You need to lower your armor if you are LRM boating in an assault. My 733 have ARLM15x4 (60 total) with TAG and 2000 ammo + JJs. Granted, it has near 2/3 of the max armor and moves only around 60 kph but I play very carefully. Still kills less than my meta DS though. PPC+AC = King of killing.
So you are saying LRMs are only situationally powerful, and only shines if the team bringst NARC and the match is on Alpine or Caustic. Blame PGI for making ECM a hard counter to LRMs in the first place.
What I am trying to say is that LRM's combined with Narc is powerful, TAG I don't care much about due to the guy spotting needs to expose himself for the whole flight time of the missiles, the same with LOS.
Narc is the only equipment that can be used over and over again in a match, that allows constant indirect fire even with ECM present, although I think 2 ECM will counter one Narc.
I used Alpine and Caustic as a worst case scenario, as an example, LRM's and Narc will work on any map if it is used correctly.
I also did state that ECM is backwards, ECM according to
http://www.sarna.net...rdian_ECM_Suite is not suppose to be a hard counter to LRM's.
This is why LRM's are not used in 12 mans or league matches, not because they suck, they don't, a coordinated team will be bringing enough ECM to counter the use of LRM's, anyway can't lose a pop tart in exchange for a LRM boat.
Blaming PGI or even discussing the implementation of ECM is useless, Paul feels it is just in the right place, the implementation of ECM in MWO has been discussed to death with no results whatsoever, some of us knows it is broken.
MWO is a mechwarrior flavored game only, not everything works as it is explained in canon, that is why the current ECM is more like a cloaking field, without the see through mechs.
