Topic: Medium Firearms

Hypothesis - Medium Autocannons are designed to strike a single target but medium machineguns fill an area with hundred of rounds. Switch the Hit Displacement of Medium Machineguns to the same effect as Missile Explosions.

Just a thought

Re: Medium Firearms

actually not a bad idea with the displayed shower of bullets

medium autocannons will get a new grafic sooner or later anyway (bigger version of the small one)

Re: Medium Firearms

I would like to see the medium AC have a graphic like a 3 shot burst or maybe 5. Not a steady stream as it is currently.......that is good for machineguns.

Re: Medium Firearms

theres only one aspect i wouldn't like - with hit-dispersion replaced by seismics, the weapon would turn into a high-speed-always hit weapon and would shredd mechs and smalls bots alike.

it would have to be very well balanced considering the range and rate of fire of machineguns.

Re: Medium Firearms

I agree with that idea, but on all firearms. Medium firearms would be a great sloution to be balanced between mech sredding and light bots busting.

Re: Medium Firearms

Just commenting on the gfx: bursts like the ones of gattling guns, short but massive bursts would be nice.

Re: Medium Firearms

Since Machineguns rarely miss Mechs and never miss Heavies , with Precision Firing , the change to the large targets is "ZERO" . What this does is give the Mech or Heavy with these systems the ability to fend off the smaller targets.

heavy mechs and mechs actually do have that ability.

hevys got 6 medium weapons - even if 3 of them fail to hit, two or three salvos are enough to kill any small bot at very long ranges. (except with machineguns)

Mechs, except the ewar ones, all got at least one missile launcher, which is also guaranteed damage against small targets.
