Nobody mentioned aiming for specific components either.

Go for the legs =D Can't do much if they're lying face-down in the dirt

Quick question, does it really matter where the recticle is pointed at on the target when using LRM's? or any multiple missile's, SSRMs etc

A coordinated Madcat C rush will break any camp on any map if done right.  It's also a scene of pure beauty and carnage.

2-4 of you going wide passive, get a few to keep rushing to keep them busy, and boom, you win.

Ya missile boating seems to be the exclusive purview of pilots that aren't working as a team.  If you can get even two others to play along with a flank that should crush them.  I have a noob question to follow on that thought.  How do you get voice comms to work?  I never have the little speaker thing next to my name on 'tab'

They can still aim at anything infront of them, or if someone is NARCing/TAGing. Legging only really works on missile boats when they topple over cockpit first.

Most servers run their own dedicated TeamSpeak.  This is your best route in my opinion.
Voice comms have always been ultra garbled via MWLL on any server I have played where people have used them (note:  this does not indicate all servers are like this...just the ones I have played).

on Marshes my preferred choice of weapon early on is the LBX20 or the AC20 variety of the Oro.  Going passive and the low profile help a lot to get close.

I found on Marshes if you turn your radar off you can usually get close enough to the boats so they cannot fight back. It takes a lil time(staying out of sight means you have to do a long flanking maneuver), but once your close shoot them up or narc and run for it.
This is what I usually do. Go passive, watch for where the missiles are coming from, and flank. It was hilarious doing this as a Demolisher. :)
