120kph on the QE2

General

After Leduc the speed limit is now 120kph… I’m thinking I’ll get to Calgary in less time.

And then I was sad when it ended after 50km or so :(

Chassis Known; variant unknown

Wonder if there is gameplay where at the beginning of the battle you know what chassis you are facing but not the variant; you only really find out when they start firing their weapons.

I am considering doing this mod for my next HBS playthrough where the names of the mechs are known but no attached variant name.

You can only find out what loadout they have after engaging or sensor lock-on.

So misprinted Mech Fluff from TRO: better or worse.

Lore

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
