Grounded dropships

[Alain Dumont]

Are they possible?  If so, how do you set them up/deploy them?

Edit:  I did manage to land one.  Now the followup question...how do you use the Long Tom a Fortress carries, once it is grounded?

Also, found how to configure them to start at 0 altitiude.  Still no clue re the artillery, though.

This is one I ran into a few months back.  As far as rules go it is legal (http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,13810.msg322609.html#msg322609 & http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,13408.msg321668.html#msg321668) but MM doesn't differentiate between types of nose mounted weapons for now.

In order to use them in MM I had to shift the location of the Long Tom from the nose to one of the sides.  The easiest way to do that is to open the Fortress.blk file and change the location.  You could also just use the files I attached where I did the same thing.  Let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks, I'll try those.

It does't look like the default version even has the Long Tom.  Yours already looks better.   O0

Glad I could help.

Lacks ammo, though.  Will try customizing via MekHQ.

are these tiles that can be placed on a map board or what if I may enquire please?

[BeeRockxs]

They can't be placed on the map board as just an image. You'll have to add a dropship to your force and land it (or deploy it landed).

In order to deploy it landed, configure it at the start of game, in the lobby, to be at starting altitude 0.
