I don't know if this only has to do with this recent patch, but I am getting terrible hit detection with my SRM's. I have always been a SRM brawler and as of late, its been very painful to see enemy mechs get away without a scratch from a SRM 22 Kintaro with artemis. As it stands, poptarts are obviously the meta right now, but that may be in part to a hit detection problem with what was once one of any brawler's hardest-hitting weapons.

i totaly ok with you, when can we expected a fix for SRM'S plz ?

[Willard Phule]

Evidently, they just did that recently.

I've seen them "hit or miss" since the recent patch. When they're on, they're ON. When they're off they're about what they were pre-patch. I'm guessing it's an HSR thing, but it's only a guess. When I use SRMs, I do better against other people from NA...we have similar pings. When I'm playing against EU or Oceanic players....it's a coin toss, normally on the "he wasn't really there" side.

hahahahhaha... your asking for a fix? they supposedly "fixed" them like a month ago yet i think they are more broken now..... maybe they can just fix MWO period?

[Willard Phule]

I'd much rather see them fix ANYTHING period. Pick something. Anything. I'd prefer the matchmaker be first on the list but, seriously, just pick ONE THING from the list of "gamebreaking items" that have been there since closed beta and freaking fix it. Fix it good. Show us what something groundbreaking that they planned to do a long time ago is supposed to look like when it's complete.

That's what I want.

Hey Stooge - seems to me that you haven't played for a year now (...or something like that...).

The hit detection for SRMs is catastrophic since months now. This has nothing to do with the last patch.
Maybe it got even worse with the patch 3 weeks ago, when the "explosion detection" has been moved from your computer to the server. But the hit detection is really bad since a very long time.

Can you remember seeing a Splash Cat on the battlefield during the last months ??
No ? -> you are right. And now guess why ?

Because you wont do any damage even when you hit the enemy !

Before the Splash Cat was a real killer in close combat. Now you do more damage when you fire a small laser.

But dont expect any change in the next months. Many other things have to be done.
Clan Mechs are coming and clan weapons are not balanced and hit boxes from the Clan Mechs have to be tuned until the end of the year. So, there is now time to do some other things.

My advise - dont use SRMs any more and try another setup of your mech.

They can't be "fixed" as long as there is no regional servers.

few year ago the SRM was Abused then we can kill and ATLAS in one strike... but we where on general server, why not yet ?

[Desintegrator]
