AMS increased by 30m
LRM speed increased by 50m/s

I dunno. From looking at this it would seem to indicate that AMS will actually shoot down fewer missiles per volley. Hope im wrong but time will tell.

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.

Someone will need to macro that when they NARC someone.

At most we are looking at less time for people to find cover.

Now look at the reload times and distance. Reload time of 3.25 seconds for LRM 5's the flight distance was 390m and changed to 568.75m. We can now engage better out to 600m instead of the 400 that so many of us liked with LRM's, with the same results, maybe.

With the speed change, how will this affect the flight path when firing under structures? I do this at close ranges, especially on Crimson straights.

The AMS buff may have a good effect at negating this, but also look at the pilot skills for AMS added with it. Just think of a jester, Locust, atlas and stalkers with two AMS with a level two AMS upgrade. Or for that matter a lance with 4 AMS working together. I avoided them before and now they will be more effective.

This will be real interesting tonight, LRM boats, NARC lights, TAG lights and every ECM mech people can throw out there.

Then the people running with fast mediums to ambush the LRM boats and lights.

The sheer number of people trying out the newly buffed Lurms will probably make it difficult to determine if this is another Lurmageddon episode or just a whole bunch of people experimenting.

For the record, I see LRMs blot out the sun once every 10 matches (not scientific/credible accounting).

This might make me go NARC on the Jenner-K.

Might be time to break out the ol' ALRM-75 Stalker 5M again, just for kicks & giggles.

I'm thinking you'll see a lot of Streaktaros and Streakhawks tonight, too, running defense for their LRM buddies.

[Nicholas Carlyle]

So? LRM craziness?

Pretty sure they blocked all those arrows in the movie.

I'm looking at the SRMs currently equipped to my Trebuchet. They suddenly look so absurd.

No, Sarah's mech won the day.... or was it my Jenner-K with the PPC. Either way...
