Arty and airstrike sorta.
LRMs are not. Shooting someone with direct fire and stripping all their CT armor so the next time the peek out they die is better suppression than a missile warning I dictator that doesn't hurt them. LRMs are a bad support weapon, because there is no "support" weapons. Just weapons. Good weapons on a mech able to deploy them is the most useful application if tonnage.
Blowing a ST off the instant a guy tries to leave cover is better suppression than hoping he'll fall back into cover due to missile warning after he's shot an alpha or two.

I can't say that I like it, but you are right, pure, precise damage is best in this game.
