Before you jump to any conclusions, I know Artemis does not affect the streak missiles, but that's not what I'm after. There's a neat side effect to Artemis. What Artemis does do is speed up the missile lock and lock redundancy. With the streak launchers still weighting 1,5t after the artemis, doesn't it practically mean it's ton-free and slot-free upgrade to all streak-pults and the likeminded? Side question: How long is the missile lock time with and without artemis?
Can anyone verify this? I have been wondering this myself. I want to get faster lock ons with my shadowhawks, but do not want to invest the 750k if it is useless..
I confirm this.. artemis helps ssrm lock time. - i dont know if it should but it definitly does make a difference..
When I have time tonight, I'll create a video comparing the following: SSRM SSRM+BAP SSRM+ARTEMIS SSRM+BAP+ARTEMIS I'll breakdown the in-game timing to see what is actually happening real-time for each case.
I am also intrigued by this and will be waiting patiently for the results... Thanks to Solahma for this
Might as well add on NARC just to finish it off. And isn't there a Module that increases lock-on time, or is that just target data aquisition?
I remember seeing that data, but I rarely use missiles and/or streaks in-game, especially with different equipment. I still tested this for actual, in-game data, regardless of how it is supposed to work. The results were a bit surprising. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME169lF2qrY&feature=youtu.be TAG did absolutely nothing... BAP, seemed to improve ever so slightly, basically nothing (as expected) but the discrepancy was not noticed when paired with ARTEMIS. ARTEMIS on the other hand is reducing the time by over 50% Welp, seems like you should never leave in a streak build without ARTEMIS. No added weight, no slots taken, only the cost in C-bills...
It was confirmed by PGI that Artemis IV shouldn't decrease the lock time of Streaks. It does so at the moment, but this was acknowledged to be a bug. Source: official forums. Sometimes, just sometimes, viable information can be found over there...
Sweet... I"m going to test this in my Heavy Metal (2 SRMS2).... Lately just having that as a weapon setup has made Light mechs just run away from me... I rarely use it half the time... but using money to decrease lock on time is worth it imo.. Thanks for the tip
I've tested it on the Oxide today and yeah, significant difference with Artemis+BAP. Almost insta-locks.
