This offsets the [[CLRM15\|cLRM15]]'s long lock-on time, which is otherwise awkward to use within the short 300m range of the [[ATM\|ATM6 (HE)]]. Both missile launchers have long cycle times, so staying in cover is a must. NARCed targets can be fired upon around cover, or with quick peaks now that you can ignore locking-on. Stay at high speeds and use [[MASC]] to dash between pieces of cover and fire off a volley (easily done in urban environments or walled Control Points).		\| Comment1=To make the most out of this loadout, try to take advantage of [[Gameplay_Tactics#Self-NARCing.2FTAGing\|self-NARCing]].

+The ultimate drive-by support mech housing [[EOptics]] & 5 [[DHS]]. The tip of the spear is the [[NARC|cNARC]] launcher, allowing allied missile boats to engage out of the enemy line of fire, making this Black Lanner an important support asset. Offensively, it mounts 2 [[CMPL|cMPL]]s, a [[CLRM15|cLRM15]], and a single [[ATM|ATM6 (HE)]] launcher, giving it a moderate amount of firepower. Although it can intercept and run down most mechs, it won't out DPS dedicated [[Asset_Roles#Brawler|brawlers]].

 ===Variant B - ''"SunnyD"''===
-The SunnyD is an [[Energy_Weapons|energy]]-focused Black Lanner that wants to come in close and personal. With 6 [[Double Heat Sinks]], the SunnyD can run quickly for longer than nearly any other Black Lanner when using [[MASC]] making it an excellent [[back capper]]. It is quite fast and generally well-suited for [[seek-and-destroy]] missions, except that it can't do so very stealthily because its [[c3]] unit creates a stronger [[radar signature]] when the SunnyD is in [[Passive Radar]] mode. Under hot conditions, the SunnyD should focus on using its [[ATM6|ATM 6 High Explosive]] since it is the SunnyD's more heat-efficient weapon. During the beginning of combat, so long as the SunnyD wasn't already running hot from using MASC, the SunnyD can afford to [[group fire]] all of its six [[cHSL|Heavy Small Lasers]] and one [[cHML|Heavy Medium Laser]], but after that, the SunnyD typically performs best using [[chain fire]] in order to spread out the heat

-The Black Lanner G is a unique Black Lanner in that it comes with an extra half ton of [[armor]] and is the only Black Lanner with support for allied missile guidance in the form of [[TAG]]. The G was born to [[brawl]], with absolutely no weaponry reaching beyond 350m. Terrifying on the battlefield, the G can easily [[heat|heat up]], melt, or shut down most other ground assets with its three [[Flamers]]. Then with a frighteningly powerful [[alpha strike]], the G can unload its staggering 22 SRM missile tubes from two [[cDSRM4]] and one [[cSRM6]]. Despite its ammo-hungry build, the G has quite a bit of staying power thanks to three [free tons]] of ammo.

-| Comment1=The SunnyD is the most evil mech in the game. It's the best [[back capping|back capper]] because it is the fastest Black Lanner since it has the most heatsinks of any Black Lanner and enough weapons to challenge nearly any medium or heavy mech for a post in Terrain control. Sure, its not the stealthiest choice of a Black Lanner, the Prime or one of the brawler Lanners is a better choice for stealth, but the SunnyD doesn't really need stealth with how much speed it can put out. Thanks to the the Lanner's 360 torso and the flexible nature of having 7 Heavy Lasers as well as a high [[splash damage]] HEATM6 finisher, The SunnyD can also easily switch between a group fire twist-fight or a max DPS stare mode as long as the pilot has enough weapon groups set up. During a group fire twist fight, any moment that the enemy isn't exposing whatever component the pilot has chosen to target, is a moment that the SunnyD can cool down, waiting for the perfect moment to unleash all of its heavy lasers.
