I don´t want my mech to get b!tchslapped by this one

Meeting this thing around the corner of a building would be a great way to flash your life before your eyes, I'd wager.

Depending on the condition of your mech...
And it´s IFF identity...
No issue if it´s on your side, but if not...

Does it have enough armor to survive contact with the enemy?

Your math is kinda off-ish.
We have 13 launchers, if your statistic with 4 missiles hitting on average out of a 6-tube launcher, we get 52(!) missiles hitting!
They will do a LOT more damage, might be enough do one-shot ASSAULTS!

Is still 64 points of damage, not what you want in your face

I did assume not every missile hits.
There are 13 launchers with 6 missiles firing each, that would be a total of 78 missiles in one salvo, provided the vehicle has the heat reserves for that.
But on average, only 4 out of 6 missiles hit the target, so we´re talking about 52 missiles hitting and 26 missing the target.
SRMs are supposed to be rather precise and reliable to cope with their short range (game balance speaking).
Pete wrote that part himself even.

Nope, those a SRM6 launchers, we´re talking 78 missiles hitting you at 270 meter for 2 points of damage each.
Ok, 78 FLYING at you, not all will hit.

I believe this is what TV Tropes calls the 'Macross Missile Massacre'. Dunno about you, but I'm not getting my mech anywhere near that little beast.

That's a lotta rotary autocannons... Once again, love the little 'military humor' slogans on the barrels.

SRM6 launchers.
78 missiles doing 2 points of damage each.
This is the nightmare of every mechwarrior finding it behind a corner pointed at his mech.
A b!tchslap that might take out heavies and assault class mechs.

Yeesh. Ouch--I think I'm staying on the other side of town now...
(After I typed that comment, the idea that thay could be SRM/LRM 6's came to mind)

Ah.. i answered to the wrong comment

Look like LBX or missile tubes to me. Dunno. You could be right

SRM6 launchers.
It´s a variant of the LRM launcher vehicle.
For short range defense.

Ah thank you, Heretic......wait a moment *cocks bolt pistol*

Yeah, those might also be LRM-5's too. Either way, that's a ludicrous amount of firepower.

Matt stays true to the "what you see is what you get" rule, for which i wholeheartedly salute him.
But not every weapon is easily recognizable and some look fairly similar.
This can lead to some confusions, but i for my part like it since this allows for multiple interpretations.
Freedom in thought, so to speak.

I just love the little 'military humor' slogans on the launchers (SRM-6's, read your other comments, and looked closer). It's so true to real life, and I doubt that fantastically warped sense of humor will ever go away, even in BattleTech's 31st/32nt centuries.

Oh, yes, like on one mech´s Hatchet written "Insert in head" and such comment
It´s such details that make those pictures more than just an illustration of a machine.
They give it a personality and depth it wouldn´t have otherwise.
Bringing them to live, in a sense.

I also really like the comments on the doors of this unit: Comm: LRM carrier update
Imagine walking around the corner and seeing that!

LRMs have a 180 meter minimum range below which they only can arm about every second missile, means you would get about 30 missiles in your face that actually explode.
Still a lot of hurt
