Make Artemis LRMs ground-hugging as described in Battle Tech since they are using a Line of Sight targeting system.

"The Artemis IV Fire Control System is a guidance system that utilizes an infrared laser designator and tight-beam microwave transmitter which improves the accuracy of LRMs, SRMs, and MMLs by roughly thirty-five percent."

So there is no reason Artemis LRMs would arc so high in the sky as standard LRMs. It would help to balance LRMs vs direct-fire. It would allow LRMs to be used in areas with overhead objects which is fair to all and creates a more competitive game.

That description does not in any way invoke the idea of ground hugging missiles. That being said, it would be interesting to see them attempting to roughly follow the shape of terrain from a hundred or so meters up when Artemis is equipped and LOS is held.
