I just have one simple request:

Could you please, please have the same sound of auto cannons like they were in MW2/MW3? Nothing sounded se xier. :)

Thank you.

Yes and please, oh please don't make them cheeze cannons like they were in Mechwarrior 3 with super insane knockdown ability (plus little lag-boat owens running around to compound the problem).

MW3 PPC sound is the best one for PPC!

hahaha YES. This is exactly how I want autocannons to be represented in the new mw. I always pictured AC2/AC5s as something like 30mm bushmaster cannons, whereas AC10's were like ~67mm battleship deckguns, and AC20s were like 120mm tank guns. Machineguns can be like .50 cals.

yes please

i never liked the single shot approach to representing ACs. I like me some oversized repeating cannon.

at about 2 tons, 1.5 is the gun, .5 is the ammo...

it's practically a primitive BT machinegun... you know, if you don't use the ridiculously short tabletop ranges
and ignore that BT machienguns take 15 minutes! to go through half a ton of ammo, where as an a10's GAU 8 goes through half a ton of ammo in like 20 seconds or so.

I'm more interesting in will autocannons be a burst-delay-burst or a hold down the trigger continuous fire until you run out of ammo?

The GAU-8 Avenger as shown in the last video is what I'd use for the machineguns. It's ballzy but admittedly *just* powerful enough to be dangerous to something in order of multiple MBTs of mass and power.

"Just" powerful enough? I would have thought that several thousand rounds per minute of 30mm depleted uranium penetrators would pretty much make large holes in anything.

Not that I would object to having a GAU-8 on a mech. No sir.

nah, rotary cannons should be akin to rotary AC's from btech. The vid I posted above should be representative of regular AC's, and revolver cannons (single barrel guns with revolving chambers for increased ROF):
should represent Ultra AC's

Sounds fine enough to me! Sucks that I can't find a video of the old sounding ACs for a comparison, all I can find are Mguns.

As for sounds that are 15 years old, for some of us old school people, it's the sound of happiness. That's all.

stock autocannons should be one trigger pull = one shell. Then, continuous fire if the trigger is held down.
Now, the larger the caliber, the slower the RoF. so an A\C2 fires like a 20mm cannon, and the A\C20 like
an Abrams gun on autoload.

all this talk of gatling guns and GUA 8's? in btech terms; those are Rotary A\C's people...
as for Ultra A\Cs; make it two shots per trigger pull, and double rate with a long pull, but
keep in the chance of a jam! (make jams fixable, but leave them in!)
