So I never really paid attention this past year until the other night to the this loading screen where it is talking about LRM's....

The one that talks about IS LRM's not arming for 120 m BUT CLAN LRMS do not have this limitation??


I went and tested this on several test maps using clan lrm's......none did damage until I was over 120 m away.


What's the true story and if wrong....why are the loading screens not fixed?


Thanks!

Clan LRMs most certainly do damage inside 180m, but it does less and less as you get closer. IS LRMs have a 180m deadzone, not 120m.

And basically, I don't even think PGI noticed either as far as the messages are concerned.

The only thing I've ever learned from the loading screen tips was to hold left ctrl to look around the cockpit.

And then I realized that the original IS mechs have much better cockpit textures than the clan mechs or newer IS mechs.

Visually? Sure. LRMs deal damage within 180.

But functionally? Yeah. More or less just as FUBAR as an IS LRM boat if the enemy's close enough to worry.

Boated CLRMs still do respectable damage until the enemy is within 100 meters.
