Title: Remote Sensor Monitoring via Duplicate Equipment on Battle Armor
Post by: Whiskey144 on 09 April 2024, 21:49:42
A previous thread here (https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=62308.0) noted that the Battle Armor Improved Sensors equipment is considered a standard Active Probe for the purposes of monitoring Remote Sensors, in accordance with Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment page 187 and the Remote Sensor Monitor Table therein. Further, the rules text therein suggests that the total number of sensors a unit can monitor is cumulative with all eligible equipment that a unit has mounted.

Barring the specific notation of communications equipment, how does this interact with the possibility of using duplicate equipment? Referencing the aforementioned Battle Armor example, if a squad of 4 battle armor troopers are each equipped with a single Improved Sensors unit, is the squad able to monitor 2 Remote Sensors, or 8 (2/trooper)?
