Mechs that do not move regularly will show up as a target after 30-60s and the more they stay in the same place 50m radius, the better your target signal is.
The target signal will be used to guide lrms, the lower it is, the worse pathfindng your missle has, the higher it is, the better pathfinding you get (being able to actually go over obstacles and maneuver a little bit)

What i hope to achieve with this is to use lrms to force the campers out of whatever mountain they hide behind and the more they camp, the more they're susceptible to the strikes

So what do you think?

Stop playing?
Also that a terrible and shortsighted idea for reasons I don't feel like I should have to explain. Sorry.

although I'm pretty ****** at poptarts these days, this just punishes valid tactics - like lrm guys and any mech that is acting as a lookout
not a fan

Solution:
  • Wait until weight balancing tomorrow.
  • Wait 15 days until the HGN isn't the shiny new toy.
  • Wait until the missile fix in May.
Then see if you still think sniping is a problem.

No. Obsoletes many perfectly legitimate tactics and makes no logical sense.

My tactic for snipers? Move up under cover. Attack them on the run. Many are horrible up close. Use torso twist in between shots LPL to the face. Snipers CAN be countered. Anything can be countered. Don't face their strong point by standing still looking over a hill.

Or you could get into the team chat channel, call out the enemy position, and try to flank?

I mean, who'd want to counter tactics with tactics?
