 ===ERSL and ERML===
-ERSL's and ERML's are still best used as short to mid-range weapons, focusing damage upon a single component, or raking across critically damaged sections. The CERMBL has the range to be used in medium to longer range engagements.  The additional range and damage are a much appreciated boost, however, and even with the additional heat load the IS variants don't produce too much waste heat when fired. Additional trigger discipline is required with ERML, as sustained firing (despite consistent, efficient damage for their mass) produces much higher heat loads. While units packing large groups of ERML are frightening to face, they produce an equally frightening amount of heat to be dissipated, and such units may only get one or two bursts before nearing shutdown. Chain firing, or non-standard weapon groupings can help mitigate this.

-Extended Range Lasers effective at greater range than Standard Lasers, however they produce noticeably more heat.  Like Standard Lasers and [[Heavy Lasers]], ERBL's deal damage over time, requiring the beam to be maintained on the target (or better, the same location on the target) for the duration of it's beam for maximum effect.  Although generally superior to Standard Lasers, the additional heat load can cause problems for units which mount many energy weapons and especially in environments with a higher ambient temperature.

-The ERLBL is best used from sniping positions where a unit can safely pick away at enemy units and there is time to dissipate the intense heat generated when firing the weapon.  It is worth noticing that the CERLBL has damage similar to the [[Standard AutoCannons|AC20]] and [[Ultra AutoCannons|UAC10]] but much better range and much lower rate of fire.  Because of the long duration of the beam these weapons are not very effective in close quarters against rapidly maneuvering targets. While Inner Sphere ERLBL lack some of the range and punch of their Clan tech counterparts, they are more efficient heatwise and should not be underestimated. Likewise, few units can fire more than two CERLBL at once due to the massive heat load.
