-ECM is extremely prevalent now acting as a hard counter
-LRM missile speeds is exceedingly slow
-Missile warning makes dodging LRM's a trivial task
-Radar Deprivation is an immediate counter to Adv. Target Decay
I like to run Narc but frankly, I hardly ever see a LRM carrier, and its typically for those four reasons above. So what would bring TAG/Narc back into play (and don't give me the 90M ECM nerf it will do nothing)
NARC: Mechs under those effects have the following:
-Missile speed is double of what it normally
-Torso seeking double the chance to hit the torsos from what it currently is
-If a NARC'd mech gets to ECM, the target lock still applies however the two previous benefits are removed (no double speed, no increased torso hit). In essence, you now have ECM working as it was design to (remove the targeting benefits not preventing hits completely)
TAG: Mechs under those effects have the following:
-Missile speed is double of what it normally
-Torso seeking double the chance to hit the torsos from what it currently is
What effects would you see? LRM's would stand to come back into play. It would make sense for a LRM mech to expose themselves in the open for 3 seconds to get a lock, fire and hit compared to the 6 seconds it takes now on average.
