    Just curious what the community feelings on this are, personally i'm not keen on it but then these are two of my favorite weapons being meddled with... I haven't decided if i love it or hate it yet. Seemed to be throwing my aim and timing off in my BJ-1 AC/20 Build. Could just need time to adjust.

    I was getting too bold with my AC20 BlackJack anyway, it was becoming my go to mech since I was getting apt at taking out lights with it..... well, at least lights with retarded pilots.

    Haven't given it a shot, but I'll probably miss a lot more with my Victor and 500 ping.

    If they wanted to reduce the AC20's effective range, why couldn't they just lower its maximum range and increase damage dropoff?

    The official forums are essentially shitting themselves with rage en masse.

    The official forums are ALWAYS shitting themselves en masse.

    Slower projectile speed is good. Makes a larger difference between someone skilled with AC20s and someone who isn't without nerfing them into damage oblivion. If they nerfed the damage or increased the drop off to a point where it would differ from other ballistics and only be effective in 300 meters, then I'd be raging.

    This is the version that I use. Since the "Nerf" I survive longer (AC20 derps are now derpier), sure the 300+ meter shots are challenging but I have learned the speed difference already. If you are good at aiming/leading this is not really a nerf, only to derps.

    People now have to lead their targets.

    Hate to use this phrase but..


    QQ on official forums.

    I've barely felt this change... I still hit things as well as I ever have.

    I dont really get the AC/10 change, it seemed pretty fine to me. Now it just seems... like garbage. Maybe a preemptive nerf because it would probably become meta?

    It makes me happy to run with my Ac5's and Uac5's.
