[Serious Table]

ATMs at present work in the following way:

* 0-180m = 0 Damage/Missile
* 180-270m = 3 Damage/Missile
* 270-540m = 2 Damage/Missile
* 540-1100m = 1 Damage/Missile

As Chris has mentioned that they are attempting to avoid taking Streak and SRMs' niche with ATMs, why not have close range damage follow the same pattern? I propose the following:

* 0-90m = 1 Damage/Missile
* 90-180m = 2 Damage/Missile
* 180-270m = 3 Damage/Missile
* Etc.

This means SRMs:
* Deal more damage at their best ranges
* Have a much tighter spread
* Have a higher velocity
* Have more shots per ton

This also means S-SRMS:
* Have much higher velocity and tracking than ATMs within their range
* Have more shots per ton.

These should keep the SRMs and S-SRMs the top performers in their niche, while ATMs become a flexible secondary weapon system for Clan Mechs.

* 50 or 90-270 = 3 Damage/Missile & Etc.
The minimum range of missiles (High Explosive) is not, then this will be more correct.

Screw Table Top values or lore at this point. This is a suggestion based off of what the balancing designer said their intended purpose of the weapon was.
