Wow - fixed overcharged pulse lasers are now incredibly inaccurate

[Katkon]

I suppose that this is compensation for the added power, but it strikes me that they're now only really useful for extreme short range dog fights. That's of course fine for those that don't want/expect any sort of range, I was just surprised that they seem a lot less accurate than - say - their gimbaled counterparts. Anyone have similar or different thoughts?

Meanwhile, I'm my way back to a station to dismount the overcharged weapons and equip some regular lasers...

I'm fine with their inaccuracy, that's their drawback for the benefits they gain (higher RoF). If you want accurate, get the focused varient. I'm able to hit targets with my Focused Beam Lasers (Class 1) at over 2.5km with no issue at all, minus the fact that they do no where near as much damage at that range.

The o/c lasers were made less accurate in Beta 3.9 or so.

I don't think the focused have any greater range than regular, i.e 3km for all AFAIK.

Focused/low heat/overcharged seem to be quite rare nowadays, and I saw reference in some patch notes to 'rare loadouts'.
