Some people have been making the claim that SRM is OP.

Because of that I am curious about how successful are you in hitting people with SRMs.

Just go to your profile -> stats -> weapon stats
( https://mwomercs.com...ats?type=weapon )
Check and post your SRM Accuracy here ^^.

So, what do you think, is it even worth it based on the hit percentage ?

I'm terrible aiming with SRMs. I don't even have to look to know it's really bad.

That said, I'm sure it's a practice issue... to date, I haven't used them very much. I love me some ACs, Energy wpns, and occasionally LRMs still, though.

[Thorqemada]

IS SRM (have never used CSRM):

SRM2 = 45%
SRM4 = 45%
SRM6 = 43%
ASRM2= 62%
ASRM4= 46%
ASRM6= 43%
SSRM2= 69%

SRM4 be pretty efficient and should be used without Artemis.

PS: Ping is 110 to 120 since the "Server Move" - it was 135 to 150 b4 that.

Interesting.... I use SRM4s all the time, and it shows.

SRM2 = 47.7%
SRM4 = 51.8%
SRM6 = 40.3%
ASRM4 = 40.1%
ASRM6 = 43.6%
SSRM2 = 76.3%

The crappy ASRM4 is from only being used on a assault, while the normal SRM4 is on my Commando. Feeling pretty good about myself right now.

edit: ping pretty consistently mid-80s

Mine only varies slightly with 47% (ASRM2) at worst and 53% at best (ASRM4).
It's funny that ASRM2 is so low when my SRM2 has 52% accuracy. I think it's mostly because I haven't run many games with it.

Streak SRM-2: 68.06%

SRM-6: 42.58%

SRM-2+A: 32.93%

SRM-6+A: 40.00% <--This one is funny.

Here's the full stat line.

Now if that isn't something.

Ping 60 to 120 depending on the day.

[Davers]

At first I thought I had a godlike SRM6 percentage, then I noticed I only had 5 drops using it….

[MerryIguana]

SRM4 54.11%
SRM6 46.97
SRM2 55.00
ASRM6 52.70
C-ASRM6 54.05

I like to brawl

[MattEdge]

SRM2 = 49.04%
SRM4 = 47.02%
SRM6 = 46.68%

ASRM2 = 55.43%
ASRM4 = 51.99%
ASRM6 = 55.47%

SSRM2 = 67.58%

c-ASRM4 = 50.60%
c-ASRM6 = 41.78%

[Pjwned]

SRM2=51.92%
SRM4=50.83%
SRM6=47.23%

A bit better than I thought it would be actually because I at least partially miss plenty of shots, over 13k missiles fired combined from each launcher size too so decent sample size.

Haven't really played with ASRM at all (yet) so nothing of note for those stats.

[Asyres]

IS SRM4: 49%
IS SRM6: 48%
IS SRM4+A: 49%
IS SRM6+A: 51%

CSRM4: 53%
CSRM6: 51%
CSRM6+A: 61%

As for whether it's worth it, it's one of the few heat efficient short range weapons that clan players have access to. Combine that with how light they are, and it starts to look pretty attractive.

[Gaius Cavadus]

I'm hovering at ~50% for all sizes with and without artemis.

[LT. HARDCASE]

IS:
SRM2: 55.13%
SRM4: 45.05%
SRM6: 46.21%
SSRM2: 62.34%

SRM 6+A: 46.16%

Clan:
C-SRM4: 40.96%
C-SRM6: 43.44%
C-SRM4+A: 49.48%
C-SRM6+A: 48.20%
C-SSRM2: 62.04%
C-SSRM4: 72.15%
C-SSRM6: 77.02%

Scrublord confirmed.

p.s. total missiles fired = 167,830

[Divine Retribution]

SRM2 - 53%
SRM4 - 57%
SRM6 - 54%
SSRM2 - 78%
ASRM4 - 58%
ASRM6 - 57%

CSRM4 - 54%
CSRM6 - 50%
ACSRM4 - 68%
ACSRM6 - 56%
CSSRM4 - 80%
CSSRM6 - 84%

Noticed higher % with larger streak packs, so I'm guessing it just means a smaller % are shot down by ams before impact.

Seems like SRMs are worth it given the tonnage investment, provided you are mostly intact by the time you get close enough to use them. That is unless your target gets face full of SRMs and HSR determines that it never really happened (no damage registration).

SRMs don't need a nerf. The issue I've seen most complain about is the mech(s) best able to boat them. Clan XL, arguably broken hit boxes, and packing 24 - 30 ASRMs for only 10 - 12.5 tons + ammo. Some players that complain about SRMs point to the TWolf and SCrow without realizing it's the chassis. Not many complaints about splat Summoners or the venerable Splatcat. Barely ever see the last two. If it were an SRM problem you would see more in games and more complaints about them.

[Jaeger Gonzo]

What they need is total rebuild from shorten version of MRM in to really SRM.

[Roadkill]

I don't use them that often, so don't have stats for all of the launchers.

Streak SRM-2 = 62%
SRM-4+A = 58%
SRM-6 = 56%

Clan SRM-6 = 48%

My lone Clan SRM Mech is my Ice Ferret which carries a single launcher. I assume its accuracy is lower because I use the weapon more as a distraction while on the move than as an actual damage dealer.

[LordKnightFandragon]

I cant hit **** with SRMs, they move to damn slow, having to put that much lead on a target is just....stupid.....nothing should move that damn slow.....

[Alistair Winter]

It'd be interesting to see people's ping here.

My average is 50% for SRM2, SRM4, SRM4+A and 60% for SRM6, SRM6+A. My ping is 130-150

[Darlith]

SRM 2 - 57.57% - 2,944 shots
SRM 4 - 53.76% - 14,688 shots
SRM 6 - 45.71% - 8,628 shots

ASRM 2 - Never Used
ASRM 4 - 43.36% - 2,348 shots
ASRM 6 - 45.93% - 5,306 shots

Now these are a bit low because I am admittedly bad about not paying attention to distance to target sometimes, and leading lights proper. Especially with the tighter spreads on the ASRMs.

I also have the non-Artemis systems on more of my face hugger mechs so I miss less with them I think. Looking at my numbers I need to be more careful about when I take my shots I think.
