I disagree...

Useless poster is useless...try adding why you disagree and adding some text to back up your argument.

Yeah... I guess unless you want to run ANY heavy mech? Or any good medium chassis?

The Hardpoints for the ECM mechs really aren't that uber overall... How do you know this? How many people, prior to ECM, where complaining that the Raven 3L or the Atlas DC were crazy OP? Hmm....Zero.

Your post here seems to suggest that all of the mech chassis which were widely considered the most powerful in the game... mechs like the gaussapult, or the various Cataphract variants, are suddenly useless because they can't carry ECM. Sorry, but I don't think that's an accurate representation of the current state of the game.

Why would I run a non-ECM mech? Because I want to carry weapons that the ECM chassis can't field.. like dual Gauss, or a boatload of lasers, or multiple UAC's...

They arent "useless" but they are definitely not "optimal" for win percentages right now.

You are very correct, those mechs were not considered OP previously based on hardpoints or performance...but being able to put up a defensive shell makes them MUCH better then there counter parts now. D-DC, when properly built, can engage at all ranges, and can shred other lights coming in to try and jam them.

I would like to see the SRM spread remain tighter thru the 270 range, and after that spread out. I really can't speak about LRM as the distance is often to great to make out the visual thru explosions of grandure.

Artemis equipped does have a difference as opposed to non equipped.

At current prices Artemis deserves a serious buff, but I am of the opinion that the cost should just come down instead.

Yeah, right, because there are so many Mech sporting missiles that also can equip ECM...

You only need one. The D-DC! And it does carry Missiles & ECCM scout helps out a bunch. ECCM on the D-DC can carry SSRMs or LRM15s!

Artemis works as it should when ECM is available. We just need to find the Perfect Imbalance to make ECM less in demand!

Most of you posters make me sick to my stomach.

You hijcked my thread with useless bantor regarding ECM, without reading the OP. I bet most of you don't know what Artemis does... JHC man... This thread is about SRM with Artemis. ECM has NOTHING to do with this thread. Take your garbage elsewhere.

Anyway; to you posters who wish to see the Artemis SRM missle grouping tighter, I totally agree, hence the OP. The penalties involved with Artemis outweigh the benefits. Extra tonnage, slots and weight are used for Artemis, so at the very least the grouping could be a little tighter, and possibely a little more consistant. Currently the SRM missle paths are terribely inconsistant, and should gain consistancy through Artemis, in my opinion.

Though the Thread title says, Artemis needs buff, the buff I am asking for opinions about is regarding it's grouping of SRMs, not LRMs. I cannot comment on LRMs, and don't want to try.
