Be prepared to fight in the shade as the Lrm will blot out the sun. Get you tags, Ams, Ecm, and Lrm boat hunters ready. Even if the Lrm speed boost is balanced everyone will want to try Lrm again.

My ECM Raven says bring it on!

So, predictions include the 4th lurmageddon, or balanced LRMs.

I hope they do something to SRMs at the same time...flight speed increase all across the board would be nice.

Awesome!!!

I'll give them a shot.

I'm more interested in whether the new AMS adversely affects SRM's and Streaks.

If it discourages single-firing solely for shake, sparing any changes to missile effects themselves, I approve.

I'm mostly worried about regular SRM's at this point.

They do not need another indirect nerf.

Just what the game needs; encouragement to use the most obnoxious weapon in existence and the possibility of an indirect nerf to an already crippled weapon system.

Seems like par for the course.

At least it won't be pin point damage! Thats gotta count for something!

I was just in a pug match last night on Forest Colony where i spotted a LRM70 Stalker and a LRM30 Atlas (which I suspect were working in a team as their coordination was pretty good working from the backfield where you couldn't get at them). If you were in anything that traveled slower than 80kph you could forget about dashing from one piece of cover to another, you'd never make it. You were stuck where you were at.

In 12 mans when you can ensure you have sufficient ECM/AMS/ movement coordination then LRMs arent that big of a devil. In pug matches though? Holy f***. Mind you I'm not talking about a single 20-30 LRM boat. That's fine. But when you are getting into the HUNDREDS per volley that's getting a bit silly. And that's now. I can't imagine what it would be like in pug-land if they buff LRMs. All can say is thank goodness for my CDA-3M.

So, someone want to let me in on the secret?

Not from the matches today... wall to wall DDC's, meds with extra LRM 5's, lights (mainly firestarters, ecm ravens, ecm spiders) and CTF-3D's.

Such an improvement.... not.

LRM speed increase with the patch, plus Victor/Highlander nerfs.

one way or another you will be rained on. be it convergent damage or rain drops of death. you cannot eat your cake and have it too. Which way do you prefer to die?

I LOVE the use of the 300 picture! Good job!
