I never really use ATMs since there release and I remembered why.
I thought I would try them again today but I'm not exactly
Understanding what's going on here.
I know they have a minimum range and ATMs seem to fire
Straight out rather than up and over like LRMs.
I just got done playing a match while using ATMs. And about
Six or seven times I would lock on to my target and my target was
Clearly right Infront of me about 300 to 500 meters. I would fire
My ATMs and they would go straight to the enemy and do
No damage. Or at least it wasn't registrating. And then the other
Half of the match my ATMs would hit the target scoring damage.


And this has happened alot. So I don't understand... If I'm in range
Have a clear shot why are half of my shots not hitting the enemy. Especially when I see
Them literally hit them. Is it ams? Can someone help

AMS will wreck ATMs in short order. Even a single AMS will take out a considerable amount of ATM missiles. Add more AMS and it's unlikely your ATMs will do any damage.

<sub>Much like Ultra ACs, ATMs need to be boated for max effectiveness. If you're putting less than 18-24 downrange at a time they're probably gonna get eaten by AMS. And even if you are sending 24-27 downrange, a team with multiple AMS is going to make your life miserable.

Try an ATM24 Huntsman, or an ATM27 Sunspider and see if you have a little more success.</sub>

It is truely wonderful
To have so many poets among us

But the AMS answer is the right
Cuz while the missiles are in flight
They number so few
That all they can do
Is die while you're flanked by a light

[Composite Armour]

There once was a man from Peru
who dreamed he was eating glue
He woke up in a fright
Saw his LRMs in flight
And found his dream had come perfectly true.

[InvictusLee]

Being flanked by a light
Before its flight
One might aim an AC20
and erase its blight
from the map
Such is the plight
Of a light

If ATMs is what you wish to bring,
Flee from Kit Fox and shoot some other thing.

[Marquis De Lafayette]

If ATMs are to be your art
Make sure to put them on a pop tart
Jump jets and ATMs are together a delight
Just remember to avoid any AMS blight
An Active probe and light tag will also help in part

Not a haiku. Too many syllables.

ATMs are Great
Jump Jet and Shoot Enemy
Much Damage Awaits

[Jackal Noble]

Let them think ATMs are so bad
So I can continue to farm damage
Much fun to be had
Marshmallow missile, enemy of AMS.

ATMs are not my thing
Perhaps, they don’t have enough zing
In b4
This becomes a rap
Like tier of yore
I might just snap
