Loch changes and effect on overall gameplay
Squidslinger Gilder:
It's kinda silly to be honest. Really Loch doesn't need to be changed, just change the guns. Take them back to original damage totals and nix arming timers. Then loch comes in as that single shot monstrosity that engineers dread but know that the chances of it hitting are low. Really why was Loch changed to something that is usable at all ranges? Originally it was a CQC only shot and you had to literally shove it up the other ship's butt for it to land where you wanted it. But when it did...holy crap!
DJ Logicalia:
Yeah, my biggest point of confusion is "why"? Loch was fine. It was standard ammo in Lumberjack, H.Flak (well, the old one anyway), H.Carro, and mines. That's a majority of heavy guns. It was a niche, heavy hitting ammo for heavy, hard hitting weapons. It was in a fine place. If any ammo type needed changes, it was Heavy, which is unoptimal in every gun, the exact opposite of Loch which is totally optimal in almost every gun

What if shooting loch put your gun on a mallet-length repair cooldown?

Which is why this is somewhat wrong and buffgineers and gunners are superior when maintaining most loch guns except the one shot one slike Merc and H Carro.
Richard LeMoon:
Everyone in testing pretty much agreed that the 'new loch' was a great ammo when it was set at +60-ish% damage. But no one agreed that it was Lochnagar. Everyone wanted it to be a new ammo to be Loch's high clip partner in crime. This is the effect of trying to ride two horses with one saddle.
Don't worry. It will be changed quite rapidly.
