Cipher is basically just the optimized, meta version of Piranha. I honestly would have liked to see something different as a hero, like a small missile boat.

So whaddaya think?

I'd drive it.

[Battlemaster56]

Would ride this mech to the ground.

Nope. Can't carry enough ammo on super-light Mechs.

The LCT-3S can carry enough ammo, so can this.

If by 'enough' you mean 'half the damage potential of an energy loadout at the same tonnage'.

1032 potential damage, it's enough.

[N0ni]

It's different, i'll give it that. Worth a try.

So you get 100% of your SRMs and MRMs to hit their target?

Very impressive! PGI are going to have to create a new PSR Tier to accommodate that level of skill

It's perfectly normal to assess ammo counts by how much potential damage you carry. Keyword: potential.

1032 damage is amazing, but realistically once you're doing 500 -- or about 50% of your ammo stores, without the help of backup lasers, that's already a good contribution to the match.

Do average 1k damage in your Lights using your weapons alone?

I think not.

[MrMadguy]

Don't we have enough OP Piranhas?

So, in that case, the potential damage from my laser Light is infinity!!! Which is clearly superior.

No. But I don't run out of ammo, either. Which was actually the point.

But a missile Piranha wouldn't be an OP Piranha

Then you are still missing the point: you will not run out of ammo before the match ends for you; either through your death or the enemy's.

The 560 rounds you can get on that PIR is enough.

Being Tier 1 on Oceanic, I usually find myself having to kill the entire enemy team.

So 560 rounds wouldn't be nearly enough.

Kinda why Energy Urbies are meta over ballistic ones.

Then we'll just ask PGI not to give you access to the Missile Piranha, or anyone using it on Oceanic. Kinda sensible don't you think?
