I have noticed that LRM's with the new pathing tend to not spread damage. I have watched 2 stalkers getting center cored by LRM's. They need to fix this as we are back at LRM Warrior online.

This is only with Artemis I think.

If you're going to the trouble to maintain LOS and a TAG on a person, you kind of deserve to have a nice tight spread on your missiles... You know, because it takes so damn long for them to hit, you're really leaving yourself open for attack during this whole process...

Can you please elaborate on this? What I'm wondering is if you have to maintain L.O.S.? What if you loose L.O.S. while the missiles are in flight? What if you loose and regain L.O.S. while they are in flight? What if you launch without L.O.S and then obtain while in flight?

Missile Warrior is back they wouldn't try to kill there own game 2 in a single year. If that's the case this game is doomed.

Please make your post readable.

This happened before if you used Artemis and Tag. For months now...

Yes, that training map is great for testing imbalances and those 1-shots on Cicadas make you wonder... altough, let's face it... you can't hit a moving Cicada anyway and the one that stops is usually dead anyway.

I thought ECM was OP? I guess everything is OP now. Oh wait, that would mean it was balanced...

According to BattleTech, the Artemis Guidance System uses a microwave-band laser to assist with targeting, so the effect of Artemis is only active while you have direct Line of Sight on your target (i.e. if a hill gets in the way, your missiles will cluster as if you didn't have Artemis installed until you regain LOS, then your missiles will cluster back-up to their Artemis-enhanced state).

Thanks for the info.

Holy ****. You get melted if you stand out in the open for LRMs? Call the press...

Man now I'm not sure what to run now tonight: The new Cicada X5 hero, My Atlas RS with Artemis LRMs and TAG, or Artemis A1 with LRMs and SRMs. Decisions...
