It moves 2/3 with nearly ten tons of armor (1/2 for the militia variant and that one carries more armor than an Atlas). So much for the joke! I commissioned Stephen Huda to illustrate the machine, using the Claymore’s chassis (they are the same tonnage). When I told him it was meant as a joke, he shrugged and said words to the effect that it was ‘still damn good, even for a joke’. Instead of a flustered proofreader, I got a comment from John Baker telling me he’d tested it on Mega Mek and thought the new machine was pretty effective. I thought ‘what if I send this to our new proofreader and pretended to panic, telling him this was the next project?’ So I sent the pic and some stats I threw together.

Then you’re sort of screwed unless you spam the hell out of them with a bunch of little stuff. They do a good job – that is, unless the target has an AMS (or in the case of our Outworlds Alliance Sounder, several). I am not talking about missile launchers. The writeup says they are effective, the design is such that you might think they could do the job, but when it comes to putting metal on the table and rolling the dice, most of them come up short.ĭon’t misunderstand me. There are many such designs in the BT universe, but none of them are really all that effective. I mean, actually do it in the game, with no special rules, for real. Imagine if you will, an anti-aircraft battery in BattleTech that can actually shoot down VTOLs and even aerospace fighters. I am putting the finishing touches on the rough draft for the writeup.
