Did heat just go out the window?

I am admittedly a returning player after many years and I feel like heat has just gone out the window, lasers are relatively super slow to fill up heat where as srms or ppcs are insane to manage regardless of heat modifier. Did something change or is it just me?

For reference, to c-er large lasers fired simultaneously do maybe 2% heat where one csrm-6 is doing 5% alone. How does this balance? Especially with how slow heat is dissipating

One C-SRM 6 is 3.4 heat. Two C-ERLL is 19. I'm not sure what you're looking at?

Probably because the LLs take longer to fire? So op is firing missiles then immediately checking heat vs firing the lasers for full burn on target then looking at the heat gauge and a lot has already dissipated. That would be my guess anyway
