I have tried every weapon in ED except the PP weapons. Despite being rank 100+, I figured I would give them a try.
I'll say, the only 2 PP weapon modules I like are the Cytos and Enforcers.
WE NEED MOAR ENFORCERS! Fixed, Gimballed, and Turreted variants on all 4 sizes.
They dont need to be DPS upgrades to the standard Multi-Cannons (like the 1F Enforcer), but rather side-grades. Same overall damage, same DPS, but have higher damage per shot with reduced ammo and RoF.
Overall, the 1F MC does 2352 damage with 2100 rounds. The 1F Enforcer does 2850 with 1000 rounds. the DPS of the 1F enforcer is also about 50% higher than the standard 1F fixed MC.
As an example,
using the 4A gimballed MC; it has the following specs:
3.46 damage per bullet and fires 2 bullets at a time.
The RoF is 3.367 shots per second, multiplied by 3.46x2 is a total DPS of 23.3.
Max damage per 2100 rounds is 14,532.
Magazine size is 90.
Reload is 5 sec
2k falloff, 4k max range, 1600 shot speed
It has 4 non-rotating barrels (similar to an M45 AA gun, or ZPU-4 AA gun) that fires 2 barrels simultaneously and alternates top/bottom pair.
A 4A Gimballed Enforcer variant could have the following specs:
14.6 damage per bullet and fires 1 bullet at a time.
The RoF would be 1.596 shots per second, multiplied by 14.6 is a total DPS of 23.3.
Max Damage per 1000 rounds would be 14,600.
Magazine size is 45
Reload is 5 sec
2.25k falloff, 4.5k max range, 1800 shot speed ( due to the larger caliber shell used similar to the 1F enforcer)
It could feature 3 rotating barrels (similar to a Gau-19 obviously larger, or the 3 barrel MC concept art on ED's Fandom MC page) that fires 1 round at a time and has that Enforcer firing sounds as well.
Overall damage, DPS, and firing duration is the same (within rounding error) between the 4A gimballed MC and the Example 4A Gimballed Enforcer variant I speced out above.
