I've seen in some of the videos that the BA had some sort of energy weapon, in the latest one at least. It was when someone jumped up, then shot and killed someone below them, it looked like a gauss rifle effect, except MUCH less destructive, I'm sure. I also saw in the other video, an earlier one, that they had some sort of ballistic-like weaponry.

Well, it is not on the list, but the BA could theoretically be mounting the King David Light Gauss Rifle.

@Nick, would love to take the credit, but cheese has been used in warfare for millenia...check out these loonies from the 21st century!

@Lord Samurai, great cartoon :)

@Diablo, whats the range on that King David?  Like the idea of BA using some sort of gauss, would be worried if it ranged more than 600m (don't really want to see a mechwarrior-tribes).

@Defender, so does this mean we get flamers for our 'mechs and other vehicles also?

I dunno if they died out, but I definitely remember cutting down waves of Jag 'mechs with an Annihilator loaded up with 8 ER Large Lasers with a ton of heat sinks and some engine upgrades. Thing was unstoppable.

I am not sure about that because it is not listed, but it says it has a longer range than the David which gets out to 8 hexes, so that would put it at least as long as a normal IS medium laser, although range is obviously subject to balance if it gets implemented.  The other issue is that I know that there is a BT RPG which has different stats for the smaller weapons, so it is quite likely that there are two very different sets of numbers for its range.

The main reason I wouldn't like to see mortars for battle armour is that it would remind me of Mech Assault.

And I am really really hoping MW:LL is not like Mech assault  ;)

Pyro.. Just.. PLease dun mention Mech assault, it was crap, the BA was crap, everything in it,w as crap. And if they try to make this MORE like Joke of a Mech game, it will loose massive amounts of its players. Elementals don't need mortars.. Just no.

Mortars are for on the go artillery and are pretty much always used in at least threes with 2 man "crews"
They would be inaccurate, inneffective, and underpowered. Do they even have mortars in BT (besides MA, that's not the BT universe to me and alot of people)
All of my posts are of my personal opinions unless obviously otherwise.
