So, I ran my HR12 KS today after shelving it for a while and discovered to my horror that I can't crank my torso to the side anymore to get the arching side and rear shots. The lock breaks as soon as my crosshairs leave the targeting brackets.

Is this a nerf?

I definitely had the same problem with my HR16s - so glad I've been putting my A-Coins towards doubling my 12s lately 😮‍💨. For now I'm assuming it is a bug in yesterday's update and not a nerf. But I haven't heard anything specific.

My clan leader responded yesterday that she didn't see anything wrong. Edit Still happening...opened a ticket.

There is a lot of complaints on FB about this issue, Paylarium haven't mentioned anything so it's a guess this is yet another bug to add to the list.

Funny thing is I'm not seeing any issues myself after updating so it is very strange.

Its late,i need sleep,but just one more game

Ok, so if it's not affecting everyone, then it likely isn't a nerf. I can live with that. Lets see what they come back with on my ticket.

I actually don't use my HR12 very much anymore cause Stefania is maxed and when I run this build, it pumps up my SP past 1100, which I've noticed gives me some unbalanced matches. So, I mostly just run NL12 on Aegis. I only pull out the HR12 build for those pesky "kill 4 mechs in 1 game without incurring damage" tasks. I probably will switch back to RM12 for these tasks in the future.

Paylarium have officially announced on a FB comment that this is a bug and they are "actively working on it". They recommend switching targeting to wide target assist until they fix it.

Games I played today definitely are not affected and I could bend the missles as normal.

Also of note Paylarium announced the next new shiny version of Helix Rack, no name as of yet but will probably be more OP the Helix so get saving up for it.

Maybe:

Cruise Missile Rack
Cylconic Rack
Nuclear Rack
Zapmatic Rack
Aphid Rack....wait...
