Best Answer from Aidan Crenshaw :

- For friendly team (excluding yourself) : Provides direct LOS benefits to any of their indirect LOS LRMs, ATMs and Streaks.

- Against foe team (equipped with ECM) : Cancels up to 1 of their ECMs while kept pointed at one.

- For yourself : Provides a revealing borg like flashlight bolt-on.

TAG does nothing but counters ECM now. It provides zero benefits to tracking, lock time or spread.

i always felt that tag was weak even before they changed it. i still prefer the living legends way.

That's true for your own mech. But for a missile carrier without LOS to the tagged unit, that unit will count as in LOS towards the lock-on time (for IDF for example).
Thus, TAG has only an effect on:

• LRM
  
• ATM
  
• Streak SRM

Question answered. Thank you.

Nope, TAG on itself does not induce a spread reduction. Being in LOS or counting as being in LOS does.
TAG on your own 'Mech only does two things:

• Make an ECM-shielded 'Mech targetable for yourself and everyone else
  
• Make a 'Mech count as in LOS for everyone (from which only ATMs and LRMs profit)

I can think of 8 missile systems in MWO :
- ATM
- LRM
- LRM+artemis
- MRM
- Rocket Launcher
- SRM
- SRM+artemis
- Streak
The initial TAG used to work on up to ~7 of them until 2018...

Yeah, TAG those SRMs baby!

LOL, ridiculous.

That's why I put a question mark at the end of my question : What does TAG do to the Streaks that you listed as your third weapon affected by the TAG ?

The effect is rather theoretical. A Streak SRM will acquire locks faster on a tagged target out of LOS. Of course, due to the flight path of S-SRMs you can't fire them out of LOS. But, theoretically, you could hide out of LOS, acquire lock on a tagged unit and then move into LOS while maintaining the lock to fire as soon as you have a clear path.

Shooo, get lost, didn't you read the first line of my initial thread up there, because you're the perfect illustration of it's polar opposite ?

And it's not like you could tell the difference between a 8 and a ~7 even if someone pointed it out to you...

There's a reason your abysmal level of ignorance is demonstrated right down into my signature, now go get a lock from 999m or something, because your presence is dumbing another thread down and this time it's my thread.

No, he is just right, can't remember TAG affecting MRM, SRM and RL, so that's 4 out of 8....

Yeah yeah, TAG those ASRMs and MRMs harder.

Last time I've checked this is a public forum. Hence I will stay right where I am and will continue to point out all the utter clueless BS you are claiming. Oh and unlike you I do full quotes and don't need to take phrases out of context or claim that smb said smth when they never did.

True. TAG never affected deadfire missiles. Only Lock-ons.

My turn to troll back PhoenixFire555 :

- Humble Dexter trolling : PhoenixFire555 is by far the dumbest troll I met on this forum, because he said 2+3=6.

- PhoenixFire555 : Wait, I'm not dumb.

- Supporter : No, Humble Dexter is just right, I can't remember that 2+3=6, so PhoenixFire555 is dumb for having said that.

Well, since you are stupid enough to insist ...

~7 means anything between 1 and 10. Given you had 8 options to begin with, what you've said with your ~7 is that you literally have no clue how many.

But please, keep amusing us with just how clueless you actually are.

[Willard Phule]

So....how are those tagged MRMs and Rocket Launchers working out for you? Not holding the lock the way you thought, oh mighty elite, world class LRM master?

As usual you are wrong. How can you have played so many games and have zero clue about a game?

TAG will speed up lock time for allies.

TAG affects all lock on weapons.

Strange...

You've got Humble talking about Lockons, the only weapon system he uses.
DeeEight posting incorrect garbage as usual.
A bunch of people laughing at the pair of them.


Seems rather normal to me?
