>the implicit assumption
Wow, it's nothing, but lets say I'll humor you. We're using laser guidance on all the munitions and perhaps IR seeking for the shells. This is the equivalent of using TAG to negate the accuracy debuff of an ECM suite (which has a humorous range of 200-250m btw).

>UMUs and LRTs
The Clans invented UMUs for elementals in 3059, with the IS adapting the tech for mechs later. I don't think the Clans would have them on their Trinary mechs. Not at this point. Like with laser AMS, I'm presuming we're in the Clan invasion decade and this isn't available yet.

As for the LRTs, you'd have a point... if they didn't have that pesky range limit. My Cruisers will be at least 40km off shore and the carrier at least 200km back.
