Greetings

The minimum range weapons of IS all deal damage inside minimum range: it's just more-difficult/less-damage-on-average on each hit.

So the LRM damage reduction seen on clans should be the IS LRM mechanic!

And PPCs should deal up to half damage when firing point-blank.

And AC2/AC5 should deal less damage up close.

And Clan LRMs deal full damage in all ranges! Why on Earth would clan LRM deal less damage up close?

These are the ones I remember, there may be others. But IS weapons sure deal damage point blank!

Thanks

LRMs - yes*
PPCs - yes

*Yes however the missile damage should be reduced.

PPC is that min just means their accuracy is impaired not that it needs time to 'arm' as it has already armed and waiting to be fired.

Clan LRMs don't need arming time which is why they are not hampered like the IS counter part is and the C LRMs shouldn't have any negative effects as it has no min range.

now had the LRMs not have min range than no damage reduction should have happened.
