 ===HPPC===
 *The HPPC generates '''a lot''' of [[heat]], if one's [[asset]] has a temperature much exceeding 350° C, it will [[heat|overheat]] when the HPPC is fired. To avoid this, the pilot may use some [[coolant]]. Alternatively, if the asset has enough [[Heat Sinks]], is on a cold [[map]] with high heat conductivity, or is standing in water, then overheating might not cause very much damage to its heat sinks and it may be prudent to save the coolant for another time.

+*Like with all weapons capable of causing [[screenshake|screen shake]], it's often advantageous to chain fire the PPCs
 *Although often not too useful against BAs jump jetting in the air, the PPCs can be effective against BA on the ground, where the large splash radius helps hitting them. Even if the BA survives the hit, its HUD will be disabled for some time, seriously hampering the ability to fight.

 There are six different PPC weapons in MWLL varying in range, damage and [[heat]] output. In addition of damage done to hit component, the PPC bolts 'explode' in contact causing splash damage to all components inside the splash radius.
-The "standard" PPC is only used by [[Inner Sphere]] units and the Extended Range version differs from it only by having longer range and slightly increased heat output. The [[Clan]] ERPPC has the same range as its Inner Sphere counterpart, but does about 35% more damage in exhange for almost 70% more heat.

 The Heavy and Light PPC are only used by IS units. Heavy PPC has a slightly shorter range than the standard IS PPC, but is capable of dealing massive damage - twice that of a regular or Extended Range IS PPC. However, this is balanced out by the immense heat it generates, as well as having longer recharge time. The Light PPC is a smaller version of the standard PPC having a shorter 450 meter range while damage is about half of the PPC.

 The BA PPC can be carried by any [[BA|Battle Armor]] and is frequently used weapon of dedicated infantry players.
-In addition to simply dealing damage, PPCs are capable of causing screen shake, making it possible to throw off the enemy's aim with well-timed shots. Generally the heavier the PPC, the more shake it causes. the PPC ion bolts also cause EMP effect, which can disable target's [[night vision]], and also disable any attached [[NARC]] beacons. Because PPCs deal splash damage this EMP effect can be useful for disabling NARC beacons on yourself or friendly units by carefully applying the EMP splash to the NARCed unit, while dealing little other damage. NARC beacon will be disabled only if the splash damage reaches the Mech's center torso.
