Pretty much the dumbest things I've ever seen in this game have been done by LRM boating players.

Eg, recently saw a Catapult emptying his LRMs at a NARCed Arctic Cheetah. He did some damage at first, but the ACH quickly hid behind some hard cover.
...and the Catapult continued firing until the NARC wore off, even after I repeatedly told him to stop firing because he wasn't doing any damage (turns out lurmers can't read).
The Catapult then ran out of ammo and hid while the rest of the team died, finishing the battle with zero damage taken.

Another time, I was taking on multiple heavies and assaults in my Banshee, while a LRM boating Shadow Cat hid behind me.
Not only did the Shadow Cat fail to shoot his LRMs at any of the targets I was lighting up (instead preferring to shot his LRMs into canyon walls while trying to hit other targets) or provide any kind of useful distraction, he repeatedly blocked my movement and fired his LRMs into my backside.


Now, I see non-LRM players do some stupid stuff too, but the worst of it comes from LRM boats. Due to LRMs being the 'noob tube' of MWO, they naturally attract the 'less intelligent' players.

Lol that Catapult.

I hate it when i see LRM-boats with no backup weapon. Jesus 6x LRM5 or 4x LRM15A MDD, 4x LRM15 Awesome, 4x LRM15 Mauler, 3x LRM10A Centurion WITH XL-engine. 6x LRM15 Catapult, LRM75A Highlander or Spirit Bear... etc. Those potato lurm-boats really make me cringe.

That **** is why i hybridize; just some fluff LRMs on basic Dakka-Vomit. I wanna bring LRMs, while not being helpless.

My current venture is: EBJ-B Fire Support - UAC10 [180] + 2x LRM10A [720] + 3x ERML, 15 DHS, and because of the 1014 damage done is a lot more meaningful than when done from a 6x LRM5 Mad-Dog/Catapult.

I remember that time we met on the battlefield and I LRMd you to death despite your best efforts and you rage quit.

I have never rage quit, nor have I been LRM'ed to death in AGES. I seriously think the last time I died to LRMs might have been in MW4 a decade ago.

Lately I have been seeing Griffins with two LRM 15s and no secondary weapons.

No need to be embarrassed.

Especially after running your mouth off like you have been all thread.

I wonder if the people getting pounded with Artillery or Tomahawks wrote letters to the US military and asked to have Tomahawks nerfed because they were OP..

Cose' that's basically what every LRMs OP, please nerf post is..

And keep in mind the dude that presses the fire button on that Tomahawk is also not sharing armor! What a noob! He should not be allowed to do that. Only AK47s Vs. M16s is the true way to do combat!

Seriously guys, another LRM thread?

GIVE IT A BREAK WILL YA?!

Never a good idea to compare real life combat to what is seen in a game. So easy to pick apart this kind of argument.

Mostly I'm just making a post because I was aghast by what I saw. Had I been firing those LRMs and wasn't getting a crosshair blink when my missiles should have connected I'd have held fire and switched targets to a target that wasn't protected by such a heavy AMS screen. If I saw my missiles getting shot down I'd have switched targets and even if I couldn't see it happening when I didn't get a hit I would have assumed the target was behind cover and switched targets anyway. I guess I'm confused. Did these people actually think they were dealing damage? I mean, they must have because they kept doing it, right?

I would guess that they probably WERE seeing a cross hair blink. It only takes ONE missile doing damage to light it up ... and you would never notice the damage from one missile on your side. Most LRM pilots would not keep firing over and over without some sort of positive feedback that they were doing some damage. Though eventually they should notice that the armor is not changing color and get the message.
