That's not always the case.

I think the RAC 5s are near perfect, got 2 of them on my Atlas D DC one will jam around the time I go from base heat for the map to 90%, and expend 150 or so rounds between the 2 of them. The only change I would make is drop the jam bar filling while it is spinning up.

Then you could just keep your RACs prespooled all the time. it would defeat the purpose of having it spin up in the first place.

Thats one thing that definitely should NOT change.

Not being able to snapfire is one of the tradeoffs the RACs make for their high dps. It has to have some weakness or it would be outright better than UACs.

To be fair, that lower per-shot damage, even when done ridiculously fast makes it spreadable but is a weakness and it would never be better than UACs unless it has 5 PPFLD allowing it to poke, and that would be already OP.

Of course i agree, the RACs should have it's spin-up, because it gives incentive to hose lest one suffers the spin-up time again. Likewise it just loses the god damn flavor of the RAC -- we want a minigun, not just some other AC or MG.

I will settle for 0.25 - 0.5s of spinup time though, so to still affect the DPS and reactivity somehow, but wouldn't be as jarring as they are right now.

I'm not saying remove spin up, just that spin up shouldn't affect the jam bar till a round is discharged.
