I think it would be fun to shoot down missiles, and lbx would be similar to ams.

Here's a thought.

"The anti-missile system cannot shoot down missiles aimed at any other target."
I like that thought

Yeah, we definetely need more dumb..ks who will play "support" with AMS and shooting missiles with their primary weapons ))).

I'm pretty sure the reason this isn't in the game is because people would be shooting down their own missiles on accident. I remember you used to be able to shoot AC shells (pre-Clan). I don't know how many of my AC/20 shells I accidently shot with my own lasers in my Jaeger back then. Might have been a bug back then too, but same concept applies here. Too many people would complain they were shooting their own missiles down while firing alphas. Regardless of it being simple enough to map lasers seperate from missiles and shoot lasers first... people would still complain.

assuming said missiles are initially fired from over 200 meters away from the (more-or-less stationary) AMS platform and the AMS platform has LOS to the missiles from the moment they cross the 200-meter threshold.

It'd be so nice if AMS in MWO only fired when it had LOS to the missiles... then maybe I'd stop shooting mountains and ceilings and buildings with my AMS.

The thing is, you don't shoot montains and ceilings and buildings with AMS. You shoot through mountains, ceilings and buildings.

i like the Idea as long it's not the best Idea. as it would be better to let an ams take care of it. iIf that makes sense

A medium mech shield +2 vs missiles would be cool
