And how do you make use of them?

I used to when playing hard to level stuff because of the xp gain, but to be honest its too much hassle to keep reloading them after every match.

Um... it's the same... Nothing has changed...

Great if the enemy team have ecm or a lot of lrms. Gives a window of opportunity for your team to counter and gain spatial awareness of the enemy mech locations. Well placed can gain a lot of xp.

Know a few player that use them well with spotting and narc to gain a lot of xp and c-bills (>200k) without getting much damage or kills - purely for the support role

Due to the lower speed ceiling for Clan mechs, you can't use them in all the same ways as you can with IS mechs- or at least not as easily. OTOH other ways of using it (generally involving you accepting a suboptimal or potentially suboptimal results) are largely unaffected.

Why not use a UAV and Tag, since Tag gives the same bonus as Narc with infinite ammo and longer range?

Tag requires constant facing the mechs, my poor poor adder would explode just from the angry stares. Plus uav are very useful for build that people that don't like fun call troll builds (flammer or mg), as at least you can spot an entire team for a few seconds.

It is also the easiest way to call for help when they are out there to steal your din dins.

Not without having my master slot open yet.

^This.

TAG screams "were over here!!!" A well placed narc at the right time and a mech that does not appear as much of a threat or an easy target can be much more successful. The guys I had in mind use TAG, but always go for NARC first for these benefits. Whatever you can do to make yourself as lower priority target as possible

[Khobai]

Its hard to justify using UAV when Artillery is so much better.

I personally think you should get two UAVs per consumable slot.

Not with clan mechs having 2 module slots till they are mastered. Because all you lrm nut jobs out there those are taken up by radar dep and target info gathering

OTOH your Adder now has a flamer AND Narc.
