But four attack rolls with LRM 5s and only half of those attack rolls even landing a hit and making it to the Cluster Hits phase... is still a lot more missiles hitting the target than a single attack roll with an LRM 20 that misses entirely.



At a given to-hit number the LRM-20 will hit with (marginally) more missiles on average than 4 LRM5s, so it's more accurate.

Similarly, a pulse laser operating at to-hit numbers of 10 (1-in-6 hits) is more accurate than 36 normal lasers operating at to-hit numbers of 12 (1-in-36 hits).

Anyways, on this particular design, he has 6 LRM-20s, not one, so he already has 6 opportunities to hit something. Presuming his 1/2 cruiser doesn't get gibbed by an Inferno Arrow IV beforehand.
