The OP was talking about SSRMs, but I've noticed that groups of both SSRMs and SRMs seem to be spreading out more and hitting less often.

[Ecouto]

Yea ive been gettign that too. My SSRMS have a wider spread and miss

[o0Marduk0o]

Don't know what you mean. After last patch and before the hot-fix today SSRM were broken. They were missing still standing targets but in my last game I experienced the opposite. It seems that they silently fixed it.
It is working as intended, that not all missiles hit the centre torso any more.

[Taron]

SSRM still are very strong support weapons - no killers anymore, but fantastic for support others.

[impar]

SSRMs no longer justify their cost, tonnage and ammo cost compared to SRMs.
A weapon that was supposed to lock to targets and never miss now misses at any range.
Better use SRM now.

Refer to topic i'd like to have a dev answer or any official note. Or anything really... Not a boat but liked them.

Looks like I have to be more specific. SSRM started to spray since last patch can't even hit stopped target with homing missiles... Anyone ?

More details on why you think they're bugged would be useful

[dal10]

their accuracy was nerfed

They do - if you are a team player.

If you want to play lone wolfe - forget SSRM - but while in Team, they are really strong

what exactly are you talking about?
I mean, what about the Social Button, is it a bug?

no offense meant, but i guess you have to be more specific if you expect an answer from ANYONE

[Kobura]

They were never supposed to in either tabletech (my new term ) or in MWO to CT-seek, just to definitely-hit

The randomized locations actually gives lights a bit of a break, now a couple ssrm2s strapped onto any other mech aren't a sphere of impenetrability anymore. I know personally if I saw more than one streak in the enemy loadout (I'm a jenner pilot) I just eyeballed them from FAR and called for help.

Now I've got a fighting chance (though I have changed my jenner's two ssrm2 for 2xsrm4 due to the change)

[Dark Mortuus]

I noticed the accuracy is down a bit. I assume you are upset they are not 100% hit and 100% str8 to the CT. Justin Timberlake wrote you a song. "Cry me a river".

Its not Bugged.

Well since you don't even know what i'm talking about you can't possibly have informations... And I already got an answer by SOMEONE.

Lol Did I seem upset to you ? It's a question... You seem a little cranky though. Throwing free insults.Oh and stating the obvious... you assumed wrong.

Can I get positif and intelligent feedback now ?

In my opinion they are now "working as intended". I use them myself on one of my Jenners and it was stupid easy. Now it requires some luck and a little planning. Just like real combat.

Streak-cats and Streak-mandos will now have to work for their wins other than just "Wait for red, press button until dead".

[Gallowglas]

Isn't this the intended niche that Artemis is supposed to fill for SRM and SSRM builds?

[Dark Mortuus]

Cant wait to get home and test.

[Taron]

I still play my A1 with 6 streaks - and i get my kills. So... God's in heaven, it's all OK with the world.

Guys, stop complain or whine - learn to play!

Its not just accuracy - they lock on random body parts (each rocket individually) and seem to miss even against average-sized low-speed targets in plain view. Part of it was promised by devs earlier, but i dont see any mentions of this in recent patchnotes.

I think it would make more sence if they would be speed sensitive and lock into bodyparts by pairs, while ignoring hands and legs - that would still nerf them from their only-torso behaviour, but still leave them as an alternative to srm's. Now i dont think that they live up to their cost in critslots and cbills - but hey, who said they should.

[Phemeto]

i keep trying to tell people, AMS shoot down SSRM now.

[PropagandaWar]

Yep not a nerf. They still follow youll learn your lines soon enough to hit. They needed to get rid of the "F/R CT Mainly" impact zone. As to the SRM's it used to be about this tight without art. You just need to learn the lines there as well.
