Morblitz:
They're still devastating weapons.

I am a beta player, but I joined a week before the end I believe. I do remember the Mercs being very powerful but it's been awhile since I've been up against a double merc pyra
JaegerDelta:
i find the issue with the merc's isnt so much with the mercs themselves. its when they are set up on a pyra.
you can set them up on the side and turn at the start of a match and blast holes in everything. and if they close you just turn and use your front guns and fight a mid to close range battle.
its the only ship that can go from fully sniper to fully mid/close assault and it does it with good health, easy repair set up, and good speed. its just a silly ship and the mercs really point that out. :P
HamsterIV:
I joined after Beta, but I started taking up the double Merc Pyra recently after the reduction in explosive armor breaking made the heavy flack a less dominant weapon. I normally mount them on the side of the Pyra so I can use the front guns for close in work where I have to exert more control of the distance.
I use them under certain conditions, such as:
If an ally is getting double teamed and I don't think they will survive long enough to rush to their aid.
If I am on a capture point and want to cause damage without leaving it.
If I am waiting for a the capture point swap on Crazy King and want to weaken the other team from the 1/2 way point to the new capture point.
Unless the other ship has incompetent engineers I don't expect the mercs to kill the other ship, but they will keep the engineers distracted and annoy the captain.
@ JaegerDelta
You can also do that with a junker, but the junker isn't as good at brawling as the Pyramidion is. Since you have flown both with me and against me in the past few days while I was fielding the ship setup you discribe, I will assume you are referring to the "Mo Dakka Dakka Dakka." In which case thank you, I do try for silly whenever I can.
