Remember that currently there are just two spread values, one for LRM5/10 and one for LRM15/20. Few months ago there were four but PGI changed things and LRM5 has spread of old LRM10 while LRM20 has spread of old LRM15.

I'm glad they made that change. Made me reequip dual alrm20 on my catapult. With jump jets, its fairly easy to get los right before impact. Don't us as much ammo cause 1) target is getting cored out instead of taking damage on legs and arms and 2) 2 alrm20's fired at the same time busts through ams nicely. Saw chained fired lrm5's disappear with no damage on target cause of ams and yet the pair of 20's were landing 30pts or more damage each salvo.

yes and no, Narc and Artimis dont stack, but they do preform simularly,
if a mech is Narc'ed and you have Artimis and hit them with your missiles you dont gain the Artimis bonuses,
but you still gain all the Narc Bonuses, so they dont stack but they also dont cancel each other out,

not 100% on Spread Stats, sorry
Narc = -30% Spread,
Artimis(LOS) = -30% Spread,
Tag(LOS) = -20% Spread,

Tag(LOS) + Narc = -50% Spread,
Tag(LOS) + Artimis(LOS) = -50% Spread,
Tag(LOS) + Narc + Artimis(LOS) = -50% Spread,

That's what I said. Hitting a narced target with Artemis LRM is the same as shooting that same mech with regular LRM. You just get the same narc bonuses.
