Does camo actually help any on the in-universe battlefield, or is it more like it's become tradition to cover mechs in camo even though they are exactly as easy to detect as in the parade scheme?

And UAC always shoots twice

I'm curious about bullshit like this: Do you generally collect and paint everything in the colour of one faction, or maybe get a company done in one paintscheme, or just get lance after lance painted of particular guys in particular era?

>warship armor
Easy fix, up the BAR rating. Warship armor in canon is supposed to be stronk as fuck, up Warship armor to BAR100 and sub capital weapons go from "oh fuck this is dangerous" to "oh this is a desperate cludge to scratch the paint" and completely justifies the paper thin armor.

How "big" is a medium laser?>closest weight in cars is a chevy sparkCompared to the CGL "engineering" drawing, I guessed it'd be about the same size as a person. So you'd be able to fit it in the head probably on the other side of an access panel.

People have been meming "battletech is a hardcore realistic simulation wargame, it just also happens to have mechs!" for so long that they forgot none of it makes any sense and it's actually decades of different writers papering over blatant and obvious holes in the setting comic book style , accidentally making more holes.And where does that lead you? Back to mechs being the only thing that holds it all together.

Is soft launch for missiles a thing in this franchise? Would it negate the need for heat sinks for mechs with missile launchers?

Melee question:The Griffin in pic related (crooked blue arrow) has just landed after using jump jets. The Wolverine is charging it as it is landing. The Griffin shoots it with its Right Arm Medium Lasers but misses. Wolverine can't shoot as it is charging. Griffin throws a punch with its Left Arm but misses. The charge misses. No PSR is needed for the Wolverine pilot.The question is: was anything in that paragraph wrong? Aside from poor decisions from new players.

Remember that all real life guns and all weapons from non-Battletech fictional settings deal zero damage to battlemechs. Hope this helps :)

>Where do you think I should've ended up?
You've read the rule more recently than I have. I thought you just pulled up short of the target and stopped if your charge failed.

How hard do you think it would be to replace an IS XL engine with a Clan one? Since the Clan one is smaller there might be some issues that come from it.

Anon10/19/25, 11:43No.96788057
I know we're not supposed to use XTRO:1945 to start arguments, but can we use it to end arguments?The Tiger I's 8.8 cm Kwk 36 canon is described in it as a Medium Rifle; confirming that not only modern but historical tank guns qualify as sufficiently powerful to harm Battlemechs; though not with the efficiency and fire rate of the contemporary AC.The only problem with modern MBT rifles is doctrinal, as APDSFS darts are currently the most popular anti-armor option and suffer from a substantial mass problem. As battlemechs are clad in thick ablative armor and myomer is described as resilient to localized damage, they would be highly inefficient and heavily reliant on a 'golden bb' type vital hit. Those may be modeled appropriately as Light Rifles, as could smaller anti-tank weapons such as contemporary and substantially smaller kinetic autocannons (though sufficiently rapid modern autocannons may be better modeled as 'machine guns').Modern MBTs utilizing HEAT or HESH rounds would probably be happily equivalent to Medium Rifles so long as their destructive potential meets or exceeds the 8.8cm (which is not a hard bar to jump, it wasn't even the most powerful tank gun fielded during the war), though only the largest bore high explosive rounds of the modern age scrape into Heavy Rifle territory.I'm just kinda getting tired of the nogames autism on matters that we actually have precedence in rules for, even in a joke supplement.

Redpill me on all the Drac mechs that pop up in the 3050/60s: Akuma, Bishamon, Daikyu, Daimyo, Hitman, Kabuto, Katana, Komodo, Naginata, Ninja-To, No Dachi, O-Bakemono, Shugenja, Tai-sho, etc. They all come out within the span of a decade or so, get 2-3 variants each, and then are seemingly forgotten about. What gives?

While the Grasshopper on the left is Arkee Colorado's and the Locust on the right belongs to Evan Huxley, which variant is Huxley's?As seen in pic, Huxley's Locust there is lasers only. Thus, it can't be an LCT-1V. So which Locust variant is it?
