As of the time of this thread, is it still worth it? Honestly only found outdated and contradictory information to the point where...well Im not sure whats the point of artemise anymore...
What they do affect? What they do not affect? What other equipment they work better well with? I feel like I need this kind of information in orderto optimize my loadout, otherwise Im missing out on getting the best out of any mech or weapon.
It improves Spread. You'll find some old stuff saying it improves lockon time, but it doesn't anymore.
Since you pay a flat 1 ton and 1 slot per launcher, it's only really worthwhile on the largest launchers.
It is worth it on SRM 6's for both Clan and IS. SRM 4's and 2's not really as their spread is decent.
For LRMS, its worth it on IS LRM20's but not essential. You'll notice the spread difference vs lights and mediums, but you'll mostly be shooting heavies and assaults with LRMs. Generally you want more tubes if you have the choice.
For Clan its a harder choice since generally you're better off just running more launchers instead of spending the weight on Artemis. Generally it is not worthwhile.
The only good LRM build that uses it is probably the Catapult C1 since it only has 2 hardpoints anyway.
