I thought they recently patched that out as well.

I only used streaks for the faction war event in scouting, I literally bought a BSW and loaded it with tag and streaks for the event.
Considering how I was killing fewer people but doing more overall damage I think they're still not good for hunting big game.

The Cyclops probably got lucky rolls on the Streaks, and managed to hit the same location a lot. Seven SSRM4s on a Cyclops is huge waste of tonnage, as you can get six SSRM4s on a Bushwacker, at 35 tons less. Streak cyclops is pretty hilarious in Conquest match though, as no enemy capper can challenge it head on.

Somewhere in the depths of the Forum must be a chart about the chances of streaks hitting a certain mech part - before that change all Streaks aimed at the Center Mass but IS-SSRM2 were "to deadly" some influential Players claimed.
Artemis accelerated Lock On but i havent used Streaks since a long time and do not know if they patched this "error" out.
In short: PGI hates Missiles and does no good to them...

Had a match with my hunchie.
I basically had one of my legs almost immediatly stripped of armor by streaks while the rest of my mech remained fresh.
That was pretty annoying, but it was rare.

At same time we also had (S)SRM splash damage which made it possible to raven 3L with 2x SSRM2 to center core atlas pretty quickly... said ravens also had better durability (hit reg issues) than Assassin have now.
also now that this topic talks about cyclops, we can build this (ssrm4 plz, we can have ssrm6) CP-10-Q 7xSSRM6 and if we still had that CT homing (even without splash) this would 1 shot any light and strip all of the CT armor of any medium mech in the game (ok maybe not bushwacker because of quirks). And that would be kinda silly?

Streaks are still pretty bad against anything bigger than a 40 tonner.
Cyclops is much better off with MRMs against larger targets.

Did he see my Cyclops?
I do this. Chain fire (when fired streaks will try to pick different targets from each other, this is far less random when fired in sequence than all at once, allowing for better focus of damage), streaks galore, couple of large lasers.

2) I have also recently seen a cyclops wreck face with those streaks but I also know it wont last
4) the Artemis boost to streaks was done away with a while ago (people cried and it was removed)
