Weapon Changes Excluded From Patch Notes
#1
Posted 01 December 2023 - 12:14 PM
I have not played streak boat in many months. In fact, I only play IS to avoid the wrath of developers with their clan bias in this game.
Does PGI really think nobody notices the smallest of changes to weapons and mech scaling? Not including them in the patch notes is just wrong. There is a clear history of this type of development at PGI.
What do you think?

They're not exactly overachieving weapon systems.

Both jamming and weapon velocity same as before.
Patch history some of which contain RAC weapon changes are all found here fyi:
https://mwomercs.com...auldron-changes
https://mwomercs.com/game/patch-notes
(Easier reference to info for everyone in this discussion thread).
============================
Addendum:
(A) If you want more weapon velocity on your 2xRAC5, then you're too far away from enemy...
consider to switch to 3xRAC2 for future use in similar situations for an assault mech...
By the way, there are now two (2) mechs that have +1 HSL RAC2, meaning you can fire 4xRAC2 at once!
4xRAC2 is more powerful than 2xRAC5 in my books... and weapon velocity is way better for longer ranges!
NSR-10P(P) with ECM can fire 4xRAC2 all at once!
FNR-J(LGD) or FNR-J[H] can fire 4xRAC2 all at once!

(B ) OR, use a Bushwacker BSW-X1(S): 2xRAC5 with +50% Weapon Velocity bonus!!

Interesting.
Could you tell us what were those Rotary AC-5 Rate of Fire and Jam Chance values before 21. XI. 2023, and what are those values now, i.e. after 21. XI. 2023, please?

I don't think there's a way to increase the ROF on a RAC, or is there some quirk change I've missed?

(I won't use RAC5s)
you have to ask around or watch other players on twitch

I think you are imagining things.

i got a weapons xml on my desktop which i haven't updated since june. rof is 7.275 and jam chance is 0.037. comparing to the current live version the values are the same.

What mech, please?
Edit: NVM I found em on MechDB
Yep, a mech quirk change is the most likely reason. Which mech? One of the Bushwackers from the September patch?
Yikes, how did I miss that? The X1 has a 50% velocity boost on all weapons? Time to put some missiles on it!

I think you should play with whatever weapons you want, regardless of what other people think.
