Question on special abilities???
« on: 30 November 2013, 17:04:03 »
In the specials area, a Clan tank had LRM4/4/4. It's regular damage for short, med and long was 5/5/5. Does the special suggest to add the number to the corresponding range bracket? In other words at med range the tank does 5 damage then an additional 4 to equal 9?

The LRM is already included in the base weapons damage, so this tank will do 5 damage at medium range. You only use the 4/4/4 if you're only firing the LRMs, such as when using special ammo or something.

The special abilities are only used in special cases.
They are included in the base damage for standard attacks.
