Having again equipped my Mech with some ER Meds bcs i am to slow to make distance negligible i am becoming painfully aware that either ER Mediums of the IS Side are TO HOT or do NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE given that you also have a longer cooldown and DPS is way down for that.

Give ER Mediums 1 more damage or less Heat pls!

Too hot or not enough damage compared to what? They have the same damage per heat as a clan er medium but with less cool down and much less duration.

[Thorqemada]

And Clan ER Meds do more damage like 140% per beam?
This puts them IS ER Meds into the window were neither they can good Alpha and cool down nor can they do good DPS for being to hot and STILL have a shorter range!

ER Medium up to 6 damage or down to 3.9 heat.

ERML is in a pretty great place considering the range on them, the fact they're only 1t and the fact that IS has superior duration and heat skill nodes compared to clans. If you don't like the heat, normal mediums are considerably cooler and only gives up the range.

Range is a very big deal in MWO and the price for it should be similarly a big thing as well. I recommend mixing ERML with LL if you have the tonnage to spare since they are more heat efficient but pay for it in tonnage.

Well, i dont see what else i have to say as your arguments are totally supprtive to my view that ER Meds (IS) have no role in their current Iteration and something like i mentioned or whatever else should be done.

" ER Mediums of the IS Side are TO HOT or do NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE given that you also have a longer cooldown and DPS is way down for that."

I'm confused, because that's a perfect description of Clan ERMLas.
