I am trying to get a Heavy PPC in the top hard points on my Banshee
Unless I fill every slot with a PPC it will always sit on the lower slot....
What dark Wizardry is needed?
I have tried holding my tongue at different angles while the wind is blowing ... or not blowing, what part of the secret ritual am I getting wrong?

Not sure about the banshee, but on the Grasshopper most people use er small or mediums first, then ppc, save.

Actually on one of my grasshoppers, I put er small, then ppc, then another er small and save for high slot.

You need to try different combinations of loading lasers and ppc to get ppc's to high mounts.

Thanks, thats what I would normally do, it works with a LPL but not the PPC

Same issue with Gauss on the Sleipnir. They always settle in the lower hardpoints. It's hardwired.

Same with the Pretty Baby left arm missile. You can never bump up the MRM30/40 to the higher mount for some dumb reason.

It’s to keep the mechs from being “OP” I guess. Always configure with mechlab while viewing it in the store. Don’t like what you see? Don’t buy the mech. Simple.

The PB's trickle missile launcher kills what's left of a decidedly unwell 'Mech. I had no idea that some weapon types simply won't mount properly, that sucks. With my Grasshopper I mount my medium lasers on first and then the H-PPC sits above it.

Doesnt work b'cause PGI switches stuff up on a whim even years after you get the mech. They just dont like fun.

Consumables already do that.

2 LPPCs first will put the HPPC up on top. You can get Light Gauss up there too with MGs.

There already is a magic spell in the game. Almost every match somebody casts Potato Tornado. Area of effect: the entire battlefield. Duration: the entire match. Every player must make a Will Save at -4 or spend the remainder of the match circling a large geographic feature in a counter clockwise direction.
