I'm not arguing that in game weapon values should be set to mimic certain real life weapons. I simply wanted to put out some numbers for real life cannons to allow for some perspective in discussing their in-game values.

wow, really. ? Thanks for the data maxx.
Cant believe the buff for erppc ppc.
Still cant believe people posting RL data for weapon systems..
talk about apples and oranges.
How about missles then... ?
A bottle rocket travels faster than lrm in game.

People have been posting the data for weapons for umm....Months...Krivvan was doing it for awhile there.

Lrms need to travel at SRM speeds.

Lrms need to travel at 3/4 SRM speeds.

I agree with the trial Awesome. This mech is why I came back to using ppcs. Although I would throw out those lasers in favor of some heatsinks.

Instead of dmg buff and velocity I would like to see to see the famous disruption ability of this cannon.

Not to shutdown hud by maybe increasing for a second locking on and disabling ECM for 2-3 seconds. Also if the mech is struck with ppc it would be nice to see this blue flame I remember from MW4.
A small decrese in heat would be nice though.

Want tracers?

Yes (maybe optional?)


PS: Nice to meet a fellow squirrel.

Real autocannon round muzzle velocities are upwards from 1000 meters per second. Having this game put them a little higher than that simply seems right, concidering the technology.

The proposed speeds are great, IMO.
