This fix allows the GTF Erinyes, GTF Pegasus, GTF Perseus, GVF Serapis and GVF Ptah to use the TAG-C.

Isn't this a mod, not a fix?
And does the TAG-C do anything anyway?
-
According to the Wiki, no, it doesn't do much. Also, it seems as though none of the Retail ships were allowed to carry it. If I interpret the article (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTM_TAG-C) correctly, the TAG-C was part of that whole subspace missile barrage concept, but was kept in the VPs anyway. The only advantage this one has over the TAG-B is a greater Range, as far as I can see...
-
I've heard rumours that there is at least one multiplayer mission where the TAG-C is used.

Man, I'd like to see that subspace barrage concept in a mod somewhere. It just sounds... neat.

There are subspace bombs in Flaming_Sword's Shivans! v0.21 mod.

...tagging a target with one results in a devastating barrage from local friendly artillery.
Sounds like it to me.

Never actually used in the game, and incompatible with all GTVA fightercraft unless table alterations are made...
The rumors are wrong then.

The B does indeed appear rather quickly, but I don't remember a C.
"The TAG-C is the third and final generation of TAG missiles developed by the GTI labs. This model provides greater reliability and compatibility with existing GTA turret hardware. Although these missiles are extremely scarce, tagging a target with one results in a devastating barrage from local friendly artillery. TAG-Cs have thus far been restricted to elite squadron use only.",
Looks like you're never actually granted permission to use it. The only :v: missions in which you can select it are the 3 Gauntlets and IIRC they don't have a friendly capship able to use them.
