I do not use any macros but I have a Dragon equipped with a RAC5 and a RAC2. Recently whenever I've used the Dragon, I've noticed that red team makes me a priority target. Think I'll shelve the Dragon for a while.

Every time someone is on the enemy team with more than one RAC, the call goes out 'racro' and to prioritise that guy. Regardless of whether they are cheating or not.

Concerns me slightly there issue hasn't been fixed.

I have played 30-40 matches or more since Friday and not seeing a RAC issue. There are not more or less RAC users in each match and when I do encounter them, they are no more or less deadly than they always have been with most being more annoying than deadly, again just like they have always been.

my theory is the fact that you cant chain fire Rac's is at the core of the problem

so that means if you have racs and set them for chain fire they will not fire at all

so that tells me to allow Macros to work they have to turn that feature off (for lack of a better
term)

so it would be hard for them to fix the problem without really digging into the code
JMHO

I am not on one side or the other as far as racs go
I would much rather see them use there time to fix the training grounds

Question really is whether PGI will ban anyone for exploiting or not. It's against CoC after all. If not, then make sure to exploit everything you can in the future.

when a shadow hawk can face tank an core 3 assaults at ounces with RAC2's you know there something wrong an exploiting going on.

iv been reporting an recording anyone iv seen that looks like there using the exploit

So how often has that happened to you? I had one suspicious match out of 40. So I am just curious how many you have seen.

I agree, the RAC has no heat limit, deals a lot of damage, has almost no reload compared to other weapons, and is HORRIBLE shaking and just throwing off the entire scope.

Promotion does not cost anything, because unlike Gauss, you can just hold the trigger in a shelter and there is nothing to lose in time.

Redneck clowns will always protect their antifan LRM ROTARY dumps. There's no point in arguing.

I remember there was an event with 1x1 duels, where in every match I came across a degrod*nt on a 100 ton RAC boat, just watering me from the other end of the map without cooldown.

People just didn't use the other. The same trend is noticeable in regular games.

The first match on laser mechs in the maze-cave map was great, the rest is a clearing with a pissing rotary 100 ton bag of sh*t, I never completed that event.

Dude, this thread was 3 years old. It was about an actual bug that was actually being exploited back then.

Its been fixed since, and rac are just basic mediocre weapons nowadays. They require you to stare at the enemy for a long time, exposing yourself, to do damage, which is a HUGE downside.

Yeah what he said. If you stand out in the open and don't twist like a ninny then a RAC can tear you up, but they're not very good in general

This thread deals with the problem that happened more than three years ago and it has been fixed since then.

If you wish to discuss the current use of Rotary Autocannons in the current MechWarrior Online, feel free to start a new thread.
