I've seen this done before, but I've got no idea how to do it. Can anyone tell me how? I'm not talking about firing one launcher at a time - I'm referring to squeezing off one missile at a time - the missile counter practically goes down by 1 every shot. It isn't chain fire. It's some added feature or sumthin?

Some 'Mechs have a single tube launcher, designed for NARC missiles. If you put a larger missile pack in that slot, the missiles will fire one at a time. I'm certain Koniving will show you his video - the one with the cavalry charge and the Raven firing off an LRM20 one at a time.

Toss a lrm into the narc slot on a mech. A trebuchet and raven-3l have a narc tube and im sure others do (stalker 5m does but the narc tube changes for what weapons you use and fires all at once instead of singular) YW

The amount of missiles an LRM fires in each volley is based on the amount of holes available on the missile hardpoint to which it's attached. The amount of holes varies for each hardpoint on each mech, and some variants have missile hardpoints with one hole designed for a NARC. You can take out the NARC and put in an LRM, and when you fire the LRM it will fire one missile at a time until it has fired the amount of missiles associated with the LRM (5, 10, 15, or 20).

You need to place an LRM into a 1 slot tube. If you look at mech stock loadouts (or browse them on smurfys) you can find the mechs with NARC launchers. Those mechs all have a single tube that can give you the results you're looking for.

Off the top of my head the Raven 3L, Trebuchet 7M, and Stalker 5M can do this.

This also works with SRMs, I believe.

"NARC" launcher slot of any mech that comes with it stock.
