I don't know who the idiot was that recommended that recoil mechanic on a weapon that already has a CHARGE Mechanic involved but I am definitely NOT going to 100% agree to this change period.

This change was totally unnecessary and makes it extremely convoluted unless the clan gauss rifle had a NO CHARGE to FIRE Mechanic which would've been an ok trade off. You already had hurt the weapon more than enough with a re tarded charge mechanic, a 100% weapon explosion chance along with a ghost heat that links with PPC/Gauss Combo which downgraded a lot of builds in general.

The only way I would agree to this recoil mechanic is that the Clan Gauss would be given a NO CHARGE to FIRE mechanic instead. Clan gauss has to carry something unique about it and a NO Charge to FIRE mechanic makes a lot of sense if you wanted clans to carry recoil on their gauss rifle. I.S Gauss has maintained its Zero Recoil from this PTS and that's not right. Until then, HELL NO is my answer.

Heres a Pro tip for you PGI. Learn to play MORE with the public and start playing Faction Play as well. There have been changes done on other things that didn't sit well with others who've been playing here since the early days and our patients is wearing really thin.

The problem with the Gauss change is that anyone who is already "meta" enough to read about how to do Gauss Vomit can figure out pushing down both triggers at the same time, then letting off the Gauss one once the reticle flashes green. Heavy Gauss should have proven that. Hell, most people that play this build already DO THIS with Clan Gauss because using the slugs as beamriders lets you verify your aim.

So the change only irritates people who aren't going to effectively use a 70+ alpha strike anyway.

I’m for the trade, recoil instead of charge.

Also, recoil for a bit less heat on ACs if we are at it.

I'll take almost anything to get rid of charge up... That's the mechanic that makes me not use any gauss except dual HGauss, and only on the Fafnir. (and that's primarily because it's designed specifically for it)
