:blush: Edit: Time passes by and by now I build my "Katyusha" LRM-Striker like this: + If you build it right, the cLRM5s go to the "ears", thus smaller profile (also decreased "Mickey-Mouse-factor")
BAP does very little for a LRM boat, unless you plan on wasting your LRM's to do subpar damage when they close on you. And you are paying a tonnage/crit space tax for artemis. If you take 2 CLRMA 20's, you save 1 ton and 1 crit space for the artemis tax and you can put the tonnage savings into LRM ammo. You are going to need more LRM rounds to do damage with the radar deprivation module.
Yeah, radar deprivation is quite strong. IMO, it's too strong right now, especially if you spend additional tonnage on Artemis and TAG. And with all that ECM right now (hello Kit Fox!) ... I put BAP on it because of the increased range. Since I drop solo only I find it helpful to be able to lock on targets 800+ and I don't want to use one module slot for advanced sensor range. But of course, it's not a "must have". I never equip BAP on my IS LRM-mediums (griffin + wolverine). I tried the 2x LRM20 version as well but I liked the 3x ALRM15 version more because of the higher RoF and the better ability to chain-fire them. 4x ALRM10 would be even better.
