Tonnage question??
« on: 14 June 2020, 00:48:35 »
I was on Mech Factory site looking to make custom stats for my huge Renegade Legion grav tank stockpile, and while playing around with the vehicle construction tools I saw that the site allows Hover Combat Vehicles to weigh a lot more than 50 tons! Is this a real thing? I dont have the tech books but I always thought 50 tons was the maximum tonnage for Hover type vehicles?

Support Vehicles can go heavier, but you're right about Combat Vehicles as far as I know.

Super heavy hovers are possible.

TacOps pg 378. SH hovers cover 51-100 tons. Can't go to woods or jungle. Different suspension factor. Split side armor. Heavier internal structure.

Megamek Lab implements superheavy hovers.

Cool, thanks!  I had thought that was only for Support Vehicles, but am happy to be wrong.
