Currently, all mechs in mwo act like they have a free C3i computer.

A change that would make inner sphere have an advantage over clans, and make LRMs a respectable weapon:

First step -- Remove how targets are shared now. Each mech has its own individual targeting, and targeting a mech does not share it with your team.
In order to indirectly LRM a target, or even track it, you would need a UAV or someone to TAG or NARC it.

Second step -- Add C3 master and slave units to the inner sphere.

C3 master computer weighs 5 tons and takes 5 crit slots, and shares all targets it has with friendlies that have C3 Slave units onto the minimap with directional indicators (Not target-able).

However,
The target that a C3 master has directly locked acts as if it is TAG'd for all friendlies that have C3 Slave units.

C3 Slave units weigh 1 ton and take 1 crit slot.

C3 Slave units can share information back but do not have integrated auto-tag.


Tl;DR:

Move automatic target sharing to inner sphere C3 computers, that share minimap blips and also the c3 master auto-tags direct target, and keep the manual target sharing of narc and tag.

Nope. if the game has magical level of accuracy it can handle advanced target sharing. When the targeting computer helps you target then i would consider changing LRM targeting. LRM's are easy to counter as it is.
