(I knew this day would come once they put in dynamic tubes... just sad to see one of my builds destroyed and the feedback is not serious enough to go in Patch Feedback)

My TBT-7M "Lurmisher" used the NARC tube to stream an LRM 5. It was originally a joke (and an LRM 15) but it turned out that 5 single missiles can do some very useful things, while conserving ammo for the big launchers. It could help "scout" over hills by triggering AMS systems of concealed mechs, psych the enemy out with the constant LRM warning, or serve as a tracer for the LRM 30 barrages. But now, like on other, lesser missile using mechs, the LRM 5 is reduced to firing all at once.

I'll miss you, single-tube launcher.

Not a very future-proof "feature". Do you think an AMS toggle is never going to be added?

Ah yes the "tracer fire" build. The 7M is my baby and I'd have fun throwing an LRM 20 in there for lulz at times but to be honest it was pretty useless. Now if there was a way we got to choose between single and multi tube in the mech bay that would be awesome because I'd love to experiment with an all single tube build that spammed a constant stream of SRM2s.
