But that still does not make up for weapons hardpoint inflation.

For a mech like IS Jenner, may I propose:
  • -50% Cooldown (ie: double fire rate of the few weapons on the Jenner)
  • DOUBLE Armor/Structure (especially its arms)

It is technically part of the power creep problem in that it's giving an opportunity to play catch up by the many, many chassis that were left behind as more and more powerful mechs were released over time. Some of the ones playing catch up have NEVER been at a parity point of power with the rest of the game.

But it's not cyclical power creep that is feeding back into itself.

Just in case it hasn't been pointed out yet, the warhammer 7s is missing one of its two armor quirks for its torsos. Its only on the left torso.

Known issues (that I'm aware of):
  • WHM-7S is missing armor on its right torso
  • MAD-IIC-8 got pulse laser duration instead of pulse laser cooldown
  • PHX-1K and 1K(S) have JJ burn duration without being able to equip JJs.


We've forwarded those to PGI.

The "goal" here, as it were, is simply to contest the stated assertion by some here that the minus 15 structure and plus 15 armor on the right arm of the COM-1D (indisputably the best Commando) is going to have even the slightest hint of the tiniest iota of an impact on your gameplay experience.

Edit: and please, by all means, post your Commando stats. Any variant.


I do not want to interfere with someone else's conversation, but I will allow myself to leave one comment.
- 15 points of structure + 15 points of armor ≠ - 15 points of structure + 15 points of armor.
My answer is a little more detailed.
When you (before the new quirks) have destroyed the entire armor from the Commando's arms, the weapons placed in the arm become available for a critical hit. But, when you transfer 15 points of structure into 15 points of armor, you cover the weapon from a critical hit with 15 points of additional armor. And this already changes something... Additional armor is better than additional structure.
And I also note that for some reason you are emphasizing that the Commando does not kill effectively enough compared to other heavier mechs. Well, first of all, this is just natural: it would be strange if a cyclist with a pistol had the same combat effectiveness as, for example, a Hammer with a machine gun.
And secondly. The main value of the Commando's survivability is that he can, alone for a long time, bind three or four enemy's heavier Mechs in combat simultaneously. What is the enemys to do in this case? Ignore the Commando? It does not work, it will kill. Distracted by this unkillable *******? There is a high probability of getting shots from a large number of opponents or, for example, wasting time and being surrounded. This is the main value of the Commando. And not that it should have a K/D comparable to heavier Mechs.
And when the Commando flies into the crowd of opponents, the enemy has no time to figure out which modification of the Commando came without an invitation: dangerous or not dangerous. In any case, you have to be distracted by him. In such a situation, streak mechwhich accidentally happened to be nearby, could help. But with a probability of 99.5% he will not be near because streaks now completely unsuitable for battle. The streaks are now under the wrath of the PGI/Cauldron.
I also want to note the very number of the additional armor/structure for the lights. For example, the discussed 15 points. I'll put it this way: not every much heavier mech that carries the main weapon in its hands has this amount of additional armor/structure, but at the same time, the volume of the their hitbox (arm) can be many times greater than the Commando's handles.
I do not want to argue with you. I wrote this so that maybe, after reading my post, look at the Commando from a slightly different angle. Something, maybe, will become clearer for you.

Hi. Can we get +50% ammo/ton for Arctic Cheetah?

Would make Missile-builds and Ballistic builds a bit more manageable, and would allow for better laser selection.

I think that wouldn't classify as one because you'd have to partition your shots. Kinda why they didn't accept the 4x MRM30s or some ****.

I mean dude is basically saying "Yamato had the largest cannons among all battleships in WW2 so it was the best ship in the world" when it got destroyed by carriers. Because it's much easier to whine about how X weapon does more damage then any other weapon in the game without taking into account any secondary stats to keep pushing for years stupid narrative of how IS mechs are op.

you may be right but there are things where you should ask yourself if that is correct
Comando buff ?
Stalker buff?
Fafnir?

why was the speed of the ERPPC from IS side changed after so many years

Weapons system with point damage are on the IS side

2x Heavy Gauss
2x Light Gauss-2x ERPPC
3 Snub Nose 1 AC 20 all no gost heat
max 50 DMG

Clan
2x Gauss or
2x ER PPC
max 30 DMG

There has never been, and never will be, a perfect balance And I think you know exactly what I mean

And yet you can do
  • 3 cAC5 / 2 cERPPC - 35dmg (45dmg) @ 850m

  • 4 cAC10 / 2 cERPPC - 60dmg (70dmg) @ 650m
etc etc
And you're going to compare such things as 350m AC20/SNPPC? HGauss? 350m of weaponry? And a single long range IS LGauss/ERPPC build? Posted Image

There are a number of arguments that simply do not add up when you remove the rose coloured glasses and actually compare fairly. Oddly enough it is life-long Clan apologists? I'd say I'm surprised but I'm kinda not.

As I've said a few times. A number of people need to go and consult the mechlab and fully appreciate the changes. Go and change your builds and see there is a whole new world out there other than cSSRMs and UAC10s.

The changes you have listed only existed for a single month. And before PGI started working with the community.
Those no longer exist.

Yes, I know, but the question was why something like this was even done, or for what reason when there has been no change at the ERPPC for so many years

But you won't dare comment on the cAC5 because? In gameplay cAC10 is very, very close to PPFLD with the velocity and lowered pallet count.

IS ERPPC current value is 1900. The patch notes you link are from a PGI patch that was in the game for one month later and was a nothing to do with the Cauldron.

It has no relevance to anything here in October.

If you are trying to give feedback please don't bring completely irrelevant data/stats to an argument, especially not 6 months+ old ones.

Because c ERPPC is extremely strong.

Why would you buff something that is one of the strongest weapons in the game?
