In all seriousness, you were most likely hitting terrain. It is so annoying - had hoped that problem would improve when I upgraded my computer but it didn't. Even running max settings, last night I am in a match on Polar in my dual Gauss NTG. I can see the top quarter of a stationary Archer about 700 meters out lrming away. I fire, but hit nothing. Cycle and fire again as I continue moving forward - hitting nothing. Get to about 400-500 meters, suddenly a hill pops up between us and I can't see the Archer.

Imagine unironically begging for locks in an indirect fire LRM Assault 7 years after the game's initial release, or being confused as to why LRMs aren't hitting a disconnected Light behind terrain. People should know better by now.

Everyone's covered the causes. Adapt your play style. LRM Assaults are a detriment to their teams.

P.S. If you're running the hero, the Wrath is actually quite good at running MRMs. The 5E can also do some cool stuff with ballistics + SRMs. I can give you a build if you're interested.

So.. Terra Therma... 4xLRM15 Fafnir.. (I know, right?!)...

I shoot well over 10 full alphas from 600-ish meters into a STATIONARY Piranha.. I don't even brake it's armor?!

Seriously?

I hope the incoming LRM changes make this better...

And just so you guys don't label me a LRM noob.. here's what the same mech did just a few matches prior..

(Apparently there's a problem with my pic upload site, imgbb.. so I can't post a pic.. but it was a 3 solo kill, 1378 damage QP game, on HPG no less..)

Note I clearly saw some alphas be ignored on the paperdoll...

FIX THE PIRANHA PLEASE..

The fact that you think getting high damage for looking at red targets and clicking when you get a lock is good, is actually concerning.

You hit terrain probably.

.. I told you clearly what happened, and the first thing many of you do is dump on me as a player, assume I don't know what I'm doing, and keep being toxic against LRMs and lurmers in general..

dude, no offense meant - but a lot of us have seen you in-game. if you weren't constantly found in the back, doing zip, people might take this more seriously.

and a fafnir being a good lurmboat.. I'd say: outside of faction, with a dedicated group, comms and teamwork - you're just asking for it.

dear OP,

We at pgi thank you for your continued use of 100 ton mechs for lurming despite there already being stock dedicated mechs for such builds as the Catapult 65 Ton Battle mech. Perhaps you'd like to invest into the Catapult BB for your future lurming needs while enjoying its very gracious c-bill boost and 100% lrm hate inducing rage. It is available 24/7 on our web store for MC.
