Aside from the eternally unanswered question of how various combinations of artemis, tag, and narc interact with one another...

1: Did they implement the latest Narc changes slated for today

2: Do I still have to maintain LOS to a target I've Narced?

AFAIK, the only change made was to make NARC counter ECM. Everything else has not happened yet... the only future change to be made is the range...

I have no idea... I don't use it.

If they at least removed the latter "feature" I could see myself Narc trolling with a stealthy Raven.

If this post is correct...

Question 2 would be no.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to maintain LOS once the target has been hit with the NARC, however, I haven't used it in some time due to its extremely slow speed (hard to hit anything smaller than an Atlas), and low ammo count per ton.

The only future change is to add the 50-75% missing features of the original NARC... as in the auto-seek SRM/LRM functionality. That's why ECM shuts off NARC in TT along with the beacon sticking to the mech indefinitely.

Of course you have to, I tested this just yesterday in the training grounds... you still have to hold LOS, this hasn't been fixed yet!

Well, a lot of stuff doesn't work properly in the Training Grounds. I'm not sure if this is conclusive.

Still, if they'd fixed that bug you'd think they'd have put it in the Patch Notes, and there's nothing there on NARC.

As sad as it is, I think they view that as working as intended rather than as a bug.
