True, but when you do hit, it will be spectacular. Besides, I recall the weight being between that of an LRM and AC.

The exact weights are:

MM1: 2 tons (IS), 1 ton (Clan)
MM2: 5 tons (IS), 2.5 tons (Clan)
MM4: 7 tons (IS), 3.5 tons (Clan)
MM8: 10 tons (IS), 5 tons (Clan)

Same weight as Lurms, basically. Same critslots too.

An interesting note is that the heat efficiency gets worse in the upper launchers. The MM1 and MM2 offer 1 heat per mortar, but then the MM4 and MM8 each do 1.25 heat per mortar (5 and 10 heat total, respectively).

So mech mortars are basically a dumb fire LRM? Im ok with this!

They're more like the high-arc LRMs from the days of yore (e.g. circa early-mid 2013), except they're also immune to AMS.

What we need are MRMs and light gauss rifles.

I want to see hitreg buckle and scream when we get 80 missiles at short ranges inbound.
