What is it with people and an infatuation for auto-aim weaponry.

Sooo now the Clan Streaks has been "normalised" with normal SRMs in terms of damage, heat can you also normalise the cooldown PGI? It already weighs twice as much as a normal SRM and weighs even MORE than an LRM.

It absolutely does not make sense for a C-SSRM6 to take as long as 7s (before any cooldown penalties) to cooldown - it does nothing but hurt brawling mechs who are taking 3-4 C-SSRM6s.

This game is full arbitrary balancing mechanics which is total nonsense - and the cooldown is made even worse by additional penalties when you are putting it on the TBR-S.

In the time it takes to cooldown I could fire off 3-4 shots of ERLL/ERML combined - hello PGI?

Dont take Streaks then take SRM's. They are far better for brawling anyway.

Streaks have a 360m range which personally i think makes the cooldown fair. Stop wanting everything.

You cant even brawl properly with streaks, because you have to look at them while you get a lock. You shouldnt be looking at someone in a brawl except when you are firing......

Because they don't want to L2P? Or so I think the accusations would boil down to. I don't care, unless I'm in a Kit Fox or a Locust, SSRMs aren't (overly) scary to me.

The long cooldown is one of the things PGI got right in terms of Clan balance.

[AssaultPig]

it's almost as though the long cooldown is a big part of the way that clan SSRMs were balanced against their IS counterparts!

2xCSSRM6 and 4xSSRM2 will both fire 24 missiles in ~7s (one recycle for the clan SSRM, two cycles for the IS SSRMs.) The IS version is a bit hotter, but has the benefit of more consistent damage.

Clan streaks are actually a lot better balanced than I thought they'd be.
