I have seen this pop up in a few threads, but outside of "broke" I can't figure out what is up.. Are they? are they broke for certain players and not others? Did they just break like this week?

I have been playing a raven 3L with dual SRM4's, and a pair of ML's. I have been getting 300-500 in good matches, but i have gotten 800+ in great ones. I have really noticed anything broken.. any idea what gives?

I have srms on a couple commandos and the Anansi and haven't noticed this but, like you, I have seen this on the forums a couple times recently. I have decent ping though (80's most of the time) so that could explain it perhaps?

SRMs have pretty reliable from my end. Not just shooting them either, they've been stubbornly reliable when I'm getting hit by them too.

Yea i was wondering that too.. I have really low ping 20-30 most of the time.. A few of the posts i read also mentioned high ping.. So maybe that is it..

My ping hovers around 28 and I see no problems with SRMs. has to be a high ping issue and the HSR maybe?

SRMs were broken for about two years, and relatively recently the "buckton fix" repaired the issue related to explosions per frame allowing SRMs to work as intended.

Indeed, but since then (starting this week actually) I've seen people posting "they're broken again" and I'm not sure where the rationale is from that.

WHAT?!? SRMS ARE BROKEN? NOES!!!

oh...they're not? I haven't run srms this week but from previous weeks' games my srm stormcrow has gotten 300+ dmg regularly so they seem ok?

[Satan n stuff]

Haven't noticed anything broken about them, my ping is usually around 90.

[3xnihilo]

I just had a 4 kill 300+ damage game in a commando 2d and the srms were definitely working for me

Srm hit detection is broken afaik. Thats why their damage has been risen as a workaround. Thats the last info i got.

While maybe a tad confusingly written that link actually says they've fixed SRM hit detection, and because of that you'll be able to do more damage with them. Hurrah for ambigious English language?

My Hunchback SP has been doing perfectly fine with the 2 SRM6 packs. *shrug*

Few sec ago got a game piloting CN9-A/C/ with 3xSRM4+artemis. Faced 3 mechs - raven with no armor on side torso and other armor as well colored yellow. cored to orange state GRF-1E and cored to yellow state MLX. In close combat i did 5 slavos. At 10m disatnce 2 salvo eat MXL - no result. Then at 20m 2 salvo eat GRF - same ****. 1 salvo on raven - it didnt even lose some armor! Yea, maybe im blind, mybe i got high /130-150/ ping but that's not my 1st fight when i see it - look like smth happend with hit registration after patch.

I've noticed sometimes when I shoot my 3 SRM 6's I get no hit registered.
