So I noticed that the tooltip shows 5 heat for these, but when I fire I'm getting about 10 instead. Is this something I should send to support, or am I missing something here? Just posting this here because I don't want to send anything in just yet; I was already on mercs and not logged in to any e-mail.

How did you figure "10"?

[Funky Bacon]

the heat bar in game shows the % of heat. not the actual numerical heat levels. A mech without extra heatsink gets max 50 heat before shutdown.

Edit:
To explain a bit further. if we did have 100 max heat, then 5 heat would display as 5% on the heat bar. But since a mech has 50 max heat it means 5 heat becomes 10% on the heat bar.

lppcs run cool as a cucumber for me.

Lppc can be trolling fun. Throw a few on a med or heavy with a lot of e hard points and chain fire.

Sorry, I ran a test on Caustic, and got 10 on the heat scale per weapon fired.

Ah, ok, that make sense. Thanks!
