Clan UAC10 patch change

Just read the following in the release notes for the upcoming patch:

Gameplay Fixes and Changes

• Clan Ultra AC/10: Fixed an issue where firing 4 UAC/10s simultaneously would not incur the intended heat scale penalty.

What is the implication of the fix? Quad UAC10 builds running hotter?

 

also 4x cAC10 is still unaffacted with super low heat.

 

So, is Ghost Heat for 4x cUAC10 getting retuned or was this a coding mistake that has been in the game for 2+ years and now is finally getting fixed to implement the ghost heat indicated on Smurfy?

12% increase, if there was no ghost heat before.
Cool. (pun intended)

 

Personally I had a feeling they might nerf the UAC10 a bit to reign in the KDK-3s that have been running amok. I'm hoping that it doesn't make too much difference as I use it on my bear and one of my direwolf variants (and I like it a lot).

 

I didn't even know this bug existed but talking to a few KDK-3 pilots they certainly did.

Translated, totally rework the heatscale.

cUAC10 : cUA20
3.00
6.00 : 7.00
17.10
33.60 : 30.80
56.85
86.85 : 75.60
125.85
178.35 : 145.60
248.85
341.85 : 247.10
479.85
707.85 : 380.10

So, for 8 more tons and two ballistic hard points, you get penalized by a lot more?

I think I am going to try and get a refund for Night Gyr.

Thank you Smurfy.

Even if you have just two, be very, very careful about double tapping.

 

I'm not entirely surprised as KDK-3's were obscene - essentially invalidating every other assault.

 

Not sure if double tap would start ghost heat though.

 

Apparently it is not supposed to, but currently it is bugged.

Probably has been bugged for a while (2 years?), but the ghost heat was so low on 10's that it usually wasn't noticed.

Exception being Solahma's 5xUAC10.

 

My hunchback IIC with dual UAC10 's I'm levelling runs rather hot now as soon as I double tap..... was too terrified to unleash my full firepower much ...

 

It is now working as intended.

So how long was that bug in place?

 

Well we used UAC 10's on HB IIC's a lot but as just two of them it was never noticed I guess.
