Given the new autocannon munitions types, who here thinks that it would be worth it to begin retro-fitting some of the newer mechs to where they have the standard AC/s?

I don't really see the point of retro-fitting the old stuff...
Although it does have it's advantages, given the ammo types available, i think it would be costly in the BTech Universe.
But that's just one guy's opinion.

I like the new AC mmo enough that I prefer most regular or light AC's to their LB-X or ultra counterparts. Th excption is the AC/20, which has such low shot counts with the new ammo that it is not worth the effort.

Ultra AC/20s are worth their weight in gold. They don't need special ammunition. The pound through everything!

First time I used an UAC20 the @#$@@ thing jamed the first time I fired it. I learned how it felt to be a Great White shark with no teeth......
thank goodness you can clear the RAC when it jams, I might be able to survive piloting a Templar someday.
