Using MegaMekLab's version of the AC/15, for balancing purposes. for a possible Fanfic I got in mind later on down the road.

For those of us without MML, it would be helpful to know the weapon's stats.

[Izzy193]

AC 15:

Damage: 15
Range(in Hexes): 0/4/8/12
Tonnage: 13 tons
Crits: 8
Heat: 5

Thanks! :)

[DevianID]

And the ammo is 7 per ton, which is really good for ACs.  Because it has the same rough power as an AC20, but is lighter, less heat, and better ammo I am not a fan myself.  Its less 'attempt to make an ac/15 usable' and more 'if this AC/15 existed it's so good it would be an auto upgrade for every ac20 mech to take an ac15 and medium laser instead.'

[Dakkath]

Dang, who'd've thought averaging all the stats between the ac10 and ac20 would make a disgustingly effective weapon system.

[Sabelkatten]

Well, consider that the AC/15 and AC/20 has the exact same BV - but the AC/15 is lighter, colder, and has more ammo/ton...

Is this weapon actually published anywhere?

You would think this is the kind of thing the Fed Suns would invest heavily in, before the rediscovery of the Gauss Rifle rendered it obsolete...

It's like the AC answer to the Blazer!

cheers,

It’s an old MegaMek unofficial weapon.

It’s an old MegaMek unofficial weapon.

A real pity, it just makes too much sense.
