Drop the 15s to 10s and every missile will ct seek. With 15s and 20s they target random components.

[@xavier71a]

I noticed this as well. I did a catapult with 4 TB5s and every shot went CT.

[@LoneHunta]

Yeah, and being able to spam alphas with 4 5s 4 10s is nice. And not having to go 44kp/h. :v

[@kings_nemesis5995]

My only question i have is why do they seek ct cause i had that happen in a match where i torso twised in my crusader 6t amd my ct still got hit from the missles which doesnt add up to me

[@xavier71a]

@@kings_nemesis5995 tbf, ATMs already do this somewhat as well. If you fire from the side they like to aim for the crotch (mostly), and TBs are basically IS ATMs.

[@kings_nemesis5995]

@xavier71a true that does make sense like one game I had thunderbolts shot at me in the viper my ct was one shot I jump jetted as most hit a mountain in front of me and my plan was to get hit in the leg and it was looking like it was going to hit my leg but I died

[@gbprime2353]

Patch leaks just out! Thunderbolts are having indirect spread buffed, and velocity going up from 190m/s to 300m/s !!! Also ECM will now only double the time it takes to get a lockon instead of quadrupling it like it does now! (I expect that one to be walked back next month, honestly...)

[@dmora2386]

the most important thing is they nail the story telling.

[@zr6671]

im glad that they decided to do the story around the smoke jags, they have always been my fav clan

[@thefactory7221]

the upcoming balance patch is gonna make these more viable, velocity buffs for thunderbolts mean they can actually reach the target before getting shot down :D

[@christophergreen6595]

This is my fave, rocking a thunder/60 package, tag, and 3 erMed.

[@exparrow777]

Warboss' final comment is perfect.

[@daviddietz2193]

Clearly the answer to the question "How many thunderbolt missiles?" is "ALL the thunderbolt missiles."

[@batteredknight1]

Have you ran into an issue where your missiles just fly off in random directions? I was testing out a similar build 4-10's, and 4 -5's and about a third of the shots just went wildly off target, going no where near where I was a) aiming, or b) had the tag at. Had direct los on all targets too.

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

Nope I havnt

[@thya_6177]

so thats why when i went back on my 2 Rot/AC5 Atlas my CT was getting destroyed by missiles, guess not checking the update logs was not good idea

[@williamalvarez9563]

Is the answer "yes!"?

[@warlynx5644]

Seems like a solid build, but I’d personally suggest dropping the Thunderbolt 5s for SRMs so you can have more close range punch

[@rolffriedman1894]

thought tag didn't effect thunderbolts?

[@munkymunk9053]

tag still allows you to target faster and counter ecm.

[@BLOODKINGbro]

​@@munkymunk9053 begale probe?

[@Manae.L]

@@BLOODKINGbro Far more limited range. But useful for countering the offensive ECM effect.

[@munkymunk9053]

@@BLOODKINGbro probe doesnt speed up target lock and doesnt counter ecm at long distance.

[@BLOODKINGbro]

@munkymunk9053 probe has a range boost and targeting gain time boost for lock-ons

[@jonathonspears7736]

I feel like you would have accomplished more using LRMs. Just saying.

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

Yup, until this months patch your better off with LRMs.

[@christophergreen6595]

I get higher damage with LRM's but fewer kills.

[@amancalledcraig]

You carry and someone on "your team" complains. omg..
