Hit Detection fix and return of SRM finally?

Out of curiosity, how would you feel about a more predictable SRM spread? I'm a fan of the ripple fire that all hit a similar location, similar to how MWLL does it.

Although the old in and out spread would be welcome as well.

I'm not a fan of ripple fire for srms as you are more likely to localize damage without it. The old in and out spread forces you to maintain a certain distance in order to localize damage, so not really a fan of that either. It did look good though.

Good SRMs make me happy. I'm looking forward to this patch!

Will this fix also change the way LRMS and Streaks behave?

This must be a dream.
Someone pinch me.

Excellent, looking forward to it.

The SRM fix is live in the Clan PTS - and its freaking excellent - makes SRM's genuinely useful again. Formerly redundant SRM armed IS Lights/Mediums (Huggin, 4SP, Kintaro, etc) actually have half a chance in a brawl vs clan mechs, and actually earn thier dropweight for a change.

I'm usually scathing with the praise for PGI's team, but kudos to the foilks who discovered and subsequently fixed this long running issue. More of this kind of work please.

I still fill that SRMS need a little more punch, 2.5 damage is the sweet spot where they should be.

2.5 dmg/missile for IS and 2dmg/missile for Clans (for balance)?
