Question On Ams
#1

Is 2000 AMS ammo supposed to aim for 2000 LRMs? As in if the enemy has less than 2000 LRMs ammo, I should not run out of AMS.
OR is it supposed to shoot down 2000 LRMs? As in stopping 2000 LRMs from hitting me, out of the whole volleys.

Increase in tagging and narcing has increased LRM usage, so that may be part of the issue.
AMS module upgrades increase the rate and usage of AMS, so that may be part of the issue.
Be aware, you can now shut your AMS off using the `/~ key, so when underground or in places you don't want it to fire, you can turn it off to save ammo. Just remember to turn it back on

1 ton of AMS ammo is a joke,2 tons may be good somethimes rarely usualy its gone within 3-4 minutes of match.
Only way is to be selfish and disable AMS until U self getin lurmed

as for how many missile do AMS shoot down pr ton of ammo? roughly one ton of LRM = 1 ton of AMS, but take into consideration you rarely will kill the entire swarm/cloud/stream, so one ton of AMS usually takes 3 tons of LRM to spend while a third of those missile will be shot down.
These are rough numbers from a KFX 3xAMS Umbrella pilot who have spent entire matches doing nothing but intercept missile trails.

shoot as many rounds possible to hit as many rockets as possible.. for sure some will come through.
no single AMS round will bring down an opposide single rocket.

You need 9 or 18 shots per missile to destroy it, this link might be quite old use it as reference, not sure if it is still valid http://mwo.gamepedia..._Missile_System
