To date the Inner Sphere has not attempted to duplicate the ATM, instead focusing on specialized munitions for the LRM and SRM launchers already available in the field.Īll stats are current as of release 0.14. The release of the ATM is significant because it ended the technological stagnation of the Clans (along with the Heavy Laser that would be introduced a few years later). ATM's are mounted in tube clusters of three. With each launcher having an integrated Artemis IV FCS the Advanced Tactical Missile launchers also featured improved cluster accuracy over traditional LRM and SRM launchers. ER Ammunition significantly extended the range of the launcher beyond that of even LRM's, HE Ammunition gave the missiles a much more powerful warhead at a cost of range, and Standard Ammunition split the difference. Introduced in 3054 by Clan Coyote, the Advanced Tactical Missiles featured the ability to select different ammunition types.

As with all missiles, crouching will decrease lock-on time.

Smaller salvo size of ATM's means they are affected by enemy AMS more than systems with larger salvos.

The HE ATM weapon fires in a staggered launching pattern and imparts screen shaking, making it good for preventing accurate return fire.

Ballistic trajectory can be achieved by launching missiles away from the target and upwards.

When shooting at aircraft, it is often best to wait until they are moving away before firing, as even the awesome maneuverability of ATMs has a hard time keeping up with a high speed flyover.

The main advantage of the STD and ER ATM weapons are their fast travel speed and maneuverability, which when coupled with the flat trajectory makes them best suited for shooting at targets in the open and out of cover.
