Dear PGI!
I play with the SRM. Often there is no damage.
I believe that the SRM need fix.
See, please, video, it's not normal:

Yeah, I see this every so often too.

It isn't just SRMs. It is all weapons. Hit reg is broken and has been for a long time. It comes in spurts... and when you're hit with it... everything starts running afoul.

I see a lot of missiles missing the intended target, or hitting the side torsos. Here's some tips for SRMs

1. They spread, just cause you aim at a single point doesn't mean they'll all hit that point. Being closer to your target reduces the spread and having the Artemis targeting system creates a tighter spread as well.

2. You have to lead with SRMs, which I saw you were kinda doing...I think, however you were hitting the side torsos a lot at the end or missing entirely.

3. Don't overheat. You give enemies free time to core you out with ease, that's your own fault.

....at 00:30 it looks like some of your SRMS were in fact LRMS. please check with your technician to make sure that all the ammo bin loading procedures were followed. Also, buying ammo from 1st grade suppliers is something that a responsible mechwarrior should always do.

Looks like a tickrate issue to me.

Server is tracking things at too low of a frequency for HSR to calculate the position data correctly.

Seen this for a while now, shots either phase through, or will register on the opposite side instead of landing where they should be client side.

SRM are so OP now

[Macster16]

SRMs and PPCs have the worst hitreg (atleast for me).

I don't understand why gauss and AC rounds seem to register fine and PPCs don't even though they essentially have the same behavior.

yeah i keep seeing this happening

i know Russ requested SRM hitreg issues videos not long ago, so i tweeted this to him

i had my own dose of frustration trying to get a Firebrand to perform adequately with PPCs yesterday... after the pain of optimizing the whole thing and making sure its the best i can get out of it and cool at a relatively acceptable rate, i went into a game only to see a good number of PPC shots just pass through mechs

suffice to say i feel like trashing the damn mech now
