In all seriousness though, that type of stuff leads to less fun and more frustration. It's cool for a simulator/MW5 type game, but for PvP.... it just becomes a source of frustration.

Slow convergence was fundamentally broken. No matter how long you stood still, you simply couldn't converge on the correct range while leading targets.

I think Bloom could still be successful. It exists in plenty of competitive shooters which have been far more successful than MWO.

My useless pie-in-the-sky magic wand design overhaul is one reticle per weapon. Pinpoint wherever that reticle is pointing, but let the reticles wander inside a bloom radius and shake with movement and recoil. There's zero randomness - shots go exactly where the reticle is pointing when you click - but the odds of landing a bunch of simultaneous shots to the same component are close to nil unless you're standing immobile on a peak somewhere.

You see. There is merit to this but the anti convergence crowd RAGES when you discuss this coming back. Whether you think it needed work or not. MY PINPOINT GRAVITAS!

Have you tried firing 2 AC20? Their heat has been reduced. Yes there is ghost heat, but it is manageable. You may choose to throw in another DHS for good measure. I run 2AC20 on the Victor and Corsair. Most of the time I fire both and eat the ghost heat. On the Corsair I fire them with PPCs and the heat is not really an issue.
Try it before complaining.

Already have. Still sucks. My srm cat does better than ac 40 k2.
