Hi!

Just regarding the TAG.

What is the difference between Tag an no Tag on a LRM boat?

And i case of a stalker, i can setup 4* lrm20 or 3* lrm 20 (+ Artemis) + lrm 15 (+ Artemis) to compensate the additional tonnage for artemis. But what is better and why?

TAG improved the spread of LRMs when they hit the target.
TAG also allows ECM shrouded mechs to be targeted and locked at up to 750m away.

Artemis also improves spread (both LRM and SRM), but only works on direct fire.

Any LRM based mech should currently be carrying a TAG, no questions. Artemis is optional.

Artemis makes srm's spread less over longer distances, so more missiles will hit the target rather than veer off and miss. still requires aiming though.

I find Artemis to be more useful for SRMs than LRMs. It's much more difficult (in a pug match, at least) to keep a line of sight lock on an enemy that's far away, and Artemis doesn't work when the enemy is out of LOS.

TAG is always a good idea for an LRM boat to find space for, though, for the reason One Medic Army stated.
