Dear All,

I have searched the forums and come up with a lot of older articles about NARC and how it works in the current game. What's the latest status of NARC as a piece of equipment? I have just started running light 'Mechs and would like to know if I could get some mileage out of a notably heavy and ammo-light LRM support system.

I run TAG, but sticking my head out, lasing the opposition and then staying in LOS until the missiles hit seems to be more dangerous than the benefit. I would prefer to stick a beacon on the biggest enemy and scarper. Some of the articles I found in the search suggested you needed to maintain LOS for the beacon to work. Is this still the case?

I am aware of the current reputation for LRMs, but I have seen plenty of PUGs where there were a number of missile platforms and they contributed a significant damage total.

Any information, particularly with validated answers, appreciated. Many thanks!

Seek and ye shall find. Balance change to NARC on the 21st. Won't make much difference, it means sacrificing a lot to be able to use it. Friendly ECM still destroys Friendly NARC.

Or in my case - seek and quickly get lost in old material. Thanks for the pointer Koniving. I'll wait until the 21st before I try it out.

I'll be happy when Friendly ECM stops destroying Friendly NARC. Makes it so that the Raven 3-L, which is supposed to carry NARC, is unable to use it without switching to Counter first.
