You do understand what he is talking about right?

Have you seen the Jenner's running around with part of their mech sticking out at a weird angle? That is viewing the Jenner from a 3rd person view, and we are seeing a graphics bug. That is what is being addressed.

ok I'll stop ******** now.

I figured it was something to do with looking at other people's Mechs, but I haven't seen this issue personally.

[knight-of-ni]

Excellent.
My Jenner thanks you.

[Ferventus]

Garth and PGI,
Thank you for this update! I hope you know that there are quite a few of us who are passionate about seeing this game become the very best Battletech experience in the history of the franchise .

[SteelPaladin]

Nice. My Catapult has been godly today, but I would like to be able to use my lasers on occasion w/o feeling like I'm making a bad tactical choice. I would also like to potentially add Artemis to the thing w/o feeling like cheesy *******...

[CycKath]

Cool. The LRM stuff will be welcome, the cockpit issues just more amusing.

[Vila deVere]

Excellent. But you guys gotta get your QA sorted. No way stuff like this should have made it through.

Would you kindly extrapolate and explain in numerical figures?

[The Wine Gnat]

The Devs do care!!! YAY!!! I was set on signing off until this got resolved, but happy to see they listened to the OVERWHELMING player feedback saying how bad the LRMs and Artemis were.

[BlackSquirrel]

Please make it so Narc'd or Tagged mechs have an extra benefit... Thus encouraging more team work. Currently simply spotting them is "good enough"

Honestly the angle of approach/spread should only change for narc/tag.

Artemis is a different story as was suppose to change only with LOS... Which makes sense due to risk V. reward of being able to be shot at.

[TostitoBandito]

What about fixing Artemis with regards to LOS? It is NOT supposed to work on indirect fire and it currently does.

Also, you don't necessarily need to nerf LRM damage. The default spread simply needs to be increased so they cover the whole target mech and a small area around it. Not all the missles should hit the target unless it is large, stationary, and in the open.

[Jaded Jasper]

Nice work guys! Sometimes bugs slip through, and it's good to see them handled quickly when necessary.
