it's really not that hard to program a ballistics arc targetting system, the problem is if they make it too simple it becomes too powerful, but in MW4 they made it idiotic though personally I think it'd be fantastic if they made it and then included things like drift and spin (the cannon is a short barreled version of the real artillery piece, stands to reason that the further out you shoot the less accurate it would be just like a sawed off shotgun)

As Clans like to BID their forces, its just might come to 1 star vs 2 IS lances fights or something like that. (to balance the technical superiority) (quality vs quantity)
Im sure PGI has this figured out before Clans get here.
As Bob said 3 weeks ago:
Just my two cents for the debate over Clan vs. IS tech and balance.
One thing I remember from the novels is that all Clans would bid for the right to attack in battle.
The one that bid the least amount of mechs and resources to win the battle would get the privilege to fight it.
This lead to the clan’s fighting against double or triple the amount of IS mechs, So while the Clan tech is OP when compared to IS tech the numbers were on the IS side.
So you would not see a 12 vs. 12 Clan/IS battle but you would see something more like 5 vs. 8 Clan/IS given the Clan use a 5 Mech Star (Lance) and the IS use a 4 Mech Lance for unit organization.

Which means, there will be clan tech at the start?
Or these informations are outdated?

Pulse Lasers were re-introduced to the IS by the Draconis Combine in 3037.
(FWIW, Phelan Kell would have been 6-7 years old at that time.)
However, like most other examples of LosTech, they would have been expensive and rare, and generally reserved for use by the elite units of the Houses' militaries and the very, very few mercenary companies who could afford them.
So, it's unlikely that most mercenary groups (even vaunted ones, like the Kell Hounds) or independent MechWarriors would have seen much of them, much less used them.
In fact, the Devs themselves made much the same point in their March 08 posting, "Oohh... Shiny!"

I have two kids, a wife, a 40+ hr job, a mortgage and a honey do list that knows no end. Time is a bit of a premium for me but guess what I do have a lot of money and I am willing to pay a few dollars to level the playing field with all those knucklehead high school and college kids who have nothing but time.

First 10 minutes... 2 launches...
For the future:
1. Pass throught trees... Where i am?
2. Can't notice my status/enemy status... autotergeting on cursor will be nesessary...
3. 5 minutes was find "launch" button.
4. Can't change resolution... 1280-1024 will be fine...
5. My movements are to sharply... My mass(tonnage) in a real life, can't give me a quick movements like in the game...
