Expriemntal weapon Comboniations
« on: 01 March 2011, 20:22:45 »
We all know of great combinations of weapons in Battletech- AC/20's and SRMs, Heavy PPC's and LB-10's, Gauss Rifles and ER PPC's, Medium lasers with anything... but what about the experimental tech?  What goes well with a Bombast laser, or an HV autocannon?

The idea here is to post up some good "combo" ideas between different weapons- the catch being that one of them has to be an experimental or advanced weapon system.  These combo's can be of any size, be on any weight class- only that it, and you, can show and explain why the combination is so effective.

I'm going to type up your response, print it, fold it in half, and look at it like a I would a centerfold. THAT's how sexy your answer was.

Snub nosed PPCs and ELRMs. ELRMs have a minimum range of 10. Snubbies have a short range of NINE. Having both on the same machine means that machine's "short range" is a near continuous 12 hexes long with the only hiccup being at EXACTLY 10 hexes.

NLRMs and any medium laser/SRM combo, much for the same reasons as above. Enhanced LRMs are basically slight heavier LRM launchers with a 3 hex minimum range. The medium laser and SRM's short range bracket basically cover that minimum range with their short range bracket.

Streak LRMs and Streak SRMs work pretty well, throw in some pulse/ER pulse lasers, and you have the ultimate light mech-nomming machine.
