Last i recall tag shortens lock on time for missiles ,but you have to keep the tag on and pointed at the target, from what i recall tag will disable ecm for you for the duration it is pointed at an ECM mech I don't know if it cancels stealth armor but I think it allows you to target a mech with stealth armor double check me on that

I imagine tag still works within ECM range but I'm willing to guess that if your in ECM range your Tag will only allow you to target an ECM mech as ECM probably blocks the out going signal to your allies, could be wrong on that, but pretty


Narc on the other hand will never work on an ecm mech because the narc will be blocked by the ECM were as Tag does work on ecm mechs if your outside the range I think someone should do some testing on that.



Personally I never use Clan Streaks anymore since they reduced their damage awhile back...

Tag is very useful for close range missiles like streaks and ATMs to get a quick lock on or to cut through ECM.

For me personally it's not usually worth spending a energy slot and one ton for it, but that doesn't mean it's not useful i've just not found a good use for it.


Some misinformation sticks like tares. So:

1 - TAG does not disable ECM. It makes the painted target lockable. An active enemy ECM within 120m will leave your TAG non-functional
2 - TAG does reduce missile lock time only for target not in LOS, the tagging unit is always in LOS though, and lock time doesn't get ay faster than that.
3 - An active probe does not reduce missile lock time, except minimally for IDF locks because it increases your sensor-range

4 - TAG does not work when you are in "Low Signal" - mode, aka inside an enemy 120m ECM bubble
5 - NARC disables the ECM on a narc'ed mech, but gets supressed when the target mech is inside another friendly ECM bubble.
