So i´m dipping a bit into both the Battletech game by hairbrained scemes and megamech which emulates the actual tabletop ...

now pilotskill is like the easier to understand of the 2

however one thing i never understood is how does gunnery affect your individual weaponuse
like are there differences in using say a medium laser or low caliber autocannon with a low gunnery pilot compared to using a PPC or gaussrifle?

or does it just not matter at all if i give the low gunnery pilot 2 medium lasers or a gaussrifle were he´s equaly bad with both?

One question and one suggestion:

1) In your post above, are you asking about the HBS BattleTech or the tabletop BattleTech / MegaMek?

2) There is the entire section dedicated to BattleTech: BattleTech® Discussion

The short answer is that he's bad with both. Depending on tech and mods, certain weapons are easier or harder to hit with. A bad gunner with pulse lasers will be slightly less bad, for example.
