what weapons does it carry? you mention AC's and missiles, but don't provide details.
There are stats (but no record sheet) for the Condottiere in the PDF preview for TRO:3145M.
For those who can’t see the linked file, the
Condottiere packs twin RAC/5s in the nose, an Artemis-IV’d LRM-15 in each wing, and triple ERMLs in the tail-mount. Y’know, I’ve seen a loadout almost exactly like that before... oh, wait, that’s right: it was on a -D7
Stuka, a ship that managed that arsenal on a spaceframe that was a third lighter, two-thirds faster, and required only 20% of the flight-crew. #P
Frankly, the
Condotierre doesn’t really impress me. As
Jellico quite rightly points out, it’s too slow and ungainly to hang-and-bang with even pre-Helm heavy fighters, the weapons lack concentrated punch (though all those five-point clusters mean that any interceptor which blunders into their reach is going to regret it for the remaining few seconds of its life), and the best thing I can say about the armour is that you can’t TAC any aspect of the thing with a C/ERML. It doesn’t have the NL-45’s AMS bays, which mean it’s not suited to the escort role in a nuclear environment like the Clan craft; without the NL-45’s marine complement, it can patrol a patch of aerospace, but it can’t carry out customs-boardings; and the primary armament consisting of missile-racks and rapid-fire autocannon means while it can carry out some nasty anti-’Shipping strikes while its ammunition lasts, once it goes Winchester it’s next to useless. Basically, it’s good for escort or strike operations beyond the reach of fighters, and possibly acting as a long-endurance picket, but as soon as it gets near enough to something important that fighters become a factor, its utility becomes decidedly marginal.
