New Pulse lasers...

[Spooky]

Am I the only one who's learned to disregard every single thing Cloak and Dagger says?  Trollololol.   

Why would you do that? His points are not in any way completely invalid.

[Cloudburst]

His suggestions are sound.

His arguments are not.

[Cik]

as to whether or not CERPPCs are objectively better weapons than CLPLs: no. CLPLs are noticeably easier to hit with than ERPPCs unless you are shooting at extremely broad targets. certainly, hitting CT with both weapons is fairly easy. but try aiming for a moving leg at each weapon's max range and you may have more difficulty. if what he says is correct that they weigh the same though, i think this could be changed. the characteristics of the weapon as they are feel ok to me now, and are definitely better.

The travel time and bugging out of PPCs make them not the most suitable weapon to use against nimble targets.

[Cloak and Dagger]

The travel time is very small. The most it does is make them not the right weapon to combo with lasers for an alpha strike at long range.

[Cloudburst]

Sorry but no, that is blatantly wrong.

[Cloak and Dagger]

Sorry but no, that is blatantly wrong.

Maybe for the people that can't aim. 

[General_Armchair]

What ranges are we talking?  Because the travel time for ER ppcs at max range is most certainly significant.

Also, PPCs are still buggy as hell against aircraft.

[AlfalphaCat]

Sorry but no, that is blatantly wrong.

QFT, and also this.

Some folks might actually like the fact that this game is not dumbed down to the point of being a game of who can alpha-strike who first.

Alpha-striking is actually quite stupid with some very good 'Mechs.

[Spooky]

Also, as soon as you have any amount of actual travel time for a weapon, you may have additional problems with weapon convergence against moving targets at shorter distances.

I am enjoying the new pulse lasers, to me it feels like each direct -ZAP- of the laser delivers a considerate payload of damage, seeing both ground and air units go POW right from the very first pulse instead of, well, having to wait it out like it felt before..
