I think it would be a lot nicer if we could use artemis and get credit for the event thingos.

What do you think?

You still can. The 5000 missile damage doesn't care what kinda missile you use. Heck, I used atms for ~1000 of it.

It's kinda annoying but if I can get the Clan SRM6 one fairly quick with only 2 of them as backups on an ERPPC VGL then you can do it too.

SRM 4s are SRM 4s, if you have arti or not it shouldn't matter as long as its SRM 4s, i think its kinda weird to restrict the weapons to not having it, its just guidance i dont feel like its a whole different weapon system in my humble opinion.

Getting the 5000 missile damage is super easy with an lrm spammer. If you go clan you don't even have to waste an assault slot just use the jenner IIc or hunstman or veagle.

Ehhh. I wanted to get this two Lights for their mechbays and some CBs from selling them. But this SRM requirements are way to bad. I don't have Lights and don't want to buy them for this event. And SRMs aren't suitable for Heavies/Assaults, because they have too short range to get so close on Heavy/Assault. Yeah, it happens, but very rarely. I don't even know, how we lived before MRMs/ATMs, because LRMs were only alternative for them. So I thought about something like SRM Assault with Artemis and something, that could increase SRM range. But nope. So, I'll focus on completing 5k damage for MC.

Try the Kintaro KTO-18 medium IS mech.
Modest CBills requirements for medium mech, 5 missile hardpoints, and quirks for Missile Cooldown, Missile Heat, and Missile Velocity :)

(The IS Hero mech Dervish Frenzy DV-FR with 8 missile hardpoints works very well too, but not everyone has it yet).

You are not required to use light Mechs.

My Gargoyle likes to have a word with you, (well, what my Warhawk has left of you). ;)
Also fights are a lot more brawly these days - (almost) everybody takes cover since PPFLD is king again, was even buffed (and armor remained untouched, effectively reducing TTK). SRMs on heavies? Archer, Timberwolf, LINEBACKER (!), MAD DOG - are all relatively fast paced Mechs, can take a punch and dish out two.
Or you go for medium Mechs.

I know, that Lights aren't required. My variants of IS 'Mechs for that event: Catapult and Cyclops. I can also buy Archer. Don't think, that I would want to buy Dervish. At least without 50% discount. What I don't like - is that I would need to create dedicated SRM4-boat builds for this purpose, instead of "just playing the game". Clans are easier in this case. While MRM10 is equivalent of SRM6, ATMs are heavier and take too many slots, so many of my Clan 'Mechs have C-SRM6. Same for ER-PPC.

You can use any Clan 'Mech armed with plain SRM-6s.

And of course, you do not have to run a pure SRM-boat. Just use them as a supplement to lasers or autocannons.

OP its hard to figure out what PGIs is thinking

I love events

but why would they care if I use ARTRMIS or not


or who cares what size SRMs I use or even medium lasers

I bought a 6 missile hard point Thanatos 5T just to complete the SRM 4 part of the challenge
now I have to go sell it

I was wrong. I has taken 3.5 matches (I died early in 2nd one due to my team, trying to NASCAR around enemy team, instead of supporting me) to complete this task in Archer-5W. Yeah, I had to buy it. And I've spend GSP on it. It's not bad. So, I guess, I'll keep it, wasting one mech bay, I would earn during this event. I'm not sure, what 'Mechs to buy next anyway and I had large amount of CBs due to it.

ARC-5W Archer used to be a good troll build, when loaded with LRMs ... Posted Image

What bothers me is they essentially force you to buy a mech that can carry those missiles outside of a discount or be stuck with trial commando/jennerIIC... not to mention this particular javelin doesn't even have missile hardpoints... poorly thought out event imho...

Pardon?

That Trial Jenner IIC carries four SRM racks which means that you drop just twice or three times in it to complete that part of the challenge. And you have a month to do that.
