Already in game....

LRMs drop from 1.8 damage per missile to 0.7 damage per missile.
SRMs drop from 2.5 damage per missile to 1.5 damage per missile.

April 2 Removing Splash Damage....So unequip your confetti launchers.

Also April 2. Reducing Night and Heat Vision to 750 meters...So unequip those Heavy/Ammo requiring Ballistics.

Load up on Lasers and Cool Shots. Now Brawl like a "Real" Mech Warrior.

Side note ECM no longer "Require Equipment"

If I had to guess, and this is just a GUESS, but I'd say that they're not going to change anything.

They had originally stated that they wanted to remove splash from missiles until they could balance them better.

Then the **** hit the fan when the Jager was released. We had a night of nothing but LRM's.

The devs then hotfixed some pretty sweeping changes for LRM's, SRM's and SSRM's. Among other things they lowered the splash damage and radius.

So if I had to guess, then no, they're not going to do this on April 2nd. The changes they wanted to make have already been made.

I don't see how limited the special view modes to 750 meters is a "ballistics" thing. People shooting ER Large Laser and PPCs use that view mode as well. And will be equally affected.

[Lukoi Banacek]

thought they removed splash damage in a hotfix right after LRM/SRM damage went through the roof.

[NRP]

Nope. April 2 will be the continuation of Nerf Warrior Online.

No, splash is likely to be removed as planned, while damage is returned to normal (probably 2 for srms and 1 for LRMs). As they stated in the hotfix post, they tried just removing splash, but then they realized that nearly all missiles (LRMs/streaks (and possibly SRM spread I guess))were hitting dead center torso and that the splash damage was actually masking that effect.

They then stated that they need to fix the spread of LRMs before they can fix the damage totals, and doing so they kept slight splash in and reduced the damage.

Am I the only person who reads these things?

We had four nights of it, haha.

Anyway, the idea that removing the night and heat vision modes is going to torpedo ballistics is hilarious.

Ballistic and Missile state rewind?

[Kdogg788]

It helps by removing thermal as a default viewing mode. Thermal view should not allow you to see mechs 1400 meters out. With the exception of River City Night, and places in Frozen City, there's nothing stopping you from using your weapons as before.

Damage reduction is a temporary thing to fix everybody dying to missiles. It'll likely be raised back when splash is fixed.

There is no additional removal of splash damage. It has already been done.

Heat Vision probably needed to be toned down a little. You will still be able to us ballistics further than that not to mention it would have the same effect on lasers that it has on ballistics, and you don't really need to see the target to use LRMs > 750 the computer will target it.

[Redwo1f]

Reducing Thermal to 750m??? - that makes no sense. Should be able to pick up things on thermal well before you can make it out with the naked eye, just like real life. Maybe reduce the size of the signature if they feel it is a big problem (though I for one don't think it is).

ER Lasers and ER PPC are not Brawler weapons so I should have stated Sniper weapons.

But still The Advantage of AC2 and AC5 is long range offset by weight and Ammo

This thread is proof that no matter what they do someone will be there to ***** about it.

I don't know about you, but playing bluewarriors online is pretty terrible, and makes buying camo quite useless.

That is because we are a very passionate, but also a very diverse group.
