Alright. I've seen a lot of talk about Heat Sinks effectiveness in each slot. I understand crit padding for XLs in Side Torso slots, however, I cannot find any place online that specifies the "Internal Engine" heat sinks properly. A DHS is 1.4x a SHS. In an power-plant, a DHS is 2.0. However, with additional heat sink slots in an engine, are those actually 2.0 or are additional DHS only 1.4? I cannot find an answer in my searches. Sorry for a silly topic on the forum, I simply cannot find anything more than arguements in my searches for how MWO operates with heatsinks in engines. Thanks, fellas. Chatt.
From what I know, ANY DHS you add to your mech is 1.4 only. The 2.0 DHS only apply to the OEM ones pre-installed in the engine. Not sure about SHS, but who the hel cares... for the most part you should not be using SHS anyways, cause if you are even thinking about heat you should be on DHS.
Thank you. That is the consensus I arrived at. I just wanted to make sure my builds were mix/max'd to the best. Thanks!
