I propose that LRMs should be able to fire while using the map mode. Let any LRM equipped mech place a marker on the map, then hit their LRM weapon groups to fire at that marker.

This would:

• Only work with the map open, and only for the LRMs. The missiles would fly far up to clear any obstacles, then come back down at a steep angle.
  
• NOT generate an incoming missile warning, but it would be fairly susceptible to AMS fire (long flight time)
  
• Allow more tactical maneuvers with LRM equipped mechs, and would be able to break "sieges."
  
• Promote team play with Grid coordinates guiding the indirect map fire.
  
• NOT benefit from TAG or Artemis, but could be used to get missiles in the air for a NARC beacon.

They haven't been implemented yet, but the SWARM LRM weapon hits the place you fire it at rather than tracking the mech.

That sounds like a bad thing, until you learn that on Mech Commander 2 on EASY mode two or three hits by them leg a mech :3
