I'm not that good. Lol

[Valleric]

Me and my crew roll people in drops for days. Its nice to win almost every match. We only have problems with tier up's crew, emp, and 228, but those are the best players in the game.

Its kewl man we teach you.

I'll add you later this week and figure out if I can work my schedule I work 4 12 m-su

Whenever you are free dude, I love to teach people mwo. I solo drop early in the morning and do unit drops in the evening. When you add me (Valleric) well see where you are at in skill and what playstyle you are efficient with. Don't be intimidated by dropping with all tier 1 pilots who most have been playing since beta, we are a really nice 41 man unit. All of us are friendly, but there will be weenis jokes.

Spread does matter... I have Accuracy percentages above 40% on all IS launchers except LRM20 (35%) and on all cLRM+A & LRM5 (LRM10+A is a shockingly high 60%) while regular cLRM are progressively down in the 38% to 33%. More hitting your target is better than less hitting your target... stripping armor that your teammates will naturally target the breaches is one of your main missions as a LRM boat.

Perhaps I misspoke. I realize that having tighter spread is better than having too big of a spread. However, small differences in spread aren't a huge issue for me because I consider AMS, terrain, and lost lock as all factors which contribute to reduced damage regardless of spread. There just seems to be a lot of room for LRMs to miss so having spread that is 1m wide instead of .8m wide doesn't upset me. Yes, I made those numbers up but I needed to provide some kind of example of what I meant.

I got your concept... but it does matter on the effective ability to put meaningful damage on enemy mechs, the LRM5 builds were using a very specific factor to be as effective as they were. When that factor was removed then their ability was summarily removed as well, small constant DPS is no longer a viable option since you will splash too much damage around.

LRM5 spread increased from 3 to 4.2 meters which is the same as LRM10 spreads. LRM15 and 20 spreads are identical at 5.2 meters since the Nov 2016 patch.

Thank you again. Is there a website that tells this kind of information? I am usually able to research these kinds of things but I haven't found a good place for MWO information.

PREVIOUS patch notes under the annoucements forum. Google-fu... "mwo patch lrm spread", the december 2015 patch made all sorts of cooldown and spread alterations to srms and lrms. The november 2016 patch had the next round of changes, and the march 2017 patch has the SRM4 and LRM5 changes.

Basically... NO! You have to know what you are looking for and then google the specifics out, one more thing that PGI calls a "Feature"
