So misprinted Mech Fluff from TRO: better or worse.
TROs somewhat notorious for misprinting/interpretting or had changes in mech construction compared to the actual MUL loadout. Here are some examples (from TRO3025 1st edition):
Spider: "One version supports only a single Aberdovey medium lasers and TWO Arkum lasers mounted on each of its arms. This is used primarily in Davion-controlled space." SDR-5D. One (official) vs two (unofficial) flamers.
Cicada: "Of these, one was not equipped with the small laser system but carried TWO Hotseat Flamers and One carried a Donal PPC on the center torso and two Speery/browning machine guns". One (official) vs two (unofficial) flamers for CDA-2B and centerline PPC for CDA-3C
Exterminator: "Kallon insisted on upgrading the 'Mechs missile system to a Delta Dart fifteen-rack. The extra space created in the left torso by retrofitting a standard engine in place of the original 'Mech advance engine made this refit easy." LRM10 rack (official) vs LRM15 rack (unofficial) for EXT-4A Exterminator
From TRO3050, 1st Edition
QKD-5M Quickdraw: The Magna 300 provide the Quickdraw with a topspeed of 86.4kph - a 30% increase over the top speed of the QKD-4G Quickdraw. (A bit of stretch but this would implie either the original Quickdraw was slower or the new QKD-5M was faster even though they both run at 5/8)
So any variants better or worse with the new loadout?
And have you found any similar mistakes and descrepencies.
