Clearly we're talking about how the damage is delivered here, not the role. You could either IDF both when pseudo PPFLD or completely spread, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Well, I get that. But as we have been pointing out the entire thread is that, it's against the point of the system to make them basically PPFLD. Now if it were just like SRMs that centers to a component, perhaps.

Merely increasing their novelty will not cut it, though.
Well, here's the thing, I agree that they have to be competitive versus aimed weapons, else there won't be a point.
But it's not like PPFLD is just the entire way to do it. You could also increase the damage per volley, while decreasing cooldown, which increases upfront damage when you are landing it, while making it less annoying by less missiles in the air. This way you increase the damage at the location you want, but keep it inefficient.
The point of shooting a lot of missiles is that you have plenty of chances to hit, just with machine-guns, else just pick a damn rifle, or in this case a Thunderbolt (not the mech, the missile).
