How about Nerfing the heat as well. Why the he ll is a 10 damage weapon putting out 15 heat?

It is not, we just reverted may patch AND reduced heat even more on underperforming ppcs.
Clan ppc says 10 damage but it is an interface bug, it does 2.5+10+2.5

Clan erppc was left as it has been since 2017 because it was among the most OP weapons around.
We buffed underperformers rather than buffing overperformers

Im playing now and looking at load out its 14.5 (-1.04)

[D A T A]

I will suggest pgi to fix the interface bug, clan ppc does 10 where you hit plus 2.5 right and 2.5 left.
Total 15 damage

The only PPC damage values I genuinely don't agree with here are light PPCs.

Before patch, the cooldown was certainly too long, but they were the most tonnage efficient damage dealers in the game and a set of 3 could make an entire class of light mech snipers possible.

Post patch they essentially act like an alternative to the medium pulse laser. Probably good at what they're doing now, I just wish they were doing something else, because when they had higher damage they did something no other weapon did.

So how much damage does a ER LL do when its rakes from left to right does it do the full 11 to all parts it hits?

No, imagine as you have 11 liters of water and you are peeing them...those 11 liters spread all over.
Erll will do 11 damage on one component only if you have god like steady aim and you manage to hold the laser on that specific component for the entire laser burn time, which is hard as hell on a moving mech.
That 11 pees instant by instant, its 11 in total after the burn is over

You mean like a medium pulse laser with a 600 meter optimal range?

If I can ask you, tell PGI to list the minimum range of various weapons in the game, please.

For example, all that a new player can see is that the minimum range of LRMs and ATMs is somewhere between 0 and 375 m.
I have seen many cadets firing those missiles from the point-blank range.

Heh not only that, i would like to show uac jam chance and jam duration in the mechlab.

Clan uacs are more likely to jam, and if jammed stay jammed for longer, but mechlab does not say it and pugs think clan uacs are better than IS ones, when they are not

Yes, you are quite right.

And another thing: The description of Light PPCs still says that they have 90m minimum range, even though this is no longer true. Could you ask PGI to edit that description, please?
