Fusion engines on vehicles give several great benefits over ICE in CBT.
- Half weight of an ICE engine
- 10 free heat sinks
- no need for power converters for energy weapons
In order to use energy weapons the tank must do the following
- Mount enough heat sinks to combat ALL heat the energy weapons build up (note, tanks do not build up heat for ballistic and missile weapons).
- Mount a power converter equal to 1/10th of the weight of all energy weapons on the vehicles. So 4 Large Lasers (20 tons), would require a 2 ton power converter.
Fortunately, in MWLL, all vehicles are assumed to have Fusion engines.
