Cause it seems broken ...BAD. I have a Thunderbolt 9S with TWO AMS and missiles just keep slamming me left and right. Just now I got hit from 2 missile salvos and simply exploded...and I have no explodable ammo or Xl engine..wtf.

I love ham.

[Loc Nar]

No, it's still as delicious as ever.

As for your post AMS, does alot against chain fired LRMs but seems to do very little against big volleys.

And as for ham I had some yesterday and it seemed fine.

[Iqfish]

Hmmmm Ham...

If you have AMS, and you loaded ammo for it, you have exploding ammo in your 'mech. Also, keep in mind that AMS doesn't negate incoming fire, it shoots down a percentage of incoming fire. With 2 AMS units equipped you are twice as effective, but still not enough so to stop more than 10-15 missiles per salvo.

[Ghengis Cohen]

Agreed. AMS seems no more effective with dual AMS then it did with single. The LRM buff was a bit much if you ask me.

AMS ammo is only 20 damage, same as a gauss rifle, but 10% just like other ballistic ammo.

Each AMS takes down 6 or so missiles directed towards you, so you're only taking out at least 10. If an LRM50 volley hits you, you're still taking 44 damage.

I have to say I like your sig. Fusistance is retile...



AMS grouped together can thin out salvos though.

Ammo explosion damage is based on rounds remaining multiplied by damage per round. I could be wrong, but I believe that at 1000 rounds per ton, AMS ammo would do more than 20.

Best thread title all day.

My mistake, it's 24 damage for AMS ammo according to smurfy.

.024 damage per AMS round. Close enough.

Hams will be fixed in the upcoming lunch module.

Huh, whadyya know? I've never actually noticed that chart on smurfy before. I had considered that the damage was likely reduced by a significant margin from the damage the AMS did, as 3.5 damage per round seemed extreme, but I was unaware of how much. I must say that 0.024 seems a rather odd number to settle on.

You're statements have absolutely nothing to do with hams.
