I have no clue how well this build will work since I have not tried it yet. Will most definitely couple it with the advanced decay module. Let me know your thoughts.
Hey Dei, i will give your build a try! Is the TAG for supporting your Teams Missiles, or is it mostly for yourself tagging for the SSRMs? As a support-tool for the Team i can go with that, but in my experience its not really awesome to rely on TAG to get a Lock with the SSRMs. If you are not sticking to the MPlas what about that: - Switch 2 MPlas to 3 Mlas (slight increase in DPS, Alpha & Range) - Moved SSRM-ammo to the legs - Shaved 17 points of armor to install a BAP with the leftover ton from the Laser-switch Still capable at hunting lights and you are not that messed up against ECM with the streaks.
My intent was to use Tag primarily for myself and team assist secondly. I have not used Tag enough to know how it functions exactly but I was under the impression that it allows for the targeting of mechs that have ECM. I could be wrong, which is why I said I have no idea how well it works. If countering the ECM requires a BAP, I will definitely use it (and switch my 2 mpl to 3 spl). A note on the medium lasers: While the DPS is slightly higher and the range is 90 meters longer, the MPL delivers all of its damage over a .6 second burst vs a 1 second burst for the ML. Given my dexterity, I find that I am more effective with the pulse laser since I only have hold a bead on my target for .6 seconds.
One thing is very evident, I need to learn how to use SSRMs while navigating a light. I managed to rack up quite a bit of damage (400 - 500) on the couple of matches I played but my awareness of my surroudings suffered so I died prematurely.
Your impression on TAG is correct! TAG completely nullifies targets ECM, if the beam is held on the target from beyond the ECM's range. Countering ECM doesn´t require a BAP, but you don´t have to exactly point a tagging-laser onto the target. I just feel BAP is more comfortable at very close ranges when ic comes to SSRM-lock on. Regarding the Pulse-Lasers i´m completely with you. How bout that? - switched the MPLas to SPLas - switched XL300 to XL295 - added BAP Maybe you have a XL295 for it´s the best Engine for Raven 3Ls and i personally find, its a great engine for all the Jenners, you only lose 2 kph with tweak and win half a ton which you almost can´t shave everywhere else. 2 Kph for 0,5 tons is a imho great deal, if you want to fit something specific.
