Immortal, IS heavy trooper battle armor
« on: 21 July 2019, 21:02:51 »
I was reading Tengu article where Sillybrit notes that Inner Sphere is lacking in heavy trooper battle armor. Or was lacking at that time. Anyway, that inspired me to attempt making one.

The name Immortal comes from ancient Persian Immortals, type of elite infantry, figured it was appropriate.

As the title indicates, this is a heavy suit. 12 points of worth Advanced Armor makes this OK tough, needed extra weight for other stuff. The suit is a jumper, augmented with Jump Booster for total of 3 jump. Manipulators are basic type. Add Modular Weapon Mount on both arms, with two and one slots in right and left arms respectively. This leaves 325 kg payload.

Made several configurations, 325 kg across two mounts is actually quite flexible.

-A configuration has a Medium Recoilless Rifle and a Light Machine Gun.
-B configuration is a variation of the A and replaces the LMG with Improved Sensors.
-C configuration carries a King David Gauss Rifle and a Firedrake Needler.
-D configuration has single SRM-tube with four rounds and a Small Laser.
-E configuration is a variation of the D and swaps the Small Laser for a David Gauss Rifle, though this leaves some 100 kg unused.
-F configuration has a Compact Narc with two shots and a Flamer.
-G configuration carries a TAG designator and a Support PPC. (A King David would've used a bit more mass but i figured extra damage would be welcome.)

Edited the table below manually quite a bit, hope it doesn't have mistakes... BV values are for 4 trooper squads naturally.
