Re: I present the Atlas Assault BattleMech! Round to profit on all but Speed...helps alot. And you can squeeze a 4 OCV out of 3 & 1/3 by that rule, as I understand it.

Re: BattleTech Heat Sinks Yes? No? Maybe?

Re: BattleTech Heat Sinks For reference, here's an Atlas' Weapon Systems...I worked hard to get the stats to match up right. These are accurate to scale, for range, and I have simply used the Damage and Heat as written, might need to scale the damage up, but it's right as far as it goes.

Re: BattleTech Heat Sinks Here's what I've got. Adjust REC by # of Standard Heat Sinks. This is from the Atlas I'm statting. It works great with the Ammo Explosion and Uses Endurance Limits on the weapons.
