Is UAC2 and 5 projectile speed the same?

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

So i'm kicking it, out in a huit prime yesterday doing AA when I start wondering, are the UAC2 and 5 shell velocity the same?  I was landing pretty consistently with the UAC2 fire but not the 5 when they were grouped together.  Obviously i could hit with all the weapon were flying directly at me but tracking laterally through the sky the UAC 5 always seemed a bit late in the group.

For AA purposes, the platform probably needs all of the same type of weapons to have a single projectile velocity to compensate for when leading a target.

Might be my imagination but I get the feeling they are different.
I was shooting at a Shiva and doing crap damage to it with the UAC2s, but then my UAC2s ran out of ammo and i was just firing UAC5s, at which point after I compensated, my damage shot up, that seems to me to support that they are slower.
Not sure.
Perhaps start having them in different groupings and save the UAc5s for Shivas?

hmm i'd rather drop the UAC5's and pick up 3 UAC2's  this would drop the extra ammo down to 6 tons, but that wouldn't too bad.  While the overall potential damage might drop, the fact the projectiles would be firing at the same rate should help increase the effective damage that's done to aeros vtols

Not quite: AC2@2000 vs AC5@1800 (Clan/ultra/whatever).

Does make it easier to score some hits, though. (And of course there's the range difference.)

they certainly have different flight arcs.  I use the UAC2s to get my tracking down, then wait until they close to bringin the 5s.  If you do it too early, you have to raise the pip to get the 5s to hit and the 2s sail over thier heads.  Within the 5s labeled range, they seem to nearly hit/fall through the same spot in space...thts when you can bring a lot of hurt on tje Aeros(relativly speaking).

good advice there cocoa. I always forget to adjust the pip vertically when tracking latterly for the UAC5s

The 2s don't seem to do much damage since 0.3.   I'm liking the 5s though, both for aeros and BAs. 

As you suggest, they do seem to have different rates of fire.

Tonight I scored 12 kills for 1 death on Mirage using mostly a Huit.   It took 3 of us on permanent AA duty, with me shooting at Mechs for the brief periods that the skies were clear.   

The 5s did most of the damage.
