Seems alright. The speed boost was definitely necessary, but now they just need to tone down the heat on ERPPCs, change the minimum range mechanic on the PPC to something else (recoil damage?), and add the secondary canon side effects (heat transfer, UI scramble, ECM effects, etc.)

The minimum range should stay in as that is what differentiates the PPC from the ER PPC. Personally, with the projectile speed buff I think both the PPC and ER PPC are fine where they're at, and if they add ECM effects they'll be great. I don't think they should reduce the heat generation as then I believe they would be unbalanced. The heat is fine as long as you are not trying to boat them.

I also feel ppc not hitting as hard as they should I currently have 2 on an Awsome and hit a raven 3 times and didn't even slow it down

Yeah, people have no idea what to do against the PPC now. I use it to kill Stalkers and with the arm coverage vs. the Gausscat's torso guns you come out on top. You can fire over cover while they're poptarting to get their torso over cover.

This is in my Catapult K2.
