Yep. That will be nice for those times when you are in cover but your AMS is still buzzing away.

At first I didn't think it would be very useful but you guys bring up a good point, now we can save the AMS for when crossing open areas, very cool detail!

lol. There are two reasons I don't play MW, one is I just could not keep up with the updates, two I don't understand the language and am too old to learn a new one biggrin

It isn't hard Bisher, much like Navy ship or flight sim systems. AMS shoots down missiles.

Another good patch. Little details, but some we've wanted. I haven't carried AMS in a while, but I hated how it would give me away when trying to ambush someone.
on the other hand, sometimes I fire off LRMs to check for AMS to give someone away. I guess that might not work anymore. LOL

The cooldown module sounds like a must-have. Wish I had more GXP to unlock that.

I put a lvl 5 PPC cooldown module on my Blackjack Arrow and tried it. Of course I got Terra Therma but the increased rate of fire is noticeable. Obviously the heat goes up accordingly but with trigger discipline it could be a huge benefit.

Bisher, I seem to recall playing Chromehounds with you, it's very similar to that in terms of customization options. If you ever want to get on TS, I'd be happy to show you around.
