PvP Two short questions concerning PvP arms race

[Starman 1966]

1) Are Thermal Cascade heat cannons still the cancer they used to be?

2) Is there any point in using an Emissive Munition laser or MC?

Thank you.

 

[Ian Doncaster]

1) No.

2) Yes. Very useful versus silent running, somewhat useful for increasing the tracking arc if you have gimbals.

 

[Morbad]

1) As expected they went from situationally useful to not worth ever mounting.

2.) Yes. Keeping lock through silent running or heatsink use mainly.
