I got the free new Atlas, but I find something strange about it. It comes with a default LRM20, but the largest LRM tube slot it has is 10 tubes... Seems strange and a little off to me. Shouldn't at least one missile slot be at 20 tube count, so the Atlas can shoot all 20 LRMs in one volley like it should in it's stock configuration?
I know it's a small thing, but it's often the details that can make a large difference.

It's probably based on battletech fluff but it seems arbitrary with ravens sporting 20-tube launchers nowadays...

The Atlas' LRM-20 is explained in the fluff as having a 10-tube launcher that can rapidly cycle and throw out two volleys of ten missiles, before having to reload completely. Hence why in MWO the AS7 has a 10-tube maximum.

What fluff I saw (forgot the source) said 4 volleys of 5 each.
(IE the hip launcher on the one model)
