Is Artemis worth it MWO?
Generally, it’s not worth it unless you want a tighter damage spread. My basic rule of thumb is that: 1. If you are mounting more than 2 missile racks, there is no point with artemis as it is an additional 1 ton per launcher.
What does Artemis do in MWO?
Artemis IV FCS is an advanced targeting system that can be attached to Long Range Missile and Short Range Missile launchers. It cannot be attached to either NARC Beacon or Streak Short Range Missile launchers. Improves the lock-on-time and tracking strength of LRMs by 50%.
What does Artemis 4 do?
Artemis IV simply adds a +2 to the cluster hit roll for when the missile salvo hits its mark. The system works with all types of missile launcher LRM, SRM, and MML included, provided the missile ammunition is Artemis Capable.
What does Artemis do for SRM?
Artemis simply provides a bit tighter grouping for the missiles, thus making more of them hit close to same spot. It does also allow more missiles to hit the target.
How does tag work in Battletech?
TAG has its own special phase, in which it must be fired immediately after the movement phase, but before the actual fire phase. The weapon to hit is identical to any other standard laser weapon. If the TAG hits, the target is tagged for any potential allied homing missiles, artillery and shells to target.
How does tag work Mechwarrior 5?
Target Acquisition Gear is an infrared laser for the purpose of guiding LRMs onto the target, thereby increasing the hit rate and damage, while also reducing lock on time.
How long does a Narc Beacon last?
20 seconds
The beacon will stay active for 20 seconds before the homing signal stops. NARC Beacon Missiles are an unguided missile much like SRMs, so care will be needed to land a successful hit on a target. This is especially important when considering the low number of missiles per ton carried by the Narc Beacon (12).
How does ECM work in Battletech?
The ECM Equipment is a defensive upgrade, primarily against LRMs and secondarily against everything but melee. It grants ‘stealth’ charges in an AoE field around the ‘mech carrying it. Max 2 charges for the carrier, and max 1 for all allied, non-structure units, NPCs included.

An LRM’s minimum range is 180m, below which the damage decreases to nearly nothing at point blank range.
What is a tag in Mechwarrior 5?
Target Acquisition Gear (TAG)

The tracking strength of the NARC does stack with the TAG’s tracking bonus, but does not stack with the Artemis IV FCS’s bonus. The beacon will stay active for 20 seconds before the homing signal stops.
What is a beacon missile?
The Narc Missile Beacon is a missile homing utility that can be planted on enemy targets, causing friendly SRMs and LRM missiles (even those that do not traditionally have homing capabilities) to lock on to them. They are particularly useful when used in tandem with LRMs.
