Basically, add a pilot tree skill or make a weapon variant where LRMs change from the direct path missile to a dramatic arc, striking the target from above. It would travel for twice the time, but would only be blocked by overhead cover.

Why? Because currently LRMs are blocked by any mole hill. Even if you have a spotter, you can't shoot through the hill. If you had the skill, all your LRMs would travel in a dramatic arc to land on top of your target. Of course this ONLY works with a spotter, but if you have incoming it may be from above. Move! I think this would be a poor choice for a boat, but in a mixed load-out it could be a highly effective weapon to suppress a turtled enemy if you've got your scouts spotting for you.
