Garth posted this yesterday... Couple things I pulled from garths later posts in that thread. LRM damage is going down by .3 per missile So that means 2.0 damage per becomes 1.7 Artemis missile spread is being increased by 5% Apparently LRMs falling at 90Degree angles was a bug The 3rd person that he is referring to is Jenners with speedtweak used to turn so fast that the camera would clip out the side of their mech and not be able to keep up with it.
Actually the cockpit fix is the thing when you died, your cockpit would be outside our Mech. All the LRM adjustments are justified in my opinion.
Oh ok that makse sense...lol and well anything they did at this point no matter how small to LRMs would be justified.
I doubt the LRM nerf is significant enough considering it is so little adjustment to LRM 20, for instance going from 40dmg & 8,42dps to 34dmg 7,16dps - or 1.8second increase to do 100 dmg roughly. Not accounting into several factors. The other adjustments might be significant enough on other hand.
I think they may be counting on ECM to further balance the LRMs but, I do worry that ECM will become the 3 tons that you can not live without on the battlefield because of LRMs if they aren't careful. We will wait and see.
There is something off with PGIs numbers for current LRM damage. It doesn't look like it's adding up to 1.7dmg per missile properly. At first I thought it was just me, and I'm always on the receiving end, but there is some hubbub on the forums about it too. Not sure what happened.
Not sure, another factor could be people are simply better at avoiding LRMs now. Last patch really opened people's eyes and likely gave people good habits like paying attention to the warning, finding cover and bringing AMS. No way to tell for sure unless two people physically test it.
Actually I did try it today. Was in Forest Colony standing out in the open and a few salvos came my way. No AMS, I was pugging it, and just let them hit me. Two or three salvos should have hurt badly, but I was barely yellow where the LRMs hit me.
As far as mentioning ECM is concerned... I for one cannot wait for GECM. Heavy mechs walking around providing ECM to everyone under their umbrella. So damn nice. Edit: or wait, was that AECM?
I still dish 400-500 damage on a good match with my LRM catapult. That's in line with the other players. I feel useful but not overpowered. I like it.
