... I'm talking about large weapons doing damage to squishy unarmored meatbags. Fired against a vehicular unit or BA, large weapons do damage per TW rules, but fired against infantry, anything with an AI tag or mounted to a Battlearmor has individual AP/BD values, but these are lacking for everything not in TW/TM/BMM
What are the AP/BD values of a ER Small Pulse Laser mounted to a mech and what values if a battlearmor is carrying one (stuff like Small Pulse lasers have different values for the mech and BA versions)? What about a BA mounted ER Medium Pulse Laser (the mech mounted one just multiplies the damage, but BA stuff has actual values), or a BA specific item like the BA LB-X AC.
I think the answers to these questions are located on page 211 of AToW under "
Vehicular Weapons vs. Non-Battle Armor Infantry." There, it states that, "...any attack by vehicular weapons that directly hits a character will inflict damage with an AP of 10 and a BD equal to 6 times the weapon's
Total Warfare damage value. For example, the Inner Sphere medium laser--with its
Total Warfare value of 5--would inflict damage with the following AP/BD ratings in
A Time of War: 10E/30."
As for Battle Armor mounted weapons, their values are located on the BATTLE ARMOR WEAPONS TABLE on page 215 of AToW. The ER Medium Pulse Laser's stats are 6E/7B.
