Hello all,

I've been watching the comp stream and can't help noticing that some of the mechs are relatively lightly armed. For instance, there was a WHM-IIC Maul sporting a single UAC10 and a single ERPPC, which is less firepower than you normally see in QP or FP.

Is there a particular reason for this other than personal preference?

Thanks!

Are you sure it wasn't halved at some point? ... Because thats what I think is what happened there. When you click on a mech in spectator mode it only shows the weapons that are still on it.

It was dual UAC10 / Dual ERPPC.

The mech lost a torso. When that happens and weapons are gone, they no longer appear to spectators. Same for jams - as MWO counts the weapon as dead when its inoperable.

Ok got it, thanks!

mostly comp mechs carry even more weapons, since they don't need as much ammo, especially in 4v4 or less
