HAs anyone noticed this or is it a bug? One of my missile slots on the treb launches srms one at a time. I can live with that , but Id like to know is this intended? can I adjust which slot does this? The new training grounds will be great for fine tuning this fella, Im just curious if its something thats gonna be fixed before I try and set up the mech to take advantage of this mechanic.
tnks.

One of the torso missile mounts is meant for the NARC, which tosses out one missile at a time.

So yes, it's intended. Other mechs have this quirk.

I think Smurfs has a little numbered indicator for the number of 'tubes' each missile mount has.

From what i understand of dev posts this will get fixed eventually by the modular wep system. (Swap weps around on a phracts arm to see what i mean). Till then all chassis are stuck with the varaint base wepons tube layout. Stick a streak/srm 2 in it or treat it like a laser and follow through with your targeting

That is the jello launcher. It vaults luv spam at your enemy.

If you look closely at the left torso you'll notice there is only one missile tube, unlike the right torso or left arm which have multiple tubes. The game models this pretty accurately. It also explains the quirky tubes on the Raven and other mechs also.

The new Cicada only has 2 tubes per hardpoint... That means no super SRM 6 shotguns... It'll fire in pairs, 3 times in a row per launcher.

For extra strength hilarity, stick an LRM20 in there and watch everyone on the other team panic.

Admittedly, someone in a Hunchback-4SP did this to me with large LRM launchers. I couldn't see him, but from the launch pattern of the LRM's, I thought he was a Stalker.

Raven 3L, Stalker 5M and that treb all come with NARC, so have a single tube.
