i wouldn't mind seeing in game, a small quick Jam alert, to alert me when the UAC5 has jammed. Kinda like overheat or critical warnings, but for weapons jams.

I often find after firing rapidly it jams, and battle is often tense so i don't see that it's jammed, and wonder why im not firing. (ammo, weapon list etc)

Just a little nuance, but it would be very useful for an alert. even display it in the little blank windows in my cockpit.

+1 I totally agree, If I had an alert I would consider using the UAC again. I'm not even gonna get into that it jams WAY to often, but at least then I know its happened. Right now your only indication (besides looking away from the fight) is when you click it doesn't fire and most the time I assume that's because it is still on cool-down.

Seems to me that the UAC5 should have a 10% chance of jamming every ten seconds. (actually stats may vary, just tink about the concept) It fires 6 times in that period. 10 / 6 = 1.67 says that it should have roughly a 2% chance to jam per shot, or a 3% chance to jam if fired during its cooldown. This is simple math. The UAC5 definately jams too often.

But definately on the warning. It could even be and audible warning "Weapon Jam" in a nice feminine voice....
everytime you try to fire it. and/or a flashing red light on your instrument panel.

With the amount that it jams... The AC-5 fires faster. Why bother using the UAC at all... =/

I had one jam on me 9 times in a match ...and we didn't engage until 3 or 4 minutes into it and combat lasted like 5 min max ... way to jammy ... lol new word
