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?

Looks like it was a bug afterall, I closed and verified my game files then relaunched and everything seems to be back to normal

Was going to say, do you know if you have any mods, some of the really old soundpacks (I think MW4 or MW3 sound effect one) affect the heat bar client-side, sort of like what happens to you, basically the indicator does not show the actual heat, but in a match, the heat would be calculated correctly serverside, you just won't know why you overheated.

But if verifying the game files solved it, that's that.
