2021年6月20日 · PPC weight(7 tons) vs Large Laser weight(5 tons), PPC weighs 40% more. Weights are the same regardless of tier. Damage: PPC 11.4 damage with 12.632 ROF = 144 damage/minute vs Large Laser 11 damage with 9.6 ROF = 105.6 damage/minute. PPC damage is 36.4% more per minute(but only 3.6% more damage per shot).

2021年6月23日 · In a large energy slot, LL and PPC are both options. Ergo, they should be compared. LLs don’t compare to PPC. PPC are high variance weapons and LL are not. PPC compare to LPL where they’re clearly superior. LPL do more damage for less heat, at the same tonnage as a PPC. Their burst time is comparable to a SB L. LL compare instead to ML.

PPC's do mess with the HUD if they impact within 90m of a mech, however. It's unknown if this has any effect on the (usually) piss poor accuracy of the AI, and it's not likely to be known unless someone digs around in the game files (I'd do it just out of curiosity, if I didn't have to deal with Epic to get the UDK).

2022年3月11日 · In MW5 you are rarely at ranges that demand ER PPCs for more than one volley. If you figure you alpha that ER volley and manage to hit, that’s three extra shots on target. By the time you cool down, you’re already in PPC range, and at that point the PPC is CONSIDERABLY better. PPC’s all the way in MW5. ER PPC’s are for flat TT maps.

In MW5 the PPC-X does more than double damage as a regular PPC, with double the rate of fire, and less than half the heat. At medium range its obviously less effective due to weapons spread, but at short range is an absolute monster.

PPC-X to me seems just so broken at 27dmg and half cooldown. I cleared entire DLC6 with my MAD with 2x PPC-X, 2ML & AC5-bf --- you don't need to be as close as you think, and even if 50% of your shots hit where you want, it's still the same damage as a standard PPC , benefit is if/when you get in close you can core an assaults in like 3-4 ...

2019年12月11日 · In Mw5, when design was partially led by Jordan Weissman, (pre-MWO) PPCs were going to have a charge up mechanic. (To note, that supposedly wasn't so much a straight stackpole but an ammo explosion distablizing the reactor, which then caused a stackpole.

A "GOOD" ppc build has more utility as the primary weapon for a sustainable brawler or a lone mech. The ac 20 "and the ac line in general " is better for fire support in a well built "lance". Multiple mechs with similar weapons putting down constant target …

2021年10月10日 · PPCs are hot but are also one of the best general purpose weapons in the game, there main limiting factor is heat, my rule of thumb is this, you start at 1 heat sink per second, for each ppc added, add 0.5 heat sink per second, so if you have 2 ppcs you would want 2 heat sink per second (1 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 2)

2019年12月17日 · There is no minimum, which is awesome and makes ppcs viable for brawl builds (ppc, srms and or ballistics) Under 90m the drawback is that they will cause sensor disruption. Other than that they are 2/3 slower and have ~2/3 the max range of the ER.
