I have 1 100t DireWolf with 4 clan ER ppc's. Max char weapon heat -10%, 127 Heat sinking with an Alpha 116.
1 alpha shot bring heat to almost max with a clan heat back. Second shot, alpha will definitely overheat me to shutdown warning. From there I have to shut down weapon systems.
Conversely, I have an LRM boat with an Alpha of 76 with 75 sink capability, It's completely heat neutral. Doesnt make sense.
I switched to 2 clan gauss and 2 clan ER ppc with the same results. lower alpha but still I have to shut down weapon systems with nearly 20 sink/gen delta.
Is there hidden heat by PPC's only? If so, why not display real heat generation?
Anyone else have same problems/advice on how to manage heat? It's not making sense and I am spending a lot of cbills testing different scenarios. Thanks!
HELP with heat mechanics!
