would the trade off of frying your pilot brain be worth it for increased combat effectivenes??=
what if it didnt have the primative construction?
>>65509114Then it's just those hair clips Asuka wears in Evangelion.
Spamming BTfags begone.
We should make a board for mech stuff with all the battletech posting. Maybe call it /m/ or something.
>>65509130>Then it's just those hair clips Asuka wears in EvangelionThat's the direction Battletech should have taken. Plugsuits and hair clips instead of the crash helmet and flight suit. I miss neurohelmet BT. >>65509133/k/ is and always has been an Battletech board.>>65509537>/m/Serious business like Battletech has no place on the mecha board. It's all animu BS.
>>65509537No, because then weebs would just post faggoty anime mecha instead of based and manly Western Battletech mechs.
>be me>aerospace pilot>drop bomb on battlemech>he can't do shit to me because his "long range" missiles only have a range of 1,000 meters
>>65510931Battletech is supposed to be gritty and used, not sleek and sexy. No skintight plugsuits and cute hair clips for Mechwarriors, just uncomfortable cyberpunk helmets and your undies if it's too hot in the cockpit
>>65514888>be me>mech pilot>bomb get intercepted by the advanced laser>ANYWAY
>>65514888>have to be close enough to wave hi to the ground in order to actually hit anything with a bomb >eat an ERPPC through the cockpit
>>65509106>frying your pilot brainNeurohelmets don't fry your brain, only direct neural interfaces do that. Worst thing a neurohelmet can give you is bad vertigo.
>>65514888>Get nicked by an AC/2>PSR>PSR>PSR>Lawndart.
>>65510931uh bro BT is still pretty extremely anime. LAMs will never not be canon and you simply cannot rationalize the way a Phoenix Hawk or Stinger or Wasp moves without it being extremely anime. BT is NOT mechwarrior movement(generally) >>65515297This. Wearing a trash can on your head and being in your undies is way cooler than advanced plugsuits, although those do sorta exist anyways in setting. I think the clanners have them. Regardless, nothing is ever gonna be a hot female mechwarrior piloting a mech wearing nothing other than a helmet and her undie bottoms because it's hotter than shit in there
>>65515304>Universe where mechs exist>Precision munitions don't.DUMB AND GAY
>>65515297>>65515473Trashcan BT will always be best, as I posted. I really don't like the crash helmet and flight suit look of contemporary BT. >kvetching about LAMs while posting Hatchetmen
>>65515381That's explicitly a primitive neurohelmet, which did fry your brain.
Stop bumping your off-topic /m/ thread
>>65509537Nah, it'd never catch on
>>65515297This guy gets it
>>65517973This mechanical design is such shit
I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I love battletech. But reading anything after the FedCom civil war is like repeatedly punching yourself in the dick. The fluff went off the fucking rails
>>65517978Mechanical design of what? The helmet?
>>65518000Wake up anon. Its 3059 and we're dropping on Port Arthur soon. We'll be in the first wave and get to have all the clanners for ourselves.
>>65517894>kvetching about LAMs while posting HatchetmenYou misread my post because I never said I don't like the anime-ness of BT, in fact I actually like it a lot. People forget even that mechs in BT aren't even like gundams that are fully mechanical but actually even more like evangelions since myomers are artificial muscles that allow for very organic movement of the mechs>>65510934ironic shitposting is still shitposting anon lmaoSpeaking of anime, look, Battletech Vincent Rally! Same artist as well from when he worked on art for the translation of BT into Japanese
>>65518000I don't mind the lore and especially the current lore that much, but I also haven't read to much especially in the later eras as far as novels go so idk if the boots on the ground setting is retarded. The ilclan era is interesting as clan Mary Sue, excuse me, the Wolves won and claimed Terra, but nobody really cares because they have their own shit to deal with. I personally like playing the most modern era because I like all the new tech and new mechs. The Eris and Hammerhead are both very cool and I like them a lot. Also modern variants of the older mechs like the Phoenix Hawk 9 or the Wolverine 9R
>>65517973I'm saying I prefer old-school BT, too, or slick plugsuit style. Just not the current BT style. Pic related, propa kit.
