Which mech accumulates the most heat? (No heat sinks)
« on: 27 March 2024, 11:12:02 »
Personally, just thinking right off the top of my head the Awesome-8Q generates a lot of heat
Corporal: Were under attack general.
General: who's attacking?
Corporal: Those 25 Urbanmech Mechwarriors you offended last week on Solaris.
General: That's....unfortunate. Could you remind me what I said to offend them?
Corporal: You said their Urbanmechs look like Locust-1Vs Sir.
General: ahh... I remember now.

The Lament LMN-4RC is a strong contender at 74 max heat generation

The Eris ERS-3R generates 87 heat on an Alpha Strike before heat sinks. There might be something which can generate more but I haven't found it yet.

I'm pretty sure the Tomahawk B generates somewhere in the neighborhood of 120. Unfortunately I can't remember off the top of my head exactly how many of each type of medium laser it mounts.
I have spoken.

I just looked it up, it can generate 108 heat on an Alpha Strike.

How much heat does a mech generate when its fusion-reactor blows up?

That's only 31 Heat before Heat Sinks and Movement.  An incredible amount for Introtech levels.  The Stalker 3F runs a Heat tab of 44 before Movement.

However, the Warhawk/Masakari Prime pulls off 64 Heat before Movement.  The Piranha can pull off 84 if it Rapid Fires all Machine Guns at full Rapid-Fire burst (really dangerous with its 10 Single Heat Sinks).

And we haven't really started getting in to units with Blazer Cannons or Heavy Lasers, either, like the Nova H with 10 Heavy Medium Lasers and 5 Jump.

I'm pretty sure the Tomahawk B generates somewhere in the neighborhood of 120. Unfortunately I can't remember off the top of my head exactly how many of each type of medium laser it mounts.

cERMLs do 5, cMPLs do 4, cERLLs do 12.

Swap out the ERs for Heavies, and you'd have a real stone burner on your hands.  Too bad it doesn't have the crit space for all of that.

MegaMekLab and Solaris SkunkWerks keep a running heat load total while you're building a Mech, so pulling up a unit can tell you a lot.

The Annihilator 1E generates 54 with a run but can sink 41.
