Not a fan. Can see the situational fun when those optimum conditions for effective use happen, but for garden variety play......... Nope, I'll stick to AC/uAC's for my ballistic fun, thanks.

Yup.
He's been frustrating me ever since mathventure time with RACs. Like his experience is the definitive RAC performance, as if he couldn't just have been unlucky. He expects me to just take his word for it.
You can't reason with unreasonables.

It's clearly your point of a view, don't say for every one, say for your self. Please.
"Sarna says..." ...you always concider truth by everything whats written on the wall? Did ya?
Bring here a FASA Corp. TRO Books than. You'll see the difference. Yes, FASA is no more, Sarna and Harmony Gold bought rights, but does it concidered that they tell truth? Ain't sh!t.
As I say'd: - Yes RAC20 is Lore, but which TRO they belongs, I don't remember, or 3081 extention or TRO3085, or even later. That what I told, and nothing more or less. And since we got BT Wiki where 1000 time a year they editing and proofreading, I litteraly can't concider Sarna Wiki as a proof any more.
Now you have my answer on all your questions.
Btw... Mechwarrior 3 and 4 also ain't Lore concidering Sarna and Harmony Gold point of view. But I trust MW3 and 4 more than Sarna cause I play BattleTech since 1988. See the diff now?
There is SOOOOO much wrong here. Sarna, Is a Website/Wiki. They have no rights to the BT IP, Wizkids/topps/hasbro own the IP. HG owns the rights to (macross based)images used in the original tRO 3025 nothing more. Wizkids contracted the rights to make classic Battletech to Fanpro, then CGL. The only people that can declare anything Cannon in the BT universre right now is CGL. Not Sarna or HG.
There is no TRO 3081 or RAC 10/20 those were at best Fan created items. Nothing more. NOt Cannon and not in the BT universe or IP.

TRO3067 exists as an official publication, but TRO3069 and TRO3081 do not exist.
Further, TRO3067 has no mention of RAC10 or RAC20, only RAC2 and RAC5.

Those who played BT TT since FASA times are concidered an ComStar Members comparing to all of you guys. This is axiome.
* In 2004 Vampire 100 tons heavy assault mech was turned into an Experemental Tech than in 2006 striken from the mech list totaly due being a most versatile platform of all times. Lucky Annie and Mackie not been striken out yet.
As someone that played BT since FASA times too, I can confidently say that the 'Vampire 100 tons heavy assault mech' never existed in any official publication.
Further, 2004 is post-FASA era; FASA ceased doing business in 2001. 2002 to 2007 was the FanPro era, and TRO3067 published during this time was a FanPro publication.

Sarna never bought any rights to Battletech; they are just a fan wiki. HG never bought rights to anything from Battletech either, although they claim rights to the Unseen.
RAC20 isn't lore, it was a fan invention from Mechforce UK.

RAC10 and RAC20 wasn't in TRO3067... whenever it was later added and mostly concidered as Lore despite it was creation of FASA, FanPro or else.
Also I didn't said that RAC20 was in TRO3067.
About VME... probably was taken-off the lists during FanPro era.

RAC10 and RAC20 has never appeared in any official rule book, nor on any official designs in any official TRO or sourcebook.
And even if they were added after TRO3067, it would be in the FanPro or Catalyst era, not FASA.
VME was never on any lists before or during FanPro era. The mech simply didn't exist in an official source. If you have proof saying otherwise, please provide it.

- RACs are horrible - the face time, the damage spread, the heat!
- RACs are glorious - the dakkadakkadakka just brings a smile to the face, and enemies tend to back away!

The one thing that RACs are good at is suppression. Especially in faction play.
They terrify enemy pilots and blind them so they do what 99% of the pilots do
and back off. Hopefully into the guns of your team.

1.) Buy an Inner Sphere mech
2.) Buy a couple of RACs
3.) Run it in Quick Play
4.) Go back to running Ultras, ACs or LBs
Or...save yourself the c-bills. I tried them extensively, I don't run them on any of my mechs.

Or you can get an Urbanmech, put RAC5 and Lasers. Then have fun.
UM-R63 RAC5 Dakka - RAC5 [450] + 2x ERML
Yeah, it's not impressive. But for some reason, Urbies can pull it off. And that reason is because, Urbies are ******* OP.

Which brings me to the second Meh weapon - light gauss. They just weigh too much for the damage they do. All the other gauss rifles do at least one point damage per ton. LG is .667 damage per ton.They either need to drop the weight to 8 tons or increase the damage to 10-12. Just no compelling reason to take them.

Ultimately people dont understand that RAC are OP not because they do OP damage but because they hinder the other's guy ability to do damage.

Lets put this in perspective. ERLs do more damage and don't explode. Have the same range. Are instant hit and you can load 2 of them and 2 heat sinks for the weight of a light gauss and that's before loading gauss ammo. Did I miss anything?
