Yes, i know, only a minor variation... but still. The closer you can get, the better the bundle of SRMs clusters together. 4x SRM2 instead of 2x SRM4 for reload speed.
multiple SRM2s is a really nice upgrade over simply getting 2x SRM4 now, 4 vs 2.6 DPS per 4 missiles! Even though it's a locust, I feel somewhat eager to try this one out! Especially with the upcoming SRM fix.
Your forget one simple thing... do the math... yay faster reload... but also.. hey what's with the heat? U will have to restrict your fire to not overheat.... and there goes the benfit of a faster reload down the drain....
This is about as good as it gets, I ran with a XL190 and one ton less ammo last night and scored three kills, 8 assists and 360+ damage. One kill was the rear armor of a Dire Whale, another legging a Raven. It's fast, deadly and annoying. A true Locust plague. Hit and run? When will you stick around for 17 seconds? I for one do my damage and get out ASAP with maybe two or three cycles at most.
I'm with Lan on this. With as quick as you have to move the Locust to survive, getting that extra volley of SRM2 x 4 before you run off is a real help with this build.
