You obviously don't read the forums much :)
Many players have reported PPC's not doing full damage within their optimum range, and they don't do all their damage to one area. It spreads sometimes into two areas. I've been using a K2 since CB and i can tell you that when firing both PPC's together the target will take damage in three areas.


I'll have to pay attention more when using my Awe-9M. I've been coring people out all day with it no prob.

Seems like PPCs projectile is like a giant ball. It might be bigger than the Side torsos of some mechs, hence the damage is spread out.


Even if I get a almost-hit, I get scrape damage off on the target. Chrosshairs light up and PPC shot keeps flying past.

I've not had a problem with them even with XL engines and a torso mounted Gauss. It's still a solid weapon with massive burst damage at no heat. My experience has been that if you've lost enough armor to the point that the weapon is getting hit you're probably doomed anyway.
