Word has it BV 3.0 is coming here soon, so that should fix all the issues of the previous two.

Where is this word?
Also, It can't. BV is an attempt to condense a multi-dimensional manifold into a line. There are going to be places where it breaks. But it will be interesting to see another attempt.

BV 3 has been a thing coming soon for over a decade now.

At adepticon they had a panel where they mentioned it. From what I've heard its mostly fixing BV of weapons like pulse lasers and MRMs that affect the to-hit roll, and MASC/superchargers. Dunno what else will change, but it sounds like its not a big overhaul, just a few tweaks.
Who knows when it will happen though.

The problem with pulse lasers is that the weapon BV equations are balanced on the low end of to hit numbers. And pulse gains most of its benefits on the high end.
Hopefully its a full rework of the weapons values and not just a haphazard patch. Those are a pain to model.

It should be balanced based on a standard 4 gunner. I mean, once you start lowering gunners BV means next to nothing as you're hitting everything that moves.

I think he's talking about modified to-hit numbers...a pulse making a to-hit of 5 a 3 is nice, but making an 11 a 9 is significant.
