I've noticed I take more damage from lrm's and I have a lrm boat which is now getting kills with the lrm's. Am I imagining things or are they stronger now? Not saying they are OP or anything, just noticing they seem to have a bigger punch.

In the weapon balance thread it was mentioned that LRMS were going to get a .1 damage increase.

1.8 from 1.7 I believe.

Not sure if it was put in on this patch or not.

Not many LRMs being used from my point of view.

Did you install artemis recently? It gives a significant boost.

Otherwise no. The .1 dmg increase did not go in this patch.

ive noticed lrms are a little better now too, maybe better grouping now?

but they are still pretty easy to dodge with good use of cover.

I suspect Ninja Buff too because my damage increase, if it's not a perception flaw from poor sampling size, does not correspond to a mere ~5% damage increase.

Maybe missiles are hitting more often now. Not sure. The Cataphract probably isn't helping either because that thing's shape is awesome to hit with LRMs.

I always had artemis. The difference now and before patch is noticeable. I'm 100% sure they got some sort of buff. Better grouping of the missiles seems like the best option for a guess.
