A question about Panthers
« on: April 20, 2014, 11:07:29 PM »
What did the original Panther do besides having a large laser in place of the PPC?  Also, was there ever a canon Royal version?


Thanks in advance.

SRM4.

No Royal variant from what I can see on the MUL.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

It had a Large Laser, an extra heat sink and a extra ton of armor in place of the later model's PPC.

Yeah, that's the variant that I usually use if I'm play SW-era.  I find that so many of the primary variants of the SW-era are just too under-armored.  I usually hunt for the variants that allocate tonnage a little wiser.

which is why I do not understand the attatchment to the unseen.  most were death traps in one manner or another.

The PNT-8R? has a large laser, a SRM 6 with one ton of ammo and 14 heatsinks. The rest is the same as the PNT-9R.

It has a Large Laser (one with problems), a SRM-4, one more Heat Sinks and one ton more of armour.

Completely agree with you I always found that Succession War Games ended not when the BattleMechs and vehicles had fought long battles instead when your SRM or Machine Gun ammo blew

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Yeah, great when it's your opponents (like last saturday) not so much when its your mech spreading itself over the landscape.
