PPC Duel Amongst the Weight Classes

[@thattigercat]

It's not spazzing out flying around the ring like a drugged up murder hornet so is it really representative of a spider?

[@fix0the0spade]

Meanwhile a Hellstar lurks on the horizon, wondering about who it's going to melt first.

[@machinist7230]

A lance mde up of a Hellstar, a Dire Wolf, an Awesome C, and an Atlas walked into a bar.... And nobody said anything because they knew what was good for them! 😇

[@BeansAndWeens]

still not as scary as playing the Mini-atlas urbanmech, and then having to fight 2 very much real Atlas mechs.

[@idiom2805]

Anyone who really plays mwo will tell you the 5v spider is way scarier than three heavy ppcs.

[@MunkeyMechPilot]

I've had better luck with my snub spidder, but one good shot at the right range lol

[@bojcio]

spiders are a joke if you have half decent aim

[@idiom2805]

@@bojcio that's the neat part, most mwo players don't!

[@sunrisejackdaw1779]

If. Of course this is all irrelevant if you have ATM48 on your side. Behold! Swoosh.

[@idiom2805]

@@sunrisejackdaw1779 good luck getting a stable lock :^]

[@tomtheconqerur]

Still perfer the 9Q, 4 PPCs is pretty good.

[@marsar1775]

i love spiders not gonna lie. they are so fun to pilot in a harasser role or light skirmisher. great fun to annoy a heavy or assault because they cant turn fast enough to keep up! just dont get tunnel vision or his buddies will line up a good shot however, sometimes its really funny when they corner ya. there have also been times where i gotta admit, i was outplayed. Chargers are good spider bait, what can i say

[@machinist7230]

Uhm, am i the only one to notice the video maker has the wrong Awesome variant? The 9m has 3 ER PPCs. Its the 11h that has the three heavy PPCs. 🤓

[@MunkeyMechPilot]

The 11h isn't in mwo, I didn't know that lol. In fairness in MWO the go to for triple heavy peep is actually the 8Q

[@khoid]

Fake! heavy ppc don't work at close range!

[@bojcio]

it does now

Why Bender? Why?

[@bluesbreaker6657]

I’m just wondering why a single snub instead of twin lights. I guess if it’s the CT that makes sense, but I managed to build a javelin with 4 light PPCs split between the side torsos. Not as scary as my 4 light Urbie, but still.

[@MunkeyMechPilot]

Well I'd say 2 reasons; the 5v can only fit one snub due to the 2 energy hardpoints are in the ct but there are only 2 slots available. The main reason, I thought it was funny lol

[@bluesbreaker6657]

@@MunkeyMechPilotYeah I was kinda getting at that first one. Some spiders do have arm slots instead, but that's not a guarantee. But that second reason is the REAL one. And it's a good reason.

[@j-frame]

Heavy PPC less range then Clan Er PPC while doing same damage and the weapon is heavier.

[@bthsr7113]

Clan tech is good. As is clan spec tech. Though sometimes the Inner Sphere is more creative, leading Clans to adopt inventions from their supposed lessers. Like RAC tech. Or in this case, PPC capacitors.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

Not in MWO. Clan ERPPCs only have 10 pinpoint damage and 5 splash damage as a nerf. HPPCs have 15 pinpoint damage and thus hit the hardest out of all the PPCs in MWO.

[@j-frame]

@@philtkaswahl2124 I don't care about MWO which nerf everything from Double heat sink to Lasers. I cannot even build a 95 tons mech with 4 Clan ER PPC and carries 30 double heat sinks(15 in engine) and the ability to alpha strike without shutting down.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

​@@j-frameAnd I'm just clarifying because the video is tagged MWO.

[@canislupus3655]

This just in; Inner Sphere tech less efficient than Clan tech. More news at 11.
