(Answered) Harpoon SRMs and ship hulls
« on: 28 November 2017, 01:57:38 »
Tac Ops makes it clear that Harpoon SRMs do not penetrate any armor of BAR 5 or better, however they can entangle a target. 

If a unit with harpoon SRMs "entangles" some features on the hull of a ship, such as weapon ports, communications antenna, etc, would that have a similar benefit as using claws or talons to hang on while the ship maneuvers?

Apollo's Law- if it needs Clan tech to make it useable, It doesn't deserve those resources in the first place.
Sure it isn't the most practical 'mech ever designed, but it's a hundred ton axe-murderer. If loving that is wrong I don't wanna be right.

A harpoon does nothing at all against a unit with BAR 5 or better.  No damage, no non-damage effects.
