15 days ago, i notice that Lrm Ammo was finishing early in the matches. I decided to count and noticed that everytime i shoot, I spend 74 ammo, but I only have 4 x 15 Lrm, so I fire 60 and spend 74. I search for a reason but I dont find. Someone know why ?

Stalker - 4 x 15Lrm Artemis.

And Yes, Im sure im not tapping twice.

Tks for Help

If I recall correctly, there may be an issue around this that is known. I suggest checking the known issues board, if it doesn't show up there, try submitting a support ticket.

Good luck with resolution.

Currently if you have a launcher with more tubes than the hardpoint can accommodate for then it will launch as many missiles as the hardpoint can accommodate for until the number of missiles from your launcher has been reached or exceeded instead of just the remaining number of missiles.
Example you're launching your LRM15s from a 6 tube hardpoint you'll get 3 volleys of 6 missiles (18 total) instead of a 6-6-3 sequence of volleys. If you're launching your LRM15s from a 10 tube hardpoint you'll get 2 volleys of 10s.
You can game the system a little by maximazing the number of "free" missiles (free in regards to actual equipment and heat) but the missiles do deplete your ammo and that's what you noticed.
This bug has been around for a bit but it's still not very well know throughout the community.

In other words, your missile launchers are firing more missiles than they're supposed to each shot, so you use up your ammo faster.

You're still SHOOTING it all off, no little gnomes come and steal it. You're just shooting it off faster than you should and facking the math all to hell.
