I been reading that when using c3/c3i network that there is a 5%/7% increase in bv per unit that get tied into the network.. what source book would this be in? Im having trouble nailing this down. Ty

Best guess on why, is the better targeting information, as the closest unit is used for determining the S/M/L aspect of firing.
So something at 3 hexes/90 meters, is short for most weapons, except flamers, regular machine guns, and regular small lasers. So someone firing an LRM at long range, uses the short range to hit modifiers.
So with this, it is much easier to hit, so BV is higher.
But this is only a guess.

Tech Manual covers most common unit construction rules and associated battle value calculations.
In the Battle Value chapter, following individual unit calculations there is a section on calculating BV for a force of multiple units. In that section is a paragraph on C3. With a little variation depending on printing, that's about on p. 313.

I have a couple C3 questions. One, for weapons whose damage changes based on range (e.g., VSP, HGR, SNPPC), the damage is still based on the firing unit’s range, not the spotter’s range, correct? Two, if a firing unit uses an IS LRM, is 12 hexes from the target, and the C3-connected spotter is 3 hexes from the target, this is treated as short range (based on the spotter), but not within the minimum range (based on the firing unit), correct?

The C3 systems only affects targeting of the unit, not the actual range of the unit. So a small laser would not hit anything at the 12 hex example.
So for your example, if the LRM unit was firing at 21 hexes (max range) and the unit was at 3 hexes from the target, it is considered 3 hex target, without the minimum, as the launcher is further then the normal 6 hex minimum for an IS LRM.
I believe the only weapons not affected by this is artillery. I know the master system of the C3 has the same function as a TAG, but I don't think it can affect tube artillery. It is probable it can spot for them, but not affect the to hit number.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this will chime in.
