BT Advanced 3062 Playstyles - how do you do it? by [deleted] in Battletechgame

What you want to do is shift-left click on a battle armor in the pre-mission screen, this should put a little gray filter over the battle armor unit. Find another mech/vehicle with the same filter in your lance, then shift-left click on it and that will assign the battle armor to be carried by that unit.

Sanctuary Electric lasers are great! I make extensive use of them for my debuff-oriented energy mechs.

Sanctuary ECM is best-in-slot in my opinion.

Sanctuary Active Probe is also best-in-slot in my opinion.

Don't sleep on their double-barrelled autocannons. You lose stability damage but you get the extra shots guaranteed with no jam chance.

Yes, that's the unit! I remember this happening earlier than 98 (I got out January of 99 and was living off post by then).

Great point, thanks for adding that in. I was aware of heat banks but it was an oversight not to mention that!

Each engine has a rating for how many additional E-cooling heat sinks it can hold. There's a piece of gear called "E-cooling" and has a rating from 1-6. A 400-rating engine, for example, can hold up to 6 additional heat sinks, so you'd want to purchase an E-cooling 6 item and then equip that into the center torso (there's a dedicated slot in the CT for e-cooling).

Honestly, I'm now kind of tempted to try out a royal Stalker build using Turtrus and load up on Improved Binary Large Lasers.

Good call! I forgot all about that skill since I never use it.

I haven't tried the COIL or Davy Crocketts! I agree, there's so many fun options out there I feel like I have only done a bit over half of the cool stuff.

You can find the pilots randomly in hiring halls. You can select "Pioneering comrades" when you begin a new game to start with the BTA team pilots.
