4 Days to go, Phoenix gets a nerf.

I submitted EBR-174351 about this

From what I can tell as little more than an armchair dev, there are now TWO RoF bonuses that the siege module is supposed to apply to rapid torpedos.

The first, a -80% RoF bonus to all XL Launchers was already being applied. The 2nd is the new -50% RoF Bonus to Rapid Torpedo Launchers, which is NOT being applied.

If you pay attention to the RoF numbers for in and out of siege mode, you can do the math yourself and find that the in-siege mode RoF are 20% of the out-of-siege mode RoF. It should be 10%.

One thing they *could* do if they can't get the bonuses to stack properly (which, considering I compared the same HAW Nag fit on TQ and SiSi and still managed to lose ~10-15% DPS, seems likely that the regular HAW weapon bonuses aren't stacking properly either) is add a specific damage/RoF bonus to HAW weapons, and then limit the currently-existing damage/RoF bonus to the other XL weapons.
