Thermal cascade cannons not useful anymore?

[DiKlein]

I tried to build a ship to melt my enemy inside his shields. I'm using 3 fixes cannons 1x3 2x2 with rapid-fire grade 2 and thermal cascade but I can't create more then 98% heat on Enemy ships but it takes only one shoot to rise the heat from around 40 to 97. I tested it on different ships. Is it a build problem or just not working anymore?

I thought they nerfed this a long time ago. Like with High Yield shell.

So my enemy have to shoot or boost to rise his own heat to go over 100. Mhhh it could still work. I'll give a try.

Thermal cascade is more along the lines of a pvp weapon, better suited against players rather than npcs. It's useful against shield tanks with very high heat builds, rail gun builds among others. Specifically, it'll help roast modules if the opponent fires back with high heat generating weapons and forces him to pay very close attention to his heat; which means he won't be shooting back as often

Thats the plan behind my build. It's not for pve.
