I know that TAG will allow us to Spot/lock enemies hidden under ECM but i was wondering if it works as a direct Cancel, like if it will give back the Artemis Bonus, the regular lock-on time and such.

Or if its a simple spot marker.

Yes. It cancels.

Sounds kind of annoying to have to carry a weapon around for the sole purpose of countering ECM.

The devs post says you can target enemy mechs, bur says nothing about Artemis bonus and lock-on time, while those 2 are listed as benefits granted by ECM. Thats why i ask if TAG cancels all ECM benefits or just allows targeting?

If you are not being disrupted by an enemy ECM, any hidden Mech on the other team that you hit with a TAG laser will be revealed as if it wasn’t being hidden.

It takes twice as long to achieve a missile lock against a hidden Mech.
Artemis IV does not provide any bonuses against hidden Mechs.

Since the no Artemis/double lock-time benefit only apply to "hidden" mechs, it's a pretty strong implication that TAG completely cancels the benefit.
