.8

[Bolter01]

Does a light XL benifit from 'case' (+ammo)?

Welcome to the valley of the misery

The clan must live whit this, since enough IS'ler whining the Clan UAC are OP.

[Gasoline]

If you happen to find your Blood Adder invalid after the hotfix, fiddle with the armor on the LT. Took me a while to figure that out.
