They serve very little purpose otherwise. I would not put one on a King Crab - It should not be carrying lock-on missiles.

That being said I need big damage for enemy assaults, still gotta be useful on the front lines.

People have been doing a lot of MRM40 or MRM30 x2 it seems. The bigger the MRM rack, the more weight efficient it is. Dunno how well it will fit on a gunboat KCrab though. Maybe LFEs spare enough weight.

Take the TAG, if you can spare the tonnage.
Bombast and Seranov are both right in that your primary weapons shouldn't be missiles but they're wrong on not taking TAG. Taking it has a major benefit stat-mongers hate:
It encourages your team to focus fire, a tagged target has a nice little icon saying "shoot me" and doesn't drop off the radar whilst you're engaging it. Front line units will have a clear bead on who to target when they pop and LRM users (if any are present) will naturally gravitate towards tagged targets for the accuracy bonus.
In a KCrab you're not going to have the luxury of popping in and out of cover so you may as well encourage your team mates to attack who you're attacking because there's a good chance the enemy will be shooting at you. You'll probably miss out on some damage and kills personally but when your team is winning you'll end up with a higher average than if you try to solo kill everything alone.

The problem with this is you might be the only one who knows which target is Bravo. It's something I hate about how people target call in MWO...'Echo, Battlemaster, CT open.' Okay, which one is that? How many times do I have to press 'R' to get to it from my current target? Nobody ever says, 'Echo, grid Delta-4, extreme right end of our line.' They just yell 'Echo...shoot ECHO!' over and over again and wonder why they don't get any help. I'd prefer that people be specific when calling targets, but a TAG might still be better than calling only the phonetic. Point taken about the torso twisting, but you don't have to keep the TAG on during the twist.
