This is why NOBODY wants to perform the scout/support roll. You don't even get rewarded for it.

Spotting, Tag/Narc... all these don't count in your book?

It simply means team has to hit the NARC person for me to get the reward. I played other games where there were NO LRMs in my team too. The NARC hits were virtually useless and no rewards for it.

The same spotting rewards as with a TAG... that's how it is supposed to work.

Assist only count when your opponent DIES.. It is not a given.

And spotting rewards only count when other team members hit the target you helped to get a lock for. What's you point?

... forward scouts who can't afford to do anything except NARC and run. It's extremely risky and helps the team a lot - NARC users deserve the assist credit. Remember that if they continue hitting with lasers, too, they only get the one assist credit.

So with NARC fixed in this patch, suddenly one of the only things what Lights can do any more, is to mount a 5 ton NARC system and remove most laser weaponry?
You know what else Lights could do instead with so many LRM Mechs currently running around? Attack the missile launchers with something else than a NARC...

I wanna see you take a light mech with only NARC-ing to help the TEAM in mind. At the end of it.. Go ask yourself whether you got rewarded for the amount of risk yourself into.

So, with the success of the whole "TEAM" in mind, why do YOU want more praise, besides all the other rewards you already get for scouting?

Why are telling me stuff I already know ?
I am challenging to a task and to video clip of yourself getting in light and mainly NARCing mech and tell.. Oh yes.. All that work and this little reward... Is worth it...

.... You know what I just read the last few posts...
My analysis reads a troll seeking attention with empty arguments.... Going to deny you that... Ignored.. (No need to bother with my challenge anymore)

I can ignore people who behave like children and yell "Troll !" the moment they read something they don't agree with? Awesome!
You and I might have done something, we both got a benefit from.

You have clearly never dropped with a coordinated 12 man. 2 scout mechs with tag or narc and 10 missle boats. 800 missile alpha's on a single target? GG.

Sadly not in a very very long time... Hiaz.. Would like too though.. The tension is different..
Strategy against that ?
1. Your scouts needs to detect this 12 man deployment earlier.. ECM probably helps.
2. Location known position known... Your scout go after their scouts.. As well as distraction..
3. The rest of the team man to man tactics... LRMs hard pressed to get with a mech nailing them..
4. GG.. (Information from scouting is extremely important in 12 mans.)
That how I would do it tactics wise...
Lastly... Any small map.. Maybe except canyon... GG getting that to work all the time.

I think last 12 man drop was with those toxic lords people months back.. They just ram through everything like a sledgehammer with META ballistics mechs.. Was kinda boring.

ummm you could, you know. swipe them with a medium laser when the lrms are raining on their heads. then they won't notice the extra dmg from you.
