I just finished a game in my lrm hunchy where I was seeing hits on the reticle nearly every volley I fired, I watched at least 6 volleys land on various types of mechs (not just arctic cheetah XD) and at the end of the match, I got 1 kill and 16 damage O.o with a ping of 62

what the hell?

[Gamuray]

I had some weird teleporting and 3 times my normal ping and some random overheat when I wasn't even shooting, so I'm not sure what's going on either

[nitra]

prevailing theory is. you should have aimed for the legs....

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

I can admit that sometimes I spew missiles not to hit the locked target but to get them to run (suppression ftw) but firing half my missiles and getting 16 damage is a bit off

Your mistake was using missiles. Who uses those? Such a gimped unreliable weapon system. One missile hits you'll get a hit marker while you think they all hit they didn't just the one before he made it into cover.

I don't know. All I know is that I just barreled though 6 assaults and heavies in a big fat Nova and survived just long enough to kill that pesky Arctic Cheetah I resolved to take down. It was so worth it. <maniacal >

I just saw someone do a drive by and kill 3 Mechs using only SRMs in quick succession.

Thats WHY I use them. I like a challenge

Seems like something is going on, had a game where ac/20s weren't registering even on stationary shutdown mechs, just had another game where a direwolf of all things teleported ~70 meters (through my mech as well) and a few other bits of random wierdness. I thought it was on my end and restarted/reboot router etc.

I was in that game in mah shiney new ACH. I had no problems registering LRM-5 x2 hits... But I was generally a heck of a lot closer than you. Like, full on Gump close with x4 ersl firing when I didnt have a lock.

Edit: at 200ish ping

What game? The game where I was firing dual lrm20 at the target?

[Afuldan McKronik]

I believe so, we were both chuckling at hunchie -j because it throws out any size lrms like they are lrm5s. I noticed the enemy team was sticking very close to cover, but not many missiles coming down at them. Maybe a lot hitting ams+ cover? Like i said, i had no problems in my ACH, but i was usually within 250m when i was firing them. And with my own LoS and active probe.

hat kind of defeats them as LONG range missiles tho lol

[Afuldan McKronik]

I dont look at them as Long Range... I think of them as Lock and Rage..

[Deathlike]

There's hitreg?

It's as mythical as the 6MG Spider or as legendary like a LRM King Crab Gigaspike Dire Wolf.

Good luck with those SRMs!
