I can't help but think that Thunderbolts were introduced, as they were, to both satisfy the "we want more weapons" crowd, as well as the "lock on weapons must suck" crowd. I think there is no way the Cauldron thought these things would perform well in the game...

Prove me wrong, but what I see is a weapon system actually meant to be a red herring, designed to be irrelevant and have no impact.

Thunderbolt Missile has some usefulness now. I got some kills with TBMs.

The April game patch should give TBM some additional viability: less powerful ECM means easier way of getting locks; higher velocity means higher probability of hitting enemy 'Mechs.

I feel that TC (Targeting Computer) Should also speed up missile velocity also!

~Swap in TC and reduce missile ammo?
~Swap in TC and reduce missile launchers?
~Or both of above?

Oh, the agony!
