-Skirmishers typically use [[cover]] at [[medium-range]] while their weapons [[recharge]]. Skirmishers prefer high [[burst damage]] weapons and avoid [[staring]]. Skirmishers often use [[Electronic Warfare]] options like [[LAMS]] to deny missiles and [[GECM]] to deny the enemy [[battlefield awareness]] when out of line of sight.

-A popular variant of the Sniper, the '''JumpSniper''' is taking the great idea of extreme range advantage, and putting rocket thrusters on it. [[Gameplay Tactics#Poptarting|Poptarting]] can create unpredictable engagement windows, and while it isn't particularly easy in MWLL ([[JJ]]s cause one's own [[screen shake|screen to shake]]), it is effective when done correctly.

Any Aerospace or VTOL with Sniper weapons counts as one of these due to the nature of how they engage targets.

 ===Artillery===
-This category is reserved for assets that utilize the [[Thumper]], [[Sniper Artillery|Sniper Artillery Cannon]], [[Arrow IV]] missile system and the [[Long Tom Artillery Tank]]. In the case of Arrows, these [[asset]]s take the LRM Boat theme to the extreme; with [[NARC]]s, [[TAG]] and/or [[C3]] on the field, these assets can devastate the enemy team. However, these assets are often helpless or weak if engaged in conventional combat and require protection from teammates in order to function properly. Artillery Pieces are also very vulnerable to harassment from air units, especially [[VTOL]]s.

 ===Missile Boat===
-'''Missile Boats''' are assets equipped with lots of mid- to extreme long-[[range]] [[lock on|guided]] missiles. These assets often lack [[armor]] and usually carry extra tons of [[ammo]]. Missile Boats often struggle against enemies that come into close-range and benefit from having nearby allies. Alternatively, Missile Boats can find a vantage point overlooking the battlefield in order to rain down weapons fire unopposed. With adequate allied [[support]] in the form of [[NARC]] or [[TAG]], Missile Boats can launch their missiles from [[hide|hiding]] and [[flick]] them to deal [[indirect damage]]. Missile Boats that stay off the front lines risk having their allies lose, outnumbered in close combat, to an enemy [[death ball]]. Missile boats must find balance between playing it safe being a team-player.

 Note: While [[cSSRM]]s do meet the above criteria, assets equipped with lots of SSRMs or HE [[ATM]]s, are generally not considered "missile boats" for the purpose of this role description. Those assets fit better into the [[Brawler]] and [[Skirmisher]] roles.

 ==Fire-Support==
-Fire-support assets, sometimes called '''"glass cannons"''', trade armor for weapons. There are two main kinds of Fire-Support assets. The first kind are slow assets like the [[Mauler]] and the [[Huit]]. The second kind are fast assets like [[Loki]]s and [[Regulator]]s. Fire-Support assets usually rely on either having a longer [range]] than their enemies, or are dependent on allies to distract enemies and to [[tanking|tank]] damage away from the fire-support.
