The Lt Interceptor and Interceptor has 450 ammo per rack, and has 2 gunmounts.

The hvy interceptor has 3 gunmounts, but still has 450 ammo...

Shouldn't the Heavy Interceptor have 50% more ammo (675 per rack for its extra gun) so that it doesnt run out faster than its weaker counterparts? Or was there a time when the heavy int did have more ammo for its 3rd gun before it got nerfed?

When you're at it, can we put booster2, 3 and heavy boost into exp?

hvy boost is used by adv figs only, not ints...

I dunno if I want more ammo on the heavy int, but there should be a progression. Less ammo for the lite one as well.

IF you want to perk the heavies (slight eyeroll) then maybe 400 / 450 / 500? That would balance the change a little by giving the light ints a smaller clip.

/edit

Honestly, I have no idea who would feel that a heavy int doesn't have enough ammo. :unsure:

If they had 675 ammo per clip, they would be capable of soloing more miners without reloading with even low KBs.

You seriously think that heavy ints need a perk? Really? The third gun allows you to do damage 50% faster, which is plenty of a perk over regular/light ints.

I hope at least the rest of this community recognized the irony in my post.
