Hey pgi,

may be I am wrong about this but after a whole lot of testruns I have to conclude that it seems like that tag of light mechs has no real noticable effect on srm hit/dmg efficiency. Tested with srm4 mainly but also srm2 in raven 3L build (800+ matches). As passionate player of light mech it is quite frustrating like it is now. Any chance you could correct this if possible?

Thanks in advance.

TAG is not meant to enhance SRMs, Only Artemis. TAG only works on GUIDED Missiles.

[Petard]

Errrr, what?....Tag has NEVER worked with SRM's, in any MW game, ever....

[Silentium]

Did NARC enhance SRMs in TT? it has been decades since I played it last.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Yes it's supposed to. I don't think it does anything here.

[Bifrost Guard]

Yes, Narc enhances the number of SRMs that hit in TT.

Well, SRMs are supposed to be guided, and NARC is supposed to help them. But not TAG.

In TT, yes. Which MW game have they been guided in?

MW3. They follow straight to NARC beacons. All I can think of.

That would be MAGNIFICENT. RUN RUNRUNRUNRUN JUMP JET AND WHEN THE ENEMY LOOKS UP TO SHOOT YOU OUT OF THE SKY, NARC HIM IN THE COCKPIT!

THEN LET LOOSE WITH THE SRMS!

[verybad]

It'd be interesting is SRMs got some guidance if you had a lock, but I can see how they want Streaks to have some meaning.

Who doesn't love a face full of SRMs?

SRM bukkake is one of the best things ever.

[Octavian]

In TT tag only affects idf and certain special lrm and arty ammo.

Weirdly, the CTF seems really vulnerable to this; a few times I've taken a dead center pot shot at one in my 4SP and killed it without expecting to.

the no skill QQ on guided SRMs would be very strong.
personally, am fine with dumbfire.

I think NARC only SRM guidance would be nice. Perhaps like the old streaks, which had a low turn radius and could miss, unlike the current ones.

CORRECTION: MEANT ARE ARTEMIS GUIDED SRM (SRM2/4+ARTEMIS).
My fault and apologies for not being exactly in the first place.
So if tag is supposed to support ARTEMIS guided missiles the effect of this is as I mentioned before near to non existent in regard to light mechs and artemis guided srm. May be u guys of pgi could take a look. Any change to the better would be welcomed.
To all those troll-like replies: The arrogant tone of most replies is not only redicouless but one of the things that keep people from enjoying the game. Beside that its neither use- nor helpful.
Trolls should think about that but I doubt they are able to.
Kind regards

Tag has and should have no effect on artemis guided SRMs. Artemis just makes the SRM pattern tighter.

Use TAG to counter ECM for LRM's and SSRM's.
