📋 About This Mod

UPDATED FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH MW5 1. 0. 227

What does this mod do?

This mod increases the velocities of Autocannons, PPCs, Gauss Rifles, and LRMs to more accurately represent real-world weapon velocities. A new base velocity was applied to each of these weapons, then modified according to weapon tier. There are two versions to choose from (autocannon velocities differ, but the rest of the velocities are the same between mods):

  • []128mm: This version uses the 128mm Pak 44 muzzle velocity (950 m/s) as the base velocity for the AC/20, which is then scaled upwards for the other Autocannons.

    []203mm: This version uses the slower 203mm M110 Howitzer muzzle velocity (700 m/s) as the base velocity for the AC/20, which is then scaled upwards for the other Autocannons.

    128mm Autocannon Velocities

    • []AC/2: Base projectile velocity increased from 1200 m/s to 1500 m/s

      []UAC/5: Base projectile velocity increased from 1200 m/s to 1500 m/s

      []AC/5: Base projectile velocity increased from 950 m/s to 1300 m/s

      []LBX AC/10: Base projectile velocity increased from 800 m/s to 1300 m/s

      []LBX AC/10 SLD: Base projectile velocity increased from 800 m/s to 1300 m/s

      []AC/10: Base projectile velocity increased from 600 m/s to 1100 m/s

      []AC/20: Base projectile velocity increased from 400 m/s to 950 m/s

    203mm Autocannon Velocities

    • []AC/2: Base projectile velocity increased from 1200 m/s to 1300 m/s

      []UAC/5: Base projectile velocity increased from 1200 m/s to 1300 m/s

      []AC/20: Base projectile velocity increased from 400 m/s to 700 m/s

    Gauss Rifles

    • []Base projectile velocity increased from 1750 m/s to 2500 m/s

    Missiles

    • []LRMs: Base projectile velocity increased from 200 m/s to 250 m/s

    PPCs

    • []Regular: Base projectile velocity increased from 1040 m/s to 2000 m/s

      Lightning PPCs (optional file)

      • []Regular: Base projectile velocity increased from 1040 m/s to 4000 m/s

        []ER: Base projectile velocity increased from 1646 m/s to 4500 m

      Why these velocities?

      Battletech lore is very sparse regarding information on projectile velocities. I decided to keep the theme of the AC/20 being the slowest weapon and did some resear
