Just tested the direct fire spread in PTS and compared them to live client.

One word: RIDICULOUS!!!

It spreads way more than live... with DIRECT FIRE mode... you know the mode that requires the most risk, for more efficient and focused damage.


Here are two videos, demonstrated on the largest targets possible to show how bad it is... just imagine how it will be on smaller targets.








SOLUTION:

TIGHTEN THE SPREAD TO OBLIVION.... HELL... SOMETHING!!!!

We wanted LRM nerfs. We wanted incentives for line of sight. At what cost?

Tried that with IS LRMs, got 12 volleys of 2x LRM20A.

I was going to try it on Live, but I don't have a Thanatos 5P for consistency lel.

OP, it's actually less bad than LRM test 1.0, so we're on the right track. Indirect is quite nerfed comparatively, which I'm OK with.

Spread in direct fire needs just a little more tightening and it should be fine.

Hyperbole aside, reducing the radius only a little bit will be enough, the equation for area will do the rest. Your tests are showing the same ~20% increase in missiles required that my tests have found, so all the numbers remain solid here at least.

Doesn't matter if your test mech has extra 5% velocity or not.
