So to day, I load up my Heavy Metal ( http://mwo.smurfy-ne...82dd123e008715f ) and I noticed when I go to plug some smuck with my ASRM 6's, one of the tubes is fireing in single fire, like it's out of the Raven 3L's NARC tube; even though the mechlab shows 2 racks of six.

I'm like on my way out the door to work, so not enough time to do more testing, so I'm putting this up to see if anyone else has seen this. Is it just the HM? I think I saw a 732 today with the same thing.

PGI! I spent like 50$ on this mech. FIX IT!

shameless bump. nobody's seen highlandets shooting srms 1 at a time?

[Typatty]

I don't think anyone uses SRMs on a heavy metal.

I like your build though, it's really nice.

[MacKoga]

At this point, if it's not working correctly, then I'd rather my 733C was fully bugged on the SRMs. So I could get in close, and have a 100% uninterrupted cycle of 3 X 1x6 SRM stream, making more of a mess than a battery of ac/2s or ac/5s.

Nice build.

My Build. Same problem, currently can't use my favorite mech. This is actually a pretty serious issue.
PGI please fix this.

Oh and its not just the Heavy Metal either. I have the same problem on my 733C.

Same here.
One fires normally, the other one fires them one at a time.

[Shadey99]

I brought it up yesterday in the Victor thread about the same sort of issue: http://mwomercs.com/...srm-port-issue/

At the time I thought it fired in 2s, but going back to check it is actually firing 6+1+1+1+1+1+1, which is silly for a mech with 30 lrm tubes in the same torso.

[Yiazmat]

Yeah, this needs to go. Fast.

It's almost like PGI doesn't like brawling and forces us to snipe.... anyone else feeling this? =p

[Cylian]

Well, tell their support about it.

My 733C has the same issue. One of the launchers is firing srm missiles single file instead of in a cluster.

[J0anna]

Same issue, my favorite mech is unplayable right now. Hopefully it gets fixed before the month is out.

[Cadodd]

733P got the same bug, sucks if you can only use 2 of 3 SRM6

Have you thought about dropping the SRM's or LRM's altogether for .... wait for it ... some PPCs?

My 733C runs 2 PPCs, 2 LL, and 3 SRM6...
My 733P runs 2 PPCs, 3 SRM6, and an AC20...
My HM runs 2 ER PPC and a Gauss, making it my only none SRM variant...

However... all 3 run PPCs and 2 run 3xSRM6... I think I've filled my PPC quota...

I pull 1000+ games with 5-8 kills in this thing all the time.. Take your PPC's and go straight to hell. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 c-bills. FIX MY SRM TUBE!

[Spookyshoes]

Noticed it as well on my Heavy Metal.

Running this build.

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ee7aa897cf685a9

4 go off and then 1+1+1+1

[Mech Wrench]

I also own an HM and would like to I is why this hasn't been dealt with! We had a patch today!!! (Bump*)

[Zakie Chan]

Narc tube? Whats standard loadout?

[Demos]

OP: I have a similar build. Had also the same problem, but as soon as I replaced one SRM6 with a SRM4, it fires all ten missiles in one salvo again.

[Anjian]

This definitely needs to be fixed. On the other hand, I have learned to use the single tube quite effectively, as I begin to notice targets are dying more from my Heavy Metal's SRM fire than let's say, from my 732 or 733C, which are both packing 3 SRM6s. You see, unlike the full SRM splat, you can actually adjust the firing stream towards the target's torso. The other hidden advantage is that all the missiles can be made to hit the same spot if the target is slow or stationary, like another big assault. That can often just kill the target period. It also has a terrifying psychological effect, the target is subjected for a longer time period from the special effects from that stream of missiles.
