2 tons of armor?
Let's say it's a medium-heavy mech and go with 20 tons of armor and 10 DHS, compared to 12 tons of LFF armor on another mech and 18 DHS.
The mech with FRA and 10 DHS can move through 17 hexes of that inferno.
The mech with LFF and 18 DHS can move through infinity hexes and have 1 extra dissipation to spare.
Uh, no. First off your LFF/18 DHS 'Mech requires 25 more crit slots to be occupied. That's....pretty significant. Secondly, I used an invalid example since heat is capped at 15 from outside sources. To generate that 15, the non FRA 'Mech would need to walk through 5 hexes, ending his turn in fire. At which point we have 36 (dissipation) - 15 (fire) - 1 (walking) = 20 remaining. The FRA 'Mech has 20 (dissipation) - 8 (fire) -1 (walking) = 11 remaining.
An advantage for the LFF 'Mech yes. But one that requires him to devote over half his crit spaces to achieve. The FRA 'Mech on the other hand can easily slide in Endo-Steel and still have 11 more crits available than his adversary, and more tonnage available as well.
