Improved LRMs(Clan)

[Garydee]

These weapons are based off the ATM's long range ability.

                Heat    Crits   Tonnage
ILRM 5       2          1          1.5
ILRM 10     4          2             4
ILRM 15     5          3             6
ILRM 20     6          5             8


All these launchers have a 4/9/18/27 range. They can use any LRM ammo, Artemis, and can fire indirectly like any other LRM.

While I'm not a fan of much improved weapons, my suggestions:
1) Minimum range of '6'
2) Tonnage like the IS standard counterpart or a clan streak launcher (2t, 5t , 7t,10t).

Compared to ATMs they are too good.

How are these "Improved" Clan LRMs when STANDARD Clan LRMs weigh less (half of what IS LRMs weigh) and have NO minimum ranges?

[Demos]

Compare "my" iCLRM20 with other weapons, e.g. a HAG/20
Both weigh 10t, have the same heat, damage and damage spread.
The LRM have slightly (even) better range than the HAG/20, can fire indirectly have the advantage of special ammo (versatility), on the con side the minimum range.

"My" iCLRM10 is roughly comparable to a ATM9. 5t vs. 5t, 4 heat vs. 6 heat, same range for *LRM* missiles, more ammo per ton for the iCLRM (12 vs. 7 shots), ammo selection with damage variety for ATM vs. indirect fire and versatility for iCLRM.

While I'm not a fan of much improved weapons, my suggestions:
1) Minimum range of '6'
2) Tonnage like the IS standard counterpart or a clan streak launcher (2t, 5t , 7t,10t).

Range.

So, in my book, they are improved enough.

Sorry, double-post.

I somehow missed this, but this looks more like the Clan version of ELRMs rather than any kind if iLRM.

Heh. Compared to ATMs, standard Clan LRMs are already too good.

[Luciora]

Clan Streak LRMS would be clan iLRMs in my book.
