what is use of "TAG" ??

[Velt]

hii guys i not know how to use a missle ~ what is a "tag" ?? just lock on~ at enemy~

[Dakota]

Its a targetting laser that makes you and teammates lockon to targets faster when using LRMs or SSRMs. It also decreases the spread of LRMs so that they hit the CT more and increases their tracking strength so they better hit moving targets. It also cuts through ECM.

[HighPlains Drifter]

It also speeds up targeting data if I remember correctly.

And while TAG does not stack on it'self (2 tag beams on a target) it does stack with NARC. A mech NARCed and hit with TAG makes a very nice missile target.

Mostly. TAG will lock a target under ECM and makes incoming missiles more accurate.

TAG is the difference between raining and pwning.

No. You can lock targets without it, so it's not mandatory for LRM builds. The bonuses it provides, though, are too good not to have if you have a free hardpoint and 1 ton to spare.

Alternatively, fill all hardpoints on a Hunchback 4P with TAG lasers and point them at enemy cockpits.

So OP.

So wrong... With TAG you make other players "IT" when you use it.... Then you have to hide more than 2 grids away before he can TAG you back which would make you "IT" again if they do..

tag counters ecm. narc does not. ONE ecm will make ONE narc not work. tag is what you use to deactivate enemy ecm

Wrong... Narc will disable a mech's ECM. ECM won't work for a mech while it is Narc'ed... He will have to enter the range of another player's ECM to remove the Narc, or wait until it times out before his ECM will work again...

Also UAV will allow your team to lock onto a mech with ECM... and Tag only will work if you with the tag maintain the Tag on target, and that you yourself aren't being jammed by the target with ECM.. Otherwise your tagging isn't gonna won't be shared with your team while you jammed from the ECM... Enemy ECM will prevent you you from sharing lock info with your team...

Perhaps you should watch this video

Because you seem to not fully understand Sensors/ECM, and everything connected with them..

That's a rather useful video. I've been playing MWO for years. And some of that stuff I didn't know untill now. Thanks.

Knowledge is power... It's in book... So read a book...

TAG is a must for a succesfull artillery mech.
Take a look on the Trial Stalker: 4 LRM 10, a TAG and some Med-Lasers.

If the Stalker pilot has a line of sight to an enemy mech he can paint it with the TAG, speeding up the Targeting for his LRMs and all other LRM Mechs.

TAG is also a nice addition to a sneaky scout... get behind enemy lines, TAG them, request via VOIP "need LRMs on Target X" and watch the rain (works best if you play in a group with Teamspeak).

TAG is also a nice benefit for Mechs with STREAK SRMs.

More obscure uses of TAG:
As targetting help for a Gauss Rifle. Put it in the same firing group and press fire.
TAG icon appears over Target ? Release the fire button.
No TAG icon over Target ? Adjust your aim until the Icon appears.
But mounting a ER-Large Laser next to the Gaus and watching the hit indicator works too...
