AC/20 packing Thantos is interesting twist....the 6 MRM10 with Artemis is interesting....

MRMs don't gain anything from Artemis, Wrangler.

So why do they have them on that variant?

Might be referring to Apollo. Or, alternatively, Artemis does work differently in MWO then tabletop, so they might work with MRMs after all.

What do you mean? There's no 'MRM-XX+Artemis IV' weapon, and I've never noted a marked increase in missile accuracy when using MRMs with Artemis enabled, and Apollo isn't in this game.

Well, I'm blaming dev oversight if it has Artemis installed, because it doesn't do anything for that variant. Or at least it should not. Because I have four MRM-equipped mechs that at one point had Artemis IV that I never uninstalled, and I never get a benefit from it.

Sorry make a fuss. I just didn't understand it having it listed in the stats posted in those pictures from the lab.
The TNS-5T has in it's info saying "Artemis Equipment = Standard"

I guess it's just fluke of way the lab is or how the game is done.  I don't mean to distract from the Thantos roll out.

Fun mech...

...to farm damage on or just kill outright.


I am enjoying my GRF-5M(L).  Thanks PGI!

The B33f's latest video on his Gauss + Stealth Armor Thany was pretty entertaining.

Oh. That just means it has standard, non-Artemis guidance. As in, "Standard Guidance Systems).

So yeah. No Artemis. You can add it, but you'd also need to add the required compatible missile systems (LRMs+SRMs, obviously).
