For the hysteria I always assumed it was a civilian leopard.  If you take the 6 bays and weapons off a standard leopard you get a cheap transport with over 1k in cargo.  The video game shows the leopard dropping off 4 mechs and 4 heavy vehicles, which fit within the 1000+ tons of cargo a civilian leopard could hold when modified by the mercs for transport.

Huh. When did it drop both mechs and vehicles? The only time I ever saw it dropping more than four mechs was five mechs with a couple of missions where you had to escort a VIP or something like that.

The story mission where you drop with a lance of demolishers late in the campaign

I like it, the Burro..

Oh. I haven't seen that mission yet then.

Thanks. I kind of went overboard with it. After I put in all I wanted into it I still had plenty of tonnage left so I went a little crazy.

I might have put more Mechs onboard

Shrug. I most likely could have done so, but thanks to what I am coming up for the original Markham's Marauder's ORBAT I decided to do something different. Basically two mech lances plus a company of supporting mechanized infantry and a light VTOL Squadron. The Mechs are often more heavier medium troopers and support, plus one or two heavies. The unit's recon elements are actually the VTOL Company/Squadron which are mostly Ferrets and Warriors. Though I may change that to a more light ground-bound recon element with one or two Ferrets supporting them. Though that does kind of limit growing the Mech unit if it was needed. So I do know. Shrug.

Well u can always load more mechs as cargo, just takes longer to offload them.

So! I just finished the Campaign and I think you are wrong. You get a pair of Schrek PPC Carriers and a pair of Vaygr APCs in the second to the last mission but there isn't a mission where you get Demolishers. Also, those four vehicles and your own Mechs are not seen being dropped by a dropship. Though the Hysteria is seen near the end of the mission landing to pick you all up. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the ship picked up the remaining crews of the vehicles instead of just the vehicles. Since they were also blowing up the facility. Not really enough time to load the Vehicles onboard.

I went on youtube to jog my memory; yeah it was shreks/sleipnirs not demolishers.  The dropship pilot apologizes for the rough landing, but you dont explicitly see the hysteria in the beginning or end of the mission, more of an assumed dropoff/pickup through the dialog.

Yeah. That was mostly to Doc Murad who like Yang during the Artu Missions is riding along in one of the Rumble Seats of your Battlemechs. It doesn't really say which one she is riding along in, unlike Yang, but I just had one of my mechs step into the objective marker around the building and it satisfied the objective. We do get a good glimpse of the Hysertia coming to land at the front of the base around five or so turns till Murad is done with her mission.

If it's two of each the Sleipnir is 50 tons, right?  You can replace the standard Leopard's two ASF bays with two light and two heavy vehicle bays.

this is correct
