I like Hvy PPCs and I can not lie

please don't hate me

[Troa Barton]

I haven't liked PPCs since they added ghost heat to the game.
That was a long time ago..

[Quandoo]

Ghost heat simply kills it. Assaults are meant to carry heavy load of weapons but due to ghost heat they are limited to the performance of a heavy

I avoid ppcs either, they hit invisible walls alot. The projectile has a massive hitbox which hits the ground even if you clearly aim above it.

I love the HPPC sfx.. it's like 5 different .wav files all playing at once

[Mechrophilia]

Your admission of having a heavy PPC problem is the first step to your recovery.

[Armored Yokai]

Heavy PPCs are the perfect gauss rifle.

No Charge
4 crits

You are not alone brother

Easiest way to get 30 PPFLD, right? Sounds good. Some, uh, minor heat problems.

[N0ni]

Just wait for PPC capacitors. You'll be jumping through all PPCs faster than Lou Bega.

A little bit of Light peeps in my life.
A little bit of ER peeps by my side.
A little bit of Snub peeps is all i need.
A little bit of Heavy peeps is what i see.

[naterist]

dual heavy peeps and dual snubs for when they get in dat minimum range

[Trissila]

Why on earth would you ever use HPPCs when, for the same weight/space, you can equip two LLs or ERLLs?

ERLLs offer more range, no deadzone, more damage, faster cooldown, and hitscan firing for only a little more heat (1.5, or 10%).

LLs offer more damage, faster cooldown, no deadzone, less heat, and hitscan firing for only a little bit less range (450 optimal as opposed to 540, or 17% less range).

The only situation I can think of is when your 'mech is strapped for hardpoints and you absolutely do not have one extra energy hardpoint, only the one. And even then you'd probably be better off with just another chassis.

[Davegt27]

I know I take them off

but then I put the heavy PPCs back on again

please help me

For the reason of putting 15 damage exactly where you want it, on one single component. While laser damage varies depending on how good the person you're shooting at can spread damage around during the burn duration.

There's also exposure time, being able to duck behind cover more quickly if you're using Peepers compared to laser vomit.

[Trissila]

ISLLs/ERLLs have a 1.10 burn time though. The other guy has to register that he's being hit, then react to it, then actually have the twist do something meaningful for him. Given that the two lasers put out 18 damage to the HPPC's 15, you can even lose a little bit of the burn and STILL come out with the same damage on your intended target, while gaining all of the other benefits.

I mean, don't get me wrong, you can make it work -- I've made sillier crap work, certainly -- but it's making life harder for yourself for very little if any benefit.

My Marauder 5D only has the one right torso energy hardpoint!

Hvy Peeper (up high to avoid that terrain clipping PPC are noted for)
MRM 30 w/ 2 tons ammo
4 Medium lasers
2 jumpjets a Mk1 TC
305 LFE
endo steel and 16 DHS


Oh and 15 pinpoint damage instead of 18 points of squiggle cannon damage.

Keep in mind the weapon placement, mount the Heavy Peeps as the second weapon and they will sit on the inside of the arm beside the first energy hardpoint.
