So weapons in arms more accutate...by how much?

[MythTrip]

So the weapons in your arms are more accurate...by how much? What percent? I am trying to balance between more accuracy and higher chance of getting arm shot off

Use your starting Blackjack and read the % hit with a mouseover.

Arm accuracy bonus is five percent (5%).

Matters less for lasers which can get nice accuracy bonuses in the + versions and start with a built-in bonus on the vanilla versions. Definitely helpful for LRMs and ballistics. I keep my heavier mechs' arms intact by always facing with the least damaged flank, but if it's the Gauss rifle, it is a risk you might not want to take (also I think Gauss is hyper-accurate already). Sometimes all it takes is a ton of LRMs from mechs you didn't have on sensors until reinforcements triggered to start taking arm crits.

Lasers with bonus accuracy in arms is the bane for fast light mechs.

You could have found this answer at any time by looking at the hit numbers. The arm weapons are always 5% higher.

It's a problem with Myth, he'd rather post on the forums for other people to serve him rather than look it up for himself. He even had a post up on how would he know if he hit the enemy when even one combat in the game would tell you when you see damage numbers floating up.

On arm weapons, I've checked a couple of guides but couldn't the info on this question.

If you have an arm shot off do you lose any weapons that were on it for good?
Or do you get them back at the end of the battle if you win?

Cheers.

Unfortunately you lose them totally. It's the risk you take for the accuracy bonus.

That was what I figured, cheers for the info :)
