Hello,
I came across some odd roles for several mechs in a lance I was painting up & was told to offer suggestion/question them here.
Previous Thread:
https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,83680.0/topicseen.html#1 - Every Dervish is a "Missile Boat" except the 6Mr which is a Brawler.
The 6Mr still packs Twin LRM10's & the only weapon change is swapping SRM2's for MPLs.
Meanwhile the 9D & 11DK are packing MMLs/ERMLs & Streaks/Re-Eng Lasers respectively & don't have the Brawler Tag with much more close in firepower.
Suggestions:
The 6Mr seems like a Missile Boat still to me w/ 20 LRMs & 4 lasers compared with other Dervishes (6M, 7D, 8D)
The 9D & 11DK very much seem more like Brawlers w/ the same 20 LRMs but much better Close Range firepower.
#2 - Every PhoenixHawk is a "Skirmisher or Striker".
I'm questioning/suggesting that some models feel like a
Sniper roll should be applied w/ Twin-ERLL/LPPC or ERPPC/TC.
For example, 3D, 3K, 3M, 6D, or 4W.
#3 - Every Javelin is a "Striker", but, the 11A is mounting an LRM-15 instead of close range weapons.
This seems like it
should be a "Missile Boat" like the Valkyrie models.
#4 - Griffins: Lots of different Snipers/MissileBoats/Skirmishers here.
But the 3 that stood out to me as being classified "inaccurately"
3M - With LRM20 doing 12 damage on average & ERPPC doing 10, it feels like this should be a
Missile Boat instead of Sniper.5M - With Light Gauss & LRM-10 this on the other had feels
more like a Sniper than a Missile Boat.5K - With LRM10, LPPC, & ERML, this
"Missile Boat" seems like it should be a "Skirmisher"
