I'm getting the impression some people were going through virtual shell-shock. Which might happen again after twelve salvos into the same area.
Regardless things should be interesting.

I've been a little disappointed in their current iteration, because even though blowing up Madrugars and turret installations is mad fun, it's been hella disappointing to fire a salvo into a clumped up group of reds, and barely get one kill out of it. There should have been flying body parts everywhere! How do you bunny hop out of a shockwave?!
Looking mad forward to these 1.7 missiles.
Take a gander at each other's posts there while I elucidate on a few things...
Back about a Year ago, small missile and small blasters were ACCURATE while on a moving vehicle (now they fire from a point outside the gun equivalent to putting a Rigid Rope from Gary's Mod, eliminating gravity pull and having inertia dictate 100% of where the rope's end will be hence they cannot be accurately fired unless nearly completely still)
On top of that accuracy, the explosives radius was ACTUAL. What do I mean? If you read that an explosive had a radius of 1m, it would be a radius of 1 meter making the target area about 2 meters wide.
Now, however, if you read an explosive from a vehicle has a 1 meter radius, you know it has a ONE FOOT DIAMETER (that's one foot wide... see what CCP did?).
This was a result of dropships using small missiles to become the Air superiority of choice Of course, they then messed with explosives radius and completely screwed over the blast radius on most devices.
Large missiles are also known to be wildly inaccurate. Why? Because they were built with the OLD EXPLOSIVES mechanism in place. Don't' expect to be blasting infantry down everywhere. You only have 10 shots... 16 with ammo boosters.
If you can read this, it means you are reading.
Unless you are skimming
