So⦠I got the battletech total war and techmanuel books and made some dumb stuff.
This thing walks around 51 m/s and runs a small 74 m/s (102 m/s if the MASC is engaged). It canāt do much besides be fast, but if you ram something oh boy does it hurt. Thatās why this mech is called the missile. Thereās weight left for a grand total of eight points of armor (more if you wanna invest in ferrofibre for some reason) or a singular small laser (possibly a longer range model).
The main thing is that with MASC you can reliably move 25+ hexes to get a 6+TMM. With some positioning youād not need armor, as your speed is your armor.
For those who donāt know, in battletech you roll two six sided dice and total the results. Thereās a minimum you need to roll to hit (for IS usually a base of 4, with modifiers). So end your movement in a light or heavy woods with at least another light woods between you and adversaryās and you simply cannot be hit.
Itās exceptionally stupid and a waste of BV (even if I havenāt yet calculated itās bv worth) and will die to the first or second hit, but good luck getting that hit!
