I’ve compared the current live server to the pts server for mechs that have a high alpha high heat. Ive also useds some lights that would benefit with the changes. These mechs would be affected with the best and worst-case scenario of the two maps, Terra Therma (98C) and HPG Manifold(-69C).
The mechs that have been selectively tested are shown below. Additional notes are further below.
- MLX-G /ED Build: 4 c-heavy sml lasers, 8 c-machine guns.
Total fire power 66
heat generated 15 ( in theory)
DBL Heat sinks/ (eng) 3/(7)
heat mgmt: 1.25/2 (live), 1.3/2 (pts)
skill tree: Heat -5.4%, +10% heat dissipation (note, additional +13% heat dissipation quirk enhancements).
-Terra Therma, Live server, Worst:
standing still, one alpha generated 24 heat. 13 alphas till shut down.
While moving, one alpha generated 29 heat. Total alphas till shut 9.
While moving with jump jets, one alpha generated 34. Total alphas till shut down 5
-Terra Therma, Test server, Worst:
Standing still, one alpha generated 22 heat. 18 alphas till shut down
While Moving, one alpha generated 27 heat. 13 alphas till shut down
While Moving with jump jets, one alpha generated 31 heat. 7 alphas till shut down
-HPG Manifold, Live server, Best:
standing still, one alpha generated 18 heat. 23 alphas till shut down.
while Moving, one alpha generated 22 heat. 15 alphas till shut down.
While moving with jump jets, one alpha generated 27 heat. 8 alphas till shut down.
-HPG Manifold, Test sever, Best:
standing still, one alpha generated 17 heat. 43 alphas till shut down
while Moving, one alpha generated 21 heat. 22 alphas till shut down
while moving with jump jets, one alpha generated 25 heat. 10 alphas till shut down
Comment: increases the viability on these specific mech and many other light mechs that are under the heat cap.

Comment: little to no difference in heat dissipation but has slightly worsen.

Comment: Key is timing. Yes the main point is to get fix multi high damage alpha and in a way they have found it. But it doesn’t mean the play style is dead or specific mechs. Their just less viable. In hotter maps the First alpha may hits 79 or less. Let the total heat cools to 44 heat resulting to c-er meds cycle through cooldown allowing additional fire hitting a 77 heat. Cooldown again for heat to go at 65 and fire heavy large laser resulting 95 heat. Resulting with 142 alphas in less than 10 sec. thus resulting either more face time or corner/hill humping within that time frame.

My opinion
Ive tried out several other mechs in games other than the HBR-Prime along with similar builds with the GAR-E and the EXE-D. All the builds are still viable with the current patch but is slightly less viable but not consider dead in the pts. Want to have more armor than the HBR, Tonnage up with the GAR or the EXE both have armor quirks and can take a “beating”. Dakka builds seems to get a nice buff such as the MCII-B. With the laser vomit/ boat meds pulse EBJ-Prime hits higher heat but is able to disperse it within a short frame. What I mostly find appealing is the benefits of the .2 dissipation for lights that don’t hit the heat cape, resulting in more alphas. But hey it just a pts.
