I used Tag on polar with a stealth mech and 2 strange things occurred. I taged like hell in the missile storm and shot some ATMs on my own. Did about 700dmg most with tag and ping was ok.

First I met a Fafnir that was untageble. Yes i taged him and nothing happend. No locks, no break of ECM, nothing happend. I was at 300m so tag should work. When i recognized it i tried it desperatley with exposing myself for a longer durration. Nothing! Even when I got close and put my ECM on counter nothing happend to the ECM cover of that Fafnir. Bug? Cheat?

And second the Game registered 10 tag damage for the event at the end. 10! I alone did more then 700dmg with 80% tag and i taged missile storms on other mechs! How can that be 10 tag damage?

Anyone else experienced that?

10 tag damage means you successfully tagged 10 times that led to your target getting damaged with missiles, not that you did 10 damage.

I know but the event page registered only 10 more tag damage not the end screen.

No idea then, maybe it is bugged.

Oh even better! The event page register that I did about 1200dmg (done with ~70% with tag) in 2 games and got 19 tag damage registered! I think the event log does not count the damage but the frequency of a successfull tag damage. Even then it doesn`t work out because I taged way more.

Thx for the quick reply. Yeah can't explain that too. Maybe it is a bug or PGI messed up the event score count with the tag damage. But that uberstealth ECM Fafnir? 2HG+ammo and 5 lasers leaves no room for stealth armor. Really no clue.

Just to be clear, successful tagging means from the start to the end. Tag, missiles launched, hold Tag untill missiles hit. Loosing tagging inbetween that and no tag bonus will apply. Well, only if that had not been changed in the meantime.

Aye thats what i did. I was sitting in the back of the enemy team and taged constantly one target till it was destroyed in the missile storm. Then the next. The tag sign was visable all the time on the target.

Well then it might just be bugged and not register correctly at the end. Not the first time events are buggy.

I believe the end screen Tag Damage Bonus also only counts for others damage. Not your own damage.

[Tiewolf]

Ok did a third game. Now i can confirm that the registred end screen tag damage count = the event dmg count for me.

So the event count for tag damage seems to be bugged for me or PGI really wants you to tag 500 times!

I have the same problem as the OP. TAG damage isn't properly registered, it seems
