- \/\/ell, compare the two and adjust the range of the Pulse ML to
- account for the -2:
-
- Heat Dam 2 4 6 8 Tons Crit
- ER Medium 5 7 - 1-5 6-10 11-15 1 1
- Pulse Medium 4 7 1-4 5-8 9-12 - 2 1

- /-\s you can see, the Pulse ML actually beats the ER ML for range
- everywhere except at ranges beyond 12, PLUS it has that nice 2 less
- to-hit on ranges below 5. It may weigh a ton more, but it does 1 less
- heat. Using regular heat sinks, they're even. Using double heat sinks,
- the Pulse ML is only down half a ton. (Reminds me of caomparisons
- between the PPC and the AC/5, when BattleTech/Droids first came out. :)
- ___
- |hen use your own reasoning and compare the Pulse ML to the original
- BT weapons, say a PPC. The Pulse ML has the same or better to-hit out
- to range 12, does 3 less damage but 6 less heat, weighs only 2 tons,
- and has no minimum range.
