Sorry, but it is enough.
Carapults with Streak srm2. Only Streak SRM2. It is impossible to fight them.
All the the time the own mech is shaking. Nothing to see because fire in front of cockpit.
Find a way against this. Reduce the the Kinetic Burst und the firerate or make it impossible to have so many of Streak-srm.
It´s sucks

Streak Kats are nothing to a SRM Kat, the difference is a good pilot vs guided noobs.

Use the R button to target the enemy when they are far away. Look at the payload. Focus on the really dangerous enemies first. Works best when you can tell your teammates there is a StreakCat at D4, and they converge.

[Broceratops]

if you can't beat them, join them! perhaps you will find there are a lot of mechs which can counter then pretty easily.

[Axeman1]

Or you could...I don't know...blast the **** out of it from <270 away?

[Dawg]

....or you could use your Guasscat to kill them!!

You really made two posts on this on the samge page...

Bugged posting. Look at the post times. It happens.

2 threads, one for each missile

Read the Dev post in the "command chair". they state that they are going to nerf them, and they use the word "nerf" in there post.

I just bought a streak cat, and I am unimpressed. I was expecting some kind of massive godweapon mech capable of killing entire teams with little effort.

What I got was a mech with a below-average weapons load as compared to people I was trying to solo. I got into a fight with a halfstreakcat (four streak two lasers) and he took off my center armor before I managed to kill him. The fight in general took way longer than I expected.

I ran a mission where I DID get kills, but most of my damage assisted OTHER PEOPLE to the kill. I ended with 2 (but one was a Commando) and several assists. The game was not a steamroll, we just hid on one side of the volcano better than the other team.

The mech is not God. I have seen first hand how annoying the cockpit glare and shake is, and how fast it can cut through armor, but it needs to be pretty close to do this, and it has glaring downsides. In my experience, the dangerous part is the PLAYER combined with a mech they are good at.

I have seen how much faster an all-SRM6 cat kills people. THAT is impressive.

Streak-SRMs - OMG NERF THEM!
Nov 23 - Update

We are very aware of what the streaks are doing at the moment. They ARE going to be nerfed. How is still under internal discussion/testing at the moment.

What has happened (and as noted in the last patch notes), was that two bugs were fixed. The first was to make sure the missiles ALWAYS hit. The second one was some underlying bug that was preventing the SSRMs from doing full damage. Now that those two bugs were fixed, the amount of damage per volley has increased due to the combination of both of these fixes.

We will be addressing this ASAP and I'll keep you updated on the progress

[Axeman1]

Can't wait to see how they make streaks useless, what hasn't been nerfed yet? Laser boats? Time to laser boat.

[8CH Trooper]

I don't think it's the weapon that's the problem it's the chassis, why would the dev's develop a chassis that allows 6 of one type of weapon system to be put on it, doesn't make sense. Now there's an uproar over nerfing SSRM's, fix the chassis fix the problem.

[Yigyam]

Yeah. Nerf is coming. Until then engage from over 270m and you'll be fine.

Streaks are fine damage wise and function wise.

I agree however the rocking needs to be lowered significantly. An LRM barrage barely shakes the screen so why do 2 rockets (thats what they are really) do?

Yeah nerf incoming even though people know to stay 270m+ away and shoot their arms off but are too lazy to think or engage in playing the game. "i just want to assign all gunz 2 numba 1 and hold fire lolololololol...OMG HE KILLED ME NERF STREEYKS! they are OP"

[MWHawke]

Waste of space since so many other Streak posts.
