I know the frustration! Believe me!!!

Here are some things that I learned.

Don't run with your radar on.They really nail you then. It's alot better to use passive radar and load up on anti-radiation missles. Then when they switch on their radar after the first initial shots, you can unload on them.

Stay at long range as much as possible. Work on their legs. It seems to take them out quicker and you get more salvage.(Takes practice though.)

If you have multiple targets, use your auto-tracking. As long as they are in front of you you can switch targets quickly without having to move your turret manually. Run full speed in reverse while doing this.

As to your problem with line of fire. When they begin running around you in a circle and firing, slow your mech down to half speed. You should get your crosshairs on them too if your turret is facing them. They may stop and "dance". Don't get fooled. Just slow down more and keep firing.

Another trick is use quick mechs on scout missions or when you just need to target a mission goal. You may not have squat for armor, but if you run full speed, chances are you'll come out alive since they are slower.

I also saw a hint book. It's not worth paying $20.00 for but if you can sneak a peak at a store, there are some really helpful hints.
