So much bad info in this thread. Whats up with these new guys how have no clue about MWO and think they have the game figured out???

Part of why the MWO wiki should be cleaned up (part of the roadmap). I do also think it should be community edited but like any wiki with a moderation team and citations.

So like now that Lurms are essentially ATMs
What's the point of ATMS now ?

Someone splain this to me coz i dont get it .

I think of LRMs Vs. ATMs like this:

LRMs is if you want to lob missiles from the back row, over your teammate and control the battlefield with suppressive fire.

ATMs is if you want a close-in aggressive playstyle with lock-on, that goes over some cover, but delivers a massive punch close in to the target.

Right now, I play both LRMs and ATMs, and I have to say that I prefer LRMs on big slower mechs, while ATMs are best suited for fast jump jet capable medium mechs.

LRM best mechs: Supernova, Warhawk, Highlander IIC, Awesome, Atlas, Sun Spider
Best ATM Mechs: Vapor Eagle, Huntsman, Hunchback IIC, Cougar, Stormcrow

Now wonder why you have a certain reputation and a bunch of people who don't like to see you on their team.

to be fair: I guess you guys couldn't read time+date from that far behind the team, either

You can of course always mix LRMs and ATMs, that way you can get the benefit of both lots of missiles at long range and still have decent damage at short range. Pretty much needs to be an assault mech to make it worth while though - Supernova can do this and still have room for some lasers
