reading about LRMs here on the forums and got home finally. Can't wait for this patch to finish so I can unleash LRM rain on some unlucky saps!

Have fun! ...but be aware that the Light pilots of the 'sphere are all rigged for anti-missile boat duty since it's suddenly less likely we're going to have to deal with someone who can chase us off at short range.

I plan on dusting off my striker Raven and doing my best Fiddlesticks impression (...I'm sorry, you can turn that off now) until the "zomgborken!" crowd goes back to their silly little meta.

Seriously, OP actual post is 2 sentences. Your desire to be the first one to be a troll/hardass has backfired in your face.

...which was the entire point, I assume.

Well done, Machida-san!

Damn I prepared a long "gtfo you won't be missed" post...

The direction this game is going is runing any chances for this game to become a highly competitive game. I don't blame you for quitting.

...and another successful troll!

This is entertaining. I wonder how many you'll get in 24 hours.

LRM accuracy up from 37% to 45%+ so far. I can see them dropping the speed but I'd like an option for low arc direct fire, as that's how I usually play my LRMs (250m-400m out).

For reference, this was my old LRM15 stat line (my most used LRM type): LRM 15 423 306,366 115,456 37.69% 1 day 17:20:17 117,386

Kinda strange how my LRM15 with Artemis was actually less accurate (once they started tracking it): LRM 15 + ARTEMIS 19 10,135 3,457 34.11% 02:14:28 3,882

Obligatory gifs...such a thing of beauty. Who actually pulls off the Karate Kid crane technique in the cage??? The Dragon...that's who...





First two games in the new patch were fairly successful...both were in a BLR-1S. May see a resurgence in AWE-9M/PBs and other fast brawly mechs. Got rushed by one and had no answer for it.

Those screen shots show just how useless lrms still are.

Nearly 1k damage and 2 kills at most? Less than 50% avg accuracy even with arty included?


I got 5 kills in my small laser medium a few days ago with barely 500 dmg. When I had 750dmg I had 7 kills.
I even did 6 kills in a small laser jenner. 4/5 in my cent with 450 dmg. So either lrms are still bad or Small
lasers need a HUGE nerf.

Hey, it was my first two games on the new patch and I ran out of ammo haha...give me some time and I'll prob break 1000.

I'm just curious to see what happens with LRMs in 12 mans.

I'd love to see screenshots of 40% or greater LRM accuracy from archived stats. 35%+ meant you were fairly decent with them.

[Kjudoon]

I don't know how you get such high hit percentages. I don't know anyone who pilots LRMs who can do that, and they ain't slouches either.

I have no screenshot but I was just in a match with the dominant LRM boat Stalker cracking 1039. It doesn't matter if you get the finishing blow, imo. The damage indicates you stripped a lot of those mechs down to toothpicks.
