Hello!

This is a quick post asking which mech has the tightest cluster of SRM's.
What I mean by this is the distance between the launchers in-game, which determines a bit of the spread of the missles. On the catapult A1 for example, 3x SRM-6's end up on the side, bottom, and middle of the launcher, pretty far apart.

Which mech's have the most tight cluster?

It might be the griffin 3M because it has 4 missile hard-points in the right torso.

The Awesome 8V can mount up to 3 SRM 6's with Artemis in the right torso. While the Griffin listed earlier packs more in one area, I'm not sure if there's anything else near the 8V's tonnage that has similar abilities.

Since Awesome's have not yet had their geometry update, they all technically launch from around the same point. Even with the geometry pass update, the launchers will still probably be right next to each other on the right torso (vs. being scattered around in launchers on the shoulders, torso, hip, etc.) so you'll probably still get a good blast from it.

The Centurion A and AH (both 3xLT), and the Shadowhawk 2K (3xRT) all offer tightly packed and high mounted launchers.

For Assaults, the Zeus 6T (3xRA) offers a fantastic cluster of tubes. The King Crab 0000 (4xLT) and 000B (3xLT) also have good launcher clusters, all high left shoulder tubes... though they don't deliver quite as nice of groupings as the Zeus does.

Also remember that different SRM launchers have different spread ratings with the SRM6 having the widest spread and SRM2 being tighter.

If I'm remembering correctly :

SRM6 = 6 meters
SRM4 = 5.2 meters
SRM2 = 4.8 meters

And then of course artemis tightens it up by 33%.

Absolute best I've seen: Centurions A and AH, and HBK-4J. Griffins and Shadowhawks are decent too.

Cents let you run 3x ASRM4s to still get 12 missiles per volley, with a much tighter grouping than anything using 6s.

The QKD-4G has the best missile spread reduction quirk at 10%, so 2xSRM4+A on a 4G might have the tightest spread in the game, but it's only 8 missiles.

this is absolutely true. 3xSRM6+artimas is one hella right hook.
