I know that the clan LRMS have a minimum range now. Are they going to keep it this way or are they going to take the minimum range away? Either wway I am fine with it.

[Tovran]

They said they were working on removing it.

They said they didn't get a chance to finish the lrm damage under 180 scale they were working on and that is should be in next patch.

Min range will be removed and they will ramp up in damage from 0 at 0m to full damage at 180m, but the increase is not linear and they will do practically no damage under around 100m and then it ramps up slowly. So still not really worth using under maybe 150m.

They are working on an in-between solution where it has a kind of "reverse falloff" mechanic under 180m....PGI says they want the missiles to do partial damage, with the LRMs doing little to no damage inside of 90m, but then ramping up in damage as they get back toward full damage at180m.

It sounds cool, and I can't wait for them to implement it- but I can't help but wonder if given the state of LRMs in general (Y'know, that thing where they constantly add more and more ways to counter LRMs, even though many pilots have long since given up flying LRM boats...so that when you watch tournaments you only see zerg rush teams with virtually no mech variety or strategic variety?) if they shouldn't just allow C-LRMS to have no minimum.
