I'm pretty sure I haven't used LRMs in a mech smaller than a Heavy since 2019. :D
(well, besides the LRM5's in the starting mechs, or in NPC mechs like the VIP Griffin. But I don't have a choice in that.)

Agreed - mass LRMs don't feel viable to me until 45 tubes at least, which is possible but very painful on mediums. I often don't bother with LRMs until I have a suitable assault.

Plus i'm not a big fan of ballistic weapons early on either as LRMs give you an edge for AVOIDING damage completely. ( little {no orange} or no damage = no repairs so max cash for you)

Not necessarily - what a spotter and LRM combo does in practice is concentrate fire on your spotter. This does work on average with a properly built 'Mech and pilot, but evasion mechanics mean that an entire OpFor focusing fire on one target has a much higher chance of burning through to structure than if they were spreading their attacks around, even at somewhat higher hit chances. Further, hits on your spotter can rapidly become debilitating. In other words, while spotter and LRM lances are good at preventing minor damage to most of your 'Mechs, they're also more prone to catastrophic failures than a lance that can distribute enemy focus.

Ursprungligen skrivet av tesoffer:
Add that to 3 mechs that have LRMs and you have a lance that can hide and shoot without fear of reprisals. just make sure the LRM boats have at least 1 laser for when they run out of ammo on missions with 8+ mechs ( I try for 1 large laser but mediums will work just as well in a pinch)

Why put a LL on your LRM boats at all if they're never supposed to get shot at? The 5 tons needed could just be replaced with more ammo if you're worried about running dry. Further, if you did need to bring your three 'Mechs with 1 LL each into direct combat, you've either already won and your spotter should be able to clean up, or you should have withdrawn earlier. A ML is more defensible in terms of opportunity cost, I guess, but I'd still rather have another 120 missiles with that tonnage.
