I've pointed this out before: but per the current rules, any weapon with at least a range of 8 actually has a range of "to the horizon", targeting just gets harder and you have some damage dropoff. So no, per the rules Earth DOESN'T have a range advantage. Also, my understanding is that...

. . . I'm not going to get into my opinion of Clan Wolverine, but, frankly, they're a setting bugbear that needs to die, and further, why should they ally when they could just take what they want from Earth? Just because they were the "less evil" group of Clanners doesn't actually change the...

Why would people purchase our shitty, designed to last only three to five year consumer electronics? They'd have no way to guarantee replacement, couldn't fix it themselves because there's nowhere to buy parts or effective distribution to purchase parts from, and while they have higher...

Again... you all keep handwaving "oh these modern Earth weapons are equal or superior to BattleTech", but you constantly keep ignoring the stated advancements in material sciences that BattleTech has. For instance, Endo Steel is explicitly stated to require zero gravity manufacture and...

Yes, they can swarm them, but not really fast enough to make a difference. Even with the lead in time of being able to see them coming from the jump point, remember that dropships can just alter their landing approach at the last minute to avoid any major concentrations of forces and land in...

. . . Do you know how much armor a typical dropship has? Firstly, Dropship armor is rated in aerotech scale, so when you look at Sarna and see these small numbers listed you need to multiply them by TEN to get their equivalent armor values for normal BattleTech... A Union, for instance, has 18...

. . . BattleTech literally has both of these advancements already. A large reason for the neurohelmet being bulky is that it's a combined blast helmet / neurohelmet (no, seriously, if you look up the stats for neurohelmets in the RPGs, they count as heavy armor). Meanwhile ComStar and the...
