I am liking the new LRMs. Seems like Artemis is finally worth taking and you get rewarded for not hiding behind hills/objects. On the receiving end I didn't notice LRMs had changed, I just duck behind cover as usual.

Normally there are four or five LRM hate threads on the forums after LRMs get a minor buff.

Anyway, for the first time I feel like my LRMs are using Artemis.

Nah, we're in a crying about lrms phase.

We're overdue for a lights OP thread tho.

Don't worry I still dislike LRM users in my own team with a passion.
Gladly I don't have to deal with LRM users cause I ain't playing this game.

Here ya go bruh "Instant Lurm Hate" thread.
Now wait for the mynah birds to show up and it will be perfect.

Yeah I'm not playing my catapults or light mechs. Pretty much done with mwo. I'm sure there's a lrm/light pilot that can take my place. Might spend a week in the Jenner to get that Jenners op must nerf thread necro-ed. Junners are just such crap ever since the rescale and armor nerf i'd rather use any of my locusts.

Then you'd get folks whinging again.

I'm so tired of seeing all these Veagles jumping and waving their silly tags around. Aren't y'all getting bored of that thing yet?

Here for someone who wants to learn how to use LRMs a good solid LRM Archer build very well quirked.
Just make sure you build skill tree smartly to enhance the quirks on the Archer. It dose best at 300 400 meter range were you can deploy LRMs and lasers together. https://mech.nav-alp...3d4d645c_ARC-2R

1. Coop gets his own locks.
2. Those were clearly SRMs anyways
3. Megas would never fight from a ditch 800 meters from the enemy.

Enjoying the new mechanics and getting your own locks, yeah well there's nothing to hate on.

Have fun dude, and keep on keeping on.

I mean...there's an actual ELRM system in this IP. All we gotta do is pretend that the E stands for Epic instead of Extended.

LRMs have become more likely to be shot down, to crash in the background when used in direct LOS, and to not be fired at all when used with no direct LOS...

So they behave just as before when they do manage to hit something, because what changed is their ability to hit anything.

I'd say their efficiency (damage per game) has been ~halved, between 2018 and 2019.

Don't worry, PGI can still aim for you just switch to ATMs.

As for what you say the efficiency or damage being halved...not even your own stats show your output being halved. So this feeling is just that, a feeling and doesn't reflect reality.

I mean June was a really solid month for you, just keep doing what you did then.

Oh and my boy McGoat says hi.
