How is it I never seem to shake much unless it's a Streak I'm being cheeto'd with?

So effin' cheap …

It's because they're firing one of the streaks out of a narc port, so instead of taking 1 hit of 4 missiles, you take 1 of 3 and 1 of 1, making your screen shake twice as much.

Back when they were having issues with UAC-5s and screen shake they said they were going to tone down shake from missiles too. I don't know if it has been reduced from where it was then. The vision blocking explosions you get when your being hit by a chain fire streak boat does get kind of annoying.

Streak is only cheap on ECM mechs...useless on rest.

Could be worse, Streakpults used to chain-fire 6 of them at you, with higher shake.
All you could do was lock-on and aim at the center of the red square and watch the black smoke cover your windshield.

At least now they don't even hurt much, mainly they're just an impairment on your ability to fight back.

Missiles may have been nerfed, but I'd still like it if they'd stop coating the cockpit window with oil every time they hit.

I doesn't seem as though anything's changed with Them Crooked Cravens …

I hit a raven with 6 volleys of 2ERPPCs and 1 Gauss in the legs last night. I think his internals were yellow and he ran away.

You can say that I wasn't actually hitting or whatever but my ping is about 60. Only happens on raven 3Ls still.

I swear Raven 3Ls are now more difficult to kill after their hitbox "fix".

As for streaks, they seem just as overpowered and cheap as before. Funny how the whole missile adjustment thing started because people found out how broken streaks are.... now after the missile nerf, SRMs and LRMs are borderline useless but streaks remain as superpowered as ever.
