30-Jan-2021: MWO 2021 Roadmap (Preamble)
http://mwomercs.com/...ne-2021-roadmap


===========================
Major weapon behavior changes:
===========================

IS: STD Large Lasers: increased to firing 4x at once without ghost heat penalty.

IS: STD PPC: increased to firing 3x at once without ghost heat penalty.
IS: STD PPC: does slight (exponential decay) damage below minimum range (similar to Clan LRM).

IS: Light-PPC: no minimum range anymore.

IS: Snub-Nose-PPC: decreased back down to firing 2x at once without ghost heat penalty (June-2022 patch)
IS: Snub-Nose-PPC: does splash damage (similar to Clan ER-PPC), damage profile 2.5 / 10 / 2.5

IS: Light-Gauss: [Maintenance_HSL]: changed to "no" ghost heat penalty (can only charge/fire 2x at once though).
IS: Light-Gauss: no longer part of ghost heat linked penalty group of IS Gauss Family & IS PPC Family.

IS: STD SRM4: increased to firing 5x at once without ghost heat penalty.

IS: Rocket Launcher: does slight (exponential decay) damage below minimum range (similar to Clan LRM).

IS: CASE: now 0 tons, still consume 1x critical slot. Equippable in Arm, Leg, Left/Right Torso.

IS & Clan: AMS ammo does not explode anymore upon crit.

IS & Clan: MASC redline threshold increased to 85% (from 75%); MASC lasts longer (fill rate decreased).

Clan: ER-Micro-Laser: changed to "no" ghost heat penalty (fire as many as you want at once!)

Clan: Micro-Pulse-Laser: increased to firing 12x at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: Micro-Pulse-Laser: no longer part of ghost heat linked penalty group of Clan ER-Micro-Laser.

Clan: AC5: increased to firing 4x AC5 at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: AC5: decreased to 1x projectile shell per shot (down from 2x).

Clan: AC10: decreased to 2x projectile shells per shot (down from 3x).

Clan: AC20: increased to firing 2x AC20 at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: AC20: decreased to 3x projectile shells per shot (down from 4x).

Clan: ATM3: increased to firing 6x ATM3 at once without ghost heat penalty.

Note: [Maintenance_HSL] = Since one can only charge/fire a maximum of 2x Gauss of any kind at once,
the [Maintenance_HSL] is devised to overcome the PPC/Gauss linked Ghost Heat penalty group.

There is an issue currently with the mech cards that are being used for the guide. The mech cards can only be generated using MechDB 1.0, however MechDB 1.0 is not updated to the current cauldron patch, so many builds do not have the correct ammo values or DPS calculations.

MechDB 2.0 is still under development but has been updated to the current patch, however there is no bot to generate new mech cards from MechDB 2.0 yet.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope to eventually have this fixed.

I was able to work around this issue by opening the link in MechDB 1.0, click save and share, copy the client link url, open MechDB 2.0, then import the build from the client link url in the clipboard. Lots of clicking, but it seems to work.

Thanks guys, for the great work you put into this guide.

I noticed the URL for the UM-K9 build with 1x UAC5 + 4x ERML is incorrect. The link takes one to the UM-K9 build w/ UAC20.
