Elemental (Laser) cost BV 447/64 ??

[Precentor Scorpio]

In the 3058 Clan Record sheets, the cost for battle armor is a large number / small number.  What does this mean?

BV  447/64

Thank you

Smaller number is one suit, large is a full squad (5 for clan suits).

The big number is for an entire point/squad and the small number is for an individual suit.

Nope . . . 447 is for a 4/5 squad of 4 suits- check the MUL.

remember that there's a squad size modifier that messes with basic math (TechManual pg 316) - use this instead of multiplying by squad size

troopers
1 - x1.0
2 - x2.2
3 - x3.6
4 - x5.2
5 - x7.0
6 - x9.0

so a 5 man elemental squad is 64 (this is rounded up from 63.xx) * 7.0 = 447

skill is 4 gunnery / 5 antimech

Okay, now I am wrong . . . thought it was that- been having to juggle numbers & skills on Elemental points.

So maybe I've been doing something wrong when calculating the BV out on BA.  So assuming I'm using the BV charts on the MUL, the corresponding gunnery, is just that and piloting is the antimech skill or am I reading to much into this?  Not that antimech has really come up all that often in using BA for me.  I'd say I've pulled 2 off in the past 5 years.

[Sartris]

yeah, the piloting axis is antimech for infantry

[Firesprocket]

Good to know.  I've been playing BA a bit more these days, but can't for the life of me recall when I last went digging for the explanations and wrote them off as default same skill or a default AM skill that Protomechs used to have for piloting (and still may for all I know).
