The Atlas K finally has a purpose too, though I think it would need 1 more AMS hardpoint.

There's never been a time where I've thought about ditching this game even during the PPC/AC meta. Now, after 3500 or so matches, this LRM (+ airstrike/arty) meta has almost ruined the game for me.

Everyone using LRMs, one tag, instant death. No counter? In any way? Perfect accuracy and non-canon.

Imbalanced and incorrect to the timeline.

Everyone isn't using LRMs, stfu already.

Pretty much everyone is using LRMS, so RamataKhan STFU, if you aren't playing to know.

If you can only lock on when you have line of sight, then they are balanced. This indirekt fire is what them make imbalanced.

Yeah, artillery has always been OP, let's pretend it doesn't exist :/

Meanwhile, in the real world, this happens:

“Although artillery is an indirect-fire weapon, at some point in combat, you may be called upon to engage an enemy tank or troops in the open,” said Staff Sgt. Anthony Parker, 11th Regiment Artillery Training School instructor, and judge for the competition. “If need be, they have to use the skills that we’ve taught them to destroy the enemy.”
