ACs track much better than pulse lasers, hit consistently farther than blasters, have easy fitting requirements, require no cap to run, can use selectable damage and excel in projection to web-scram-long point ranges.
Many ppl do not really understand how falloff range works with ACs, and the fact that they are not the "god mode" unbalanced weapon of the past upsets them greatly. |

Quote:(are you sure about that? because when comparing pular laser and auto cannon fits for diferent fleet comps, the laser ships always seem to squeeze out more tracking)
Yes, I'm sure. A problem with many pulse kiters is that they are more agile than the lasers they use...XD
Quote:(oh wow i can do 10% of my dps at range? how useful in the current meta of pvp)
As I said previously, many ppl do not really understand how falloff range works with ACs.
Quote:and are only bonused on ships that racially lower fitting
Other modules are not though, and ACs allow for easier fitting. Thats one of the reasons you also encounter them in other racial hull loadouts, even unbonused.
Quote:but most laser and blaster ships have much strong local capacitors to make up for it
And not make up for cap warfare as well.
Quote:not as good projection as lasers
Only with OP Scorch, and then you run into cap/fixed damage/tracking issues.
Again, ACs are balanced now. Learn how to use them. |

Why aren't you pleased then?
The fact that short range weapons are more balanced now than in the winmatar days does not mean that ACs are bad. It means they are balanced (or to put it another way, less imbalanced).
Want to talk about balance issues? Lets talk about how HMLs fare now, or how medium rails did before Odyssey.
Stop whining, play the game. |

Use Pyfa. Take a hull that is not bonused for either (an amarrian frigate will do), make two copies, fill one with an AC, the other with a neutron and then put them in a graph. The numbers set are for an AB frigate target with a web applied.
