Ho does it work?
If i fire 6 medium lasers do I get heat for 7 MLs?
Or what?
Information that i managed to find is not really consistent...

I know there is a timer on 0.5 seconds.

You get 3.40 points of heat for each laser fired at the same time. So for 6 medium lasers fired at the same time you get 20.40 of heat. The seventh one gains an extra 2.72 points of heat over its usual 3.40 increase. That penalty goes up for each additional medium laser you fire at the same time.

If you like Math there is an explanation here: https://mwomercs.com...cale-the-maths/ I hates math. I hates it.

If you just want the figures, use the chart at Smurfy's https://mwo.smurfy-net.de/equipment

what amount of weapons do i need fire simultaneously to turn ghost heat on?
3? Or each weapon have its own limit?

[Haipyng]

Each weapon and sometimes weapon groups have their own limits before GH kicks in. The chart at Smurfy's shows it.

can't find where smurfy explicitly tells about ghost heat.
It just tells heat management in general..

1) Follow the link given to you, and scroll down to the "Heat Penalties per weapon" section.
2) Find the weapon(s) you care about. I'll use ML for an example.
3) Note that for each ML fired, the heat goes up by 3.4 as expected.
4) Note that this holds true for 1 ML (3.4 heat) through 6 ML (3.4 * 6 = 20.4 heat).
5) Note that at the 7th ML, the background on the chart is orange, indicating ghost heat.
6) Note that Instead of the expected 3.4 * 7 = 23.8 heat, you get 26.52 heat. This means you are getting 2.72 ghost heat. If you are on a PC, then you can hover your mouse over the value instead of doing the math. You'll get a tooltip with the statement "You gain 2.72 additional heat for [...]"
7) Note that for 8 ML you get 6.46 ghost heat (33.66 total heat). This indicates the ghost heat penalty is not linear.

Once you're on the site, this should all pretty much be common sense - Smurfy is very intuitive to use. Please consult the site that was linked to you and you'll have your questions answered.

Thanks! Got it!

BTW - does smurfy support skill tree?
I have only found this site - https://kitlaan.gitlab.io/mwoskill/

To my knowledge, Smurfy does not support the skill tree.
