After the catapult "ear" visual loadout change I had expected the missle racks that are not behind the missle door to fire without a delay, but this is not the case. When I fire the SRM6 packs that are on the outside of my C4s ears the SRMs don't fire until the missle door opens. This is rather absurd as the SRMs are not even behind the door, only my LRM 15s are. I thought the visual change was cool because I would be able to run around with the missle door closed and forego the extra risk of a critical hit you get with the doors open, but still be able to 'instant' fire my srms up close. But no dice. Is this working as intended, or unintentional?

They only did an "art-upgrade", they probably didn't think about updating the functionality of the doors... so your 'mech works still the exact same as before, it just looks different.

Supposedly the hit boxes weren't even changed (can't confirm), so you're not really any easier to hit.

Hi there Black Knight,

I was not able to reproduce this issue on my end. The next time you get this issue, could you perhaps film it, and send a ticket to support with that video, your dxdiag, pc specs and a description of your issue? We'll investigate this right away! Thanks!

I don't have recording software, but I can try and download something to record video.

My problem with the LRMs on Catapults is much different than the doors. I don't use SRMs, ever, but I have noticed that there is a delay in firing, whether the doors are open or closed.
