I have artimis SRMs equiped to me HBK-4J
I am targeting the enemy mechs.
I am holding my crosshairs over the targeted enemy mech....
Nothing.
The missile lock reticle never even shows up on my screen.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

SRMs don't lock. Artemis just reduces the spread of the volley. Streaks and LRMs lock on.

Yup, what he said.

Just so you know, if you do run lrms or streaks (also called ssrms) you will need to press R to lock your target. Also, pressing R is ALWAYS a good idea. Get into the habit because only then will you know which areas on the enemy mech are mostly damaged and it may be the only way your friendlies know that you're engaging an enemy.

Here are a couple videos that show the game mechanics for all the different missile systems so you can see how the different systems work.
