So the quirk is +15sec +100M range, for a weapon that has the velocity of 500 compared to an AC/10 that has a velocity of 950.

Is it me or can you say EPIC FAIL for a quirk and did anyone not test this? If they wanted to do Narc for the 3L, set the velocity to 950 to match the AC/10 at least.

If anyone played a 3L and went for a dedicated narc role, you know the enemy mech has to be standing still at 400M OR you have to close, tag a ton and run and pray you don't get legged. At the most you can do 2 or 3 tag runs and its over and you do little to no damage.

At least if Narc on the 3L had the velocity of an AC/10 it could hit moving targets reliably at 400M to make it a worthwhile add on for the tonnage.

I... get used to it, and lead the narc?

It's not like you have to target a specific component.

If the little knob you launch touches the mech and you see wifi, mission accomplished, now move on.

Not something to fling at lights. I can ping atlas and direwhales just fine at 500m.

Anyone can hit a 100 tonner with any weapon that has a range at 500m, even LRM's can hit at 500m on an Atlas/Whale. Now try using that Narc on a Med or a fast Heavy and you'll see the problem. NARC has the range of an AC/10 and HALF, count it HALF of the velocity of an AC/10. Do you understand the problem now?

I have no problems with current Narc projectile speed.

Ive never had any trouble either. In fact is more than fast enough. With enhanced narc module it is even faster and even without the module I had no trouble hitting even moving targets.

It's meant to be a tracking device. You can't have it slams against a much and explode like a weapon round does lol.

Don't bother dude, this community has downs.

Why exactly is an ac10 being used for comparison. They are more closely related to an srm. Compared to that they go slightly faster at twice the range.

He'll we are talking about a raven 3l. I don't think they even have a ballistic slot.
