Some of my own designs...

Hi everybody. After my release of the Cougar I finally found out, how to show the other designs.

P.S: Don't get confused if you see an (O) behind some Titan names. As I am a Battletech fan, I thought, that constructing some kind of Omni-Titan could be funny [:D]

This Titan is intended for scouting, giving his team mates info about enemy. The Jump Jets allow him to close up or withdraw from the enemy, if needed. IMO the medium lasers are good enough to deal with other scout-class titans. Any heavier chassis should be avoided.

Another medium titan, good fire power, but like my most of my other designs it heat regulation is only not that really good. Best used as a direct attack machine, that will stay at medium range to get best used of its missile rack. The AC 12 is thought as a back up weapon if close combat cannot be avoided. The DCS will repair any damages done to the internal parts of this titan.

Ok, this one was designed for one purpose: close up with enemy and then crush him into the ground of the battlefield with its AC 20 and the PA. I haven't tested this design yet, but will do this ASAP. When I first designed it, I used a Krios K-4 chassis, but this proofed to be the wrong one, as the AC 20 had only 10 shots and the side torsos, where the AC 20's are mmounted where not armored well enough. I switched to a K-3 that seems to be far better, although it gives -10 on piloting medium titans.

Comments on any of my designs would be good, so that I can perhaps improve them, without changing their original purpose.

[Coyote27]

Some comments:

Firepower depends directly on heat radiation. Guns that you can't fire because of heat are just taking up valuable space. Most energy weapons (medium and bigger lasers) produce 2c/s heat, ac20+ac12+gauss about 1 and ac7+ac4+mesons about 2/3c.


Don't put Dullaroy on locations that have a heat regulator. Dullaroy is strong, but it's a very bad heat conductor. Choosing the right armor for the right location can improve a titan's performance significantly.

As far as the Blackjack, it seems to me it'd be better to trade the medium lasers for extra ac7 ammo.

[Mercarryn]

Yeah, I figured this out just yesterday, when i was constructing other titans. I will see, if I can improve the heat reg. on some of my designs.

Okay, let's see...

A recon-class titan that's intended only for scouting does not need two ML's. The built-in design called "Pest" would do a better job at fighting if you really need that much firepower. Instead, you might want to try something as extreme as this:

Notice the higher heat dissipation rate (due to millenia on the legs) and the slightly better armor on the Scout. (By the way, it's almost always a good idea to use full dullaroy on the head. The only exception occurs when you are using the C-R4 chasis-- "full vicenium" on the C-R4's head gives 13 armor points, the same amount of protection you will get as full dullaroy on the smaller C-R1. )

The Scout design proved to be useful when I played the "Neutron Device" mission. This titan's ability to jump continuously without overheating or crashing to the ground makes it very useful.

Of course, if you don't like the scanner 1, feel free to remove some armor or downgrade the jump port to give it a better scanner. You can even remove the medium laser for better electronics [:)]

Similar to my Cougar design, but with more emhasize on the missile racks in its arms. some laser backup, if the ammo is depleted. Best used as a support mech, that uses its ecm and woods as camo.

The titan is okay in terms of the total amount of external armor. The distribution, however, is WAY too enequal. As mentioned earlier, the head is underarmored. Also, the feet should use millenia, and the CT should use millenia or titanium (for better heat dissipation). The arms are underarmored for a light titan-- try using titanium or dullaroy if possible. Also, I personally would not use a scanner 4 or an ECM 2 on a light due to space limitations. Downgrade the scanner to a 3, the ECM to a 1, and use a better computer. You'll hit more often this way.

The Blackjack is best used as an attack titan. The AC 7 and 4 give him good firepower on medium and long range, while closing up with the enemy. The medium lasers and the mg are his back up. Don't fire all weapons evertime, as the Blackjack becomes hot with the time!

In case you don't know, you can actually use different kinds of armor in different parts of the same "armor group" (e.g. legs). For example, if weight is the limiting factor, you can use millenia on one leg and vicenium on another and get better heat dissipation than using titanium on both legs. In this case, the CBT should use vicenium to save weight (you can pack in 16 pts into one slot). Oh, by the way, use a better heat reg on that titan! [;)]

Another medium titan, good fire power, but like my most of my other designs it heat regulation is only not that really good. Best used as a direct attack machine, that will stay at medium range to get best used of its missile rack. The AC 12 is thought as a back up weapon if close combat cannot be avoided. The DCS will repair any damages done to the internal parts of this titan.

First, put dullaroy on the head. Then, change the armor on the arms, LT, RT, LOT, and CBT to either dullaroy or vicenium. Then, put millenia on the legs and titanium on the CT. That solves the heat dissipation problem. If there is any space left, you can put in a jump port.

Ok, this one was designed for one purpose: close up with enemy and then crush him into the ground of the battlefield with its AC 20 and the PA. I haven't tested this design yet, but will do this ASAP. When I first designed it, I used a Krios K-4 chassis, but this proofed to be the wrong one, as the AC 20 had only 10 shots and the side torsos, where the AC 20's are mmounted where not armored well enough. I switched to a K-3 that seems to be far better, although it gives -10 on piloting medium titans.

Again, you might want to experiment with different armor types to fix the heat dissipation problem. Locations not covered by heat regs should never use millenia-- if space is the limiting factor, use titanium. Otherwise vicenium or dullaroy will be better.

Also, an engine 1 is probably not enough if you're using energy weapons, unless they are only intended for backup. And if your engine is engine 3 or smaller and you're using a medium titan, you can even put it into the CBT. This will greatly reduce the chance of the engine getting hit.

First, notice the higher heat dissipation, the slightly improved armor, and the scanner 5. The LOT is overarmored to allow jump charges. Yes, I know that the armor on the torsos are slightly weakened. If that's your primary concern, downgrade the scanner, use a heat reg 5, and put titanium on the CT, LT, and RT. (Your choice)

The purpose of this titan is similar, although the way to use it will be different (my version of the Anvil is better suited for the "knock down and call shots" strategy).

[Thorgrim]

For a scout, one ML is enough like returnfire already said. A nice scanner would be an asset, for the faster scan time and # of links and stability - maybe a level 4 wouldn't be a bad idea. Strong armor and defensive systems of course, and jump ports. The better the computer, the faster you can switch targets when scanning them. An ECM will help with stealth a bit, and a good life support may help the jock since this titan may find itself under heavy fire. About the chassis, speed is important, but stability too - both when jumping and when dodging, when mods are doubled.

[Mercarryn]

Thanks for the input so far. I am already improving heat managent on my designs as best as possible. I will put the upgraded versions in here, when I am done [:)]

When I first built this titan the heat reg was about 3.75 due to the wrong armor on some parts of this titan. I changed it as best as I could, but to my mind, the protection is not that good, but I could be wrong. Also I don't like the fact, that the AC's don't have that much ammo, especially the AC 12. I heaven't tested this one so far.

[Thorgrim]

Just a couple of comments just rfom looking at them.

Starslayer: Head armor should be D, maxed out. Check the legs and side torsos, you may have an extra mm of armor in either, not sure though. An ammo depenednt weapon in the CT, not good - even if the engine is in the CBT. A better scanner could help with caled shots.

Claymore: looks like it packs too many weapons for the heat dissipation it has. AC12 ammo is short yes. Having many weapons means armor is not that strong. If you could move the flares to another location, they could be edployed even when prone.

[Mercarryn]

About the Starslayer: I changed the position of the AC 4 in the CT with the TC in RT. If I change the head armor to Duralloy, I will only get 10 points of armor, thus decreasing the protection of the head. The armor on the locations you meantioned cannot be improved because of maximum weight. And a better scanner seems to be impossible due to space limitiations.

[Coyote27]

Remove one of the lasers - you can really only handle one of them in that design - and move to a l1 chassis.

[Thorgrim]

About the Starslayer: If I change the head armor to Duralloy, I will only get 10 points of armor, thus decreasing the protection of the head. The armor on the locations you meantioned cannot be improved because of maximum weight.

You misunderstood me. If you select the locations HD, RT/LT, CT, RA/LA, LOT and click on 'remove 1mm', the # of APs in those locations (which is what counts in battle) will not change. So you can save some weight there, in this case 0.3 tons. It is enough to switch head armor to D and max it at 17 APs. (you can of course max it at 15 V, and use the extra weight to increase armor in the other locations, it's just that almost always head armor should be maxed to protect the jock as much as possible)


(this keyboard sucks)

[Thorgrim]

BTW, haven't checked any of the other designs for these extra mms of armor, only the Starslayer. You can probably squeeze some more tonnage from them as well, if you also streamline their armor.

As you can see, the heat reg is much better than the original version and is has got more ammo for the AC 7. I took out the AC 4 as the 2 AC 7 give him enough longe range hit, while he closes up with the enemy. The other medium was moved to the head to have at least one weapon ready if he is prone or both torso sides are blown of. You never know [;)]

[Thorgrim]

You don't need an engine that big now [;)] With so much ammo, maybe a DCS wouldn't be such a bad idea. Just a thought.

[Mercarryn]

Hmm, if you mean that a DCS can hold off an ammo explosion, I think that you are wrong. To my knowledge, the damage control skill of the jock helps in that case, not the DCS itself, but correct me if I am wrong.
You're right about the engine. I'll see how much tonnage I can spare with a smaller engine. perhaps I can build in an ecm or something else. I look it up in the factory.

[Mercarryn]

Ok, my Claymore again. I switched the AC 4s to the legs and decreased the engine to #6 that allowed me to increase the AC 12 ammo and upgrade the LS and the flare launchers. Heat reg still the same, but the armor has been improved at legs and arms.

LR weapons in the legs, ick, you won't be able to use them when kneeling! And DCS is VERY important in avoiding ammo detonations, just wait 'till your in the core [;)]

[Thorgrim]

Hmm, if you mean that a DCS can hold off an ammo explosion, I think that you are wrong. To my knowledge, the damage control skill of the jock helps in that case, not the DCS itself, but correct me if I am wrong.

You are wrong [:D]
The skill won't do you any good without the DCS in this case.

}
You're right about the engine. I'll see how much tonnage I can spare with a smaller engine. perhaps I can build in an ecm or something else. I look it up in the factory.

Don't forget that adding an ECM will require an additional PU from the engine.

[Thorgrim]

Ok, my Claymore again. I switched the AC 4s to the legs and decreased the engine to #6 that allowed me to increase the AC 12 ammo and upgrade the LS and the flare launchers. Heat reg still the same, but the armor has been improved at legs and arms.

Actually leg armor went down by 1 AP, CBT went up. I'd hide the DCS in the CBT, cause that's the only piece of equipment you can't repair in the field. If it gets damaged, its efficiency will suffer for the rest of the battle.
As for the AC4S, this design probably will not be crouching too much, but weapons mounted in the legs will suffer a to hit penalty when fired on the move. And it doesn't look much like a support platform [:)]

[Burzmali]

How bad is the penalty for weapons in the legs during a jump?
