Quote: I have never liked ballistic weapons at all, with the exception of the GR and LGR. Not only does the GR and LGR have range but they also have hitting power.
The GR I can understand, but the LGR? The damned thing only does 8 points of damage.
Quote:
All of the other ballistic weapons are way to heavy for what they can dish out.
What? So the 15 ton, potentially 40 point-damage doing UAC/20 is a bad weapon? Methinks you need to make more 'mechs with AC's.
Quote:
The AC2 is a joke if I want real range I will take the LGR,
While the AC/2 does have little use, it does succeed at providing flak and insane long-range damage. Also, for some weird-ass reason, the AC/2 has some weird ability to get great critical hits. Try it some time- I've lost Battlemasters to Blackjacks that way.
Quote:
the AC5 does half of the damage as a PPC,
So what if it does? The fact that it has 1/10th of the heat generation doesn't mean anything? Or the long track record on level ones?
Quote:
The AC10 is out classed by the LL by weight savings and no ammo use,
Again you are not realizing the one great advantage of AC's over lasers- heat. The AC/10, while weighing much more and requiring ammo, does more damage and generates much less heat. They also give their machines a different "flavor" than a standard only-energy user.
Quote:
and 4 med lasers can dish out what the AC20 can at 1/3 the weight.
Yeah, but at incredibly splatter-tastic damage with much higher heat. Since an AC/20 can also take my head off in one hit and is the most prime-direct damaging level one weapon, i'd fear that AC/20 much, much more.
Quote:
About the only place that I can really see any AC being of any real use is in a ICE mech or tank.
Again, you need to start using 'mechs that use AC's. Take an old level one Shadowhawk into a fight; with right planning, I have actually beaten a clan Nova with one (albeit with a little luck )
