Whats your oppinion to this?
If MGs could kill LRMs if they spray a fog of metal in their way...

[Xendojo]

Awesome idea!!!!


+1 for this!!!

[veri745]

I would suggest the suggestion forum.

So should lasers. Of course you would need to do 1 damage to a missile to disable it.

Which would preclude the 0.4 DPS MG doing anything significant to missiles.

So there's another argument in favour of buffing the MG's damage.

Yes, let's program teeny little hitboxes onto every LRM, and track the trajectory of every single bullet.

This would be awesome, if less than pragmatic. I say they just fix LRMs.

I'm pretty sure this is more of a buff MGs type thread, and splash damage bug aside missiles are fine if anything non boated missiles need some love

[DegeneratePervert]

Well, the AMS IS a machine gun. I think that personally it would add a lot of utility to the Jagermech DD. 2x Gauss, 4x MG? Yes please.

[Jabilo]

great idea!

[Sug]

This idea has been proposed several times and each time it was shot down like a machine gun shooting down LRMs.

It's funny, isn't it, that the AMS has a higher DPS than the MG.

No, hang on, I take that back. It's actually sad.

Could be usefull, cuz there is no way to build DD with all 6 balistics filed....unless you slap in some MG(trol hexa ac6 are bad), and that could provide utility.

[Und3rSc0re]

I want a buff to ams ai a bit, in a group of ams mechs it should handle tons of lrms but i have seen it target the same missile as other ams making it useless with multiples around, it also shoots right into cover wasting ammo.

Uh I am pretty sure that is how AMS works.

Wouldn't work

Lrms have 1 hp. and travel 100ms.

Mgs do 0.4 damage per second and have a 90m range

Mgs don't do enough damage to shoot down even one missile whilst they are in range.

Ams would be a more effective anti mech weapon than mgs as well with 5x the damage at 2.2X the range.

[Anastasius]

AMS.............................................................

[AC]

Idea: MG should actually be able to damage mechs

Oh god.

Ok, PGI no need to fix MG's just switch MG's for AMS so i can do some damage with my light ballistic mechs.

Or you know, buff MG damage.

[Mercules]

Um.... so you guys don't know you can actually shoot down missiles already? Sweep a bunch of lasers through incoming missiles on a mech with no AMS sometime.

You can't with a MG though, it doesn't have enough DPS! And even if the OP didn't mean it as such, this thread has now been hijacked in the name of the Buff The MG Now Brigade (BTMGNB), and we won't release the hostages until our demands are met!

Or until our brothers in the Oh Come On Buff The MG Already Brigade (OCOBTMGAB) are released from their wrongful captivity!

Or we grow bored.

One of those.
