It is extremely confusing for new and even existing players when they put on a weapon and look at the firepower stat or the heat mgt stat and think they're doing 120 damage with 4xRAC2 in an alpha




A machine gun shouldn't say it does as much damage as a medium laser

This is extremely confusing for people and it is why you often see a single machine gun on so many mechs

Your right many weapons when placed on a mech in the machlab have false values in actual game play you can go into the testing grounds and see quite a difference in what the mechlab damage says and actual damage per shot says take for example 2 RAC5 placed on a mech in the lab they say 120 damage per shot for both weapons but in the test lab and in game they only register 20 damage per shot for both weapons that is a lot of difference.

So unless you pretest them each weapon or weapon combos and find their real damage or dps potential the values shown in the mechlab based on their stats are totally wrong + or - in actual game play.
