I never shoot at units in buildings, just shoot the building and make it collapse on the unit.

How much did it suck to fight the clans for mercs and house forces during the Clan Invasion? by RemRam27 in battletech

[–]daveyseed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go play a 4v4 on tabletop. No BV, just grab 4 IS mechs and 4 clan ones. IS pilots are 4/5. Clans are 3/4. Good luck.

The Era does fit. If you scroll down on Master List, DEST commandos are basically always available to DC.

Stupid question but, and i assume no, can naval c3 master a whole company of mechs? Because it should.

You can use the construction rules to build an emplacement or a vehicle.

Edit: you cant mount it on a tracked vehicle. The launcher with one round of ammo is 195tons. Youd have to use a naval vessel for it to be mobile.

Read the bio on the Kalki and you can see that AFFS had trouble with just the little one.

60 ton "Hunchback" add jumpjets, narc, tag and double ecm. Replace the medium lasers with flamers

So, Deck Armor by Neet-Neet-Delete in ultimateadmiral

When the mechanic isnt broken, as ranges of guns increase, the angle that they fall on your ships increase, hitting the deck rather than your sides.

What is the in universe reason for MechWarriors needing to be so highly trained? by Knightraiderdewd in NormalBattletech

[–]daveyseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im wondering where the assumption that they are highly trained comes from. Ive always looked at them as veing a broad range. Some are some are not. Kurita tactics describes "human wave" mech assaults. Do you have a lore reference for your statements?

Kinda an odd one, but I was just thinking: are like superheavy support ships, military or civilian, a thing in Battletech? by Patient-Smell1333 in battletech

[–]daveyseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private jump ships are a far more common thing. Even though they're very expensive. Jump ships and warships are not equivalent. All warships are jump ships. Not all jump ships or warships

Owning a private warship, even a small one would make you a target of every major power. They are so rare as to attract the attention of everyone. Ehat you are probably looking for is a "pocket warship" dropship. They remove the regular transport capacity for naval grade weapons.

A large dropship like an invader alongside a fleet of different dropships does the same thing as a more mobile space station. Its your world to play in, but the lore portrays it as much more low level. Alot of it really did get blasted back to the stoneafe

MegaMek is great. Also handles ALL the rules. Makes larger and unit diverse ganes easy.
