- Not sure if anyone thought of the following, most I had thought of a few yars
- ago, I don't have the latest in Battle Tech or MEcha lit, but I think the
- following will still be useful..
-
- Disposeble weapons: Namely weapons strpped on or attached to a MEch for a
- limited time.. They also can be used when a area that the weapon is attached to
- as a additional site for crits/hits..
-
- Straped on Armor: In the same vein as applicae armor of total. Basically armor
- that is attached until it goes away.. Or acts as armor against weapons that the
- Mecha is not used to being proof against. Or as temporary armor to cover a area
- that for some reaosn can't be covered for now..
-
- Drop mines for a Mecha.. Namely can be used to discourage someone following
- you.. Such as the old fashion Caltrops..
-
- Popup mines. Namely they are mines designed to jump up and to fire a charge
- downwards, namely designed for MEcha with a "head".. basically to go for the
- cockpit..
-
- Armored Personnel Carrier Mecha.. Mecha designed to operate as a team.
- Three MEcha act as personnel carriers with a total complement of a Infantry
- Platoon. With one MEcha to act as a command Mecha and as heavy fire power..
-
- Digger Tank: A tank designed to dig themselves literally in and pop up to
- attack..
-
- Anti-Air Mecha: Mecha will extrme long range weapons to be used against
- Air Craft/Lams...
-
- Remote Piloted Vehicles: To act as recon..
-
- Any other ideas can be posted here or emailed to the following person.
