Full Version: What is the damage per sec for a Large Bean Laser?

Seems like it fires 4 times in a second. That would be 4 pts of damage. Is that correct?

IIRC it's one damage with a recharge of one second. Just mouse over it in the mechlab.

It must fire more than four times a second...it fires faster than a (ER) Small Pulse, and those fire four times a second. Not sure, exactly.

Damage=1
Recycle=0.05 (Unless this website is teh wrong)

1 second=Recycle*20= 0.05*20=1
Damage=Damage*Number of times fired=1*20=20
Twenty damage a second?!?! blink.gif
Of course this doesn't include the time it takes for the weapon animation. If it did, the damage would be like 15 per second, or something. unsure.gif

eek13.gif huh.gif wink.gif <_<
Azrael
If you could keep it exactly on the same spot.

and that recycle is wrong, I used one not too long ago and it couldn't have recycled that fast. Maybe .5 sec.
No Guts No Glory
well, I didna add teh animation time to the recycle, which adds considerably to it.

but since I took a gander at TRM 4 it is listed as having no recycle and teh quote

Zero recycle weapons such as the Large Beam Laser and Targeting Laser will
generate a continuous accumulation of damage / heat values during use.


you don't say. rolleyes.gif

Though that 0.05 sec, could be the time it takes to animate the laser... huh.gif

Meh, whatever, I'm now confused even more than when I started.

didn't you just mouse over it in the mechlab?

that would require having MW4 on my computer.

iirc the rate of fire is 1 pt of damage for every .25sec. Therefore yes 1 sec = 4pts of damage.

As far as I'm aware, you're correct. Which means it only takes two seconds for it to out-perform any other laser out there. And after 5 seconds it beats the ERLL in efficiency by quite a substantial amount.

Of course, you have to factor in the wacked out heat-scale to really determine how heat-efficient it is, but damage-wise, there's no other laser that compares (as far as I can tell - I only did limited amounts of comparison, specifically the two longer-ranged counterparts, the ERLL and ISLL).

But then, I'm bitter and miss the old heatscale, so what do I know? tongue.gif Nothing like the havoc Kalie and I would wreak in a 2 ERLL, 2 ERLPL Ryoken.

Edit: Dur, how did I forget to compare to the pulse lasers? Righto, guess I'll do that tomorrow.
nano
Thanks guys!

Smoke - You can josh with me anytime man! Just tell me who that chick is in your sig!

Azrael - Yeah, the problem is the recycle time is listed as zero in the mechlab. This can't be exactly correct.

Who decided to put "m" and "n" so close together on the keyboard anyway?

"corn cannon" ... That's a good one!
