The spread change are going to make SRMs crazy-good when you add artemis.

IS:
SRM 2: 2.5m -> 1.65
SRM 4: 3.5m -> 2.31
SRM 6: 4.5m -> 2.97

Clan:
SRM 2: 3.0m -> 1.98
SRM 4: 4.0m -> 2.64
SRM 6: 5.0m -> 3.3

Keep in mind that SRMs do 2 damage per missile (2.15 for IS). So a Clan SRM 6 Artemis is a 12 damage shot for only 2.5 tons and 4 heat. A Clan Large Pulse laser does 13 damage and costs 6 tons and 10 heat. The C-LPL has still got a healthy range advantage, but once you close that distance, the SRMs are going obliterate the competition.

As it should..It is were SRMs designed for.

I like the overall changes.

Sure if the register. I don't think PGI will ever fix the registration issue so that's why I'd like them to put back in splash or raise the damage.

This will help the Oxide

Muwahaahahahaa!!! My oxide shall once again become death destroyer of mechs.

You know for like a month before Jenner IIC comes out and completely destroys everything.

the problem with firing 4x ASRM6 isn't the laughable ghost heat.
The problem is hit reg when you launch 24 missiles. I doubt that will change.

[Weeny Machine]

The ghost heat is of no relevance. Hitreg is borked at the moment. So if you fire 4 SRM racks instead of 3 then hitreg most likely will register an amount which equals roughly 3 racks.

My only hope is that the speed decrease of the mechs will help hitreg
