The Jump Jets for some Heavies are incorrect, looks like your spreadsheet software is auto-incrementing.
You mean I can't put 7 JJ onto a Warhammer?The Jump Jets for some Heavies are incorrect, looks like your spreadsheet software is auto-incrementing.
actually the Rifleman has quite good loadout options for it's tonnage. Comparing it to a 15 ton heavier mech (which only gains 6 tons of loadout space) is simply stupid, although it shines a better light on the good ol' RFLThat's not really what I mean by the colors on the available tonnage... that is mostly indicating the best tonnage choices of a given speed, with some honorable mentions for near-best options at the top of a weight/initiative class, and some SLDF cheaters with extra tonnage.

So for example the Rifleman doesn't have particularly good tonnage because a 75-ton Marauder, for example, could move just as fast as a Rifleman while having 4-6 more tons available.
Fixed that, thanks for pointing it out!The Jump Jets for some Heavies are incorrect, looks like your spreadsheet software is auto-incrementing.
Not sure what to say to that, besides "no, it's not". But you do you.Comparing it to a 15 ton heavier mech (which only gains 6 tons of loadout space) is simply stupid
You forgot to add the Battlemaster BLR-1GB. It's a LosTech variant that you can find in the black market on Mechdur.
Not unexpected given the BLT-1GB was new in the update released just yesterday! It was updated fairly quickly after Heavy metal came out so hopefully the same is true this time around
I didn't know, I started playing Heavy Metal earlier this week and was checking the shops for good gear. I could only find the completed BLT-1GB mech for a steep 23 million, so I figured I'd check the chart to see if it was worth it. Does anyone know which of the new mechs are worth buying? I've been buying the Griffin-2N's salvage pieces so far just to get the double heat sinks off them. They're less than half the price of the Atlas II salvage pieces, so it's a pretty good deal.
Mostly agreed, but a 50-ton 4/6 still has five tons extra space over a Royal Crab, since the only weight-reducing tech it has over a standard Crab is the engine DHS, and it still has the bigger engine for faster speed. If you have the extra DHS you could come out ahead on a Hunchback or Centurion or something, if you're willing to lose the speed and make a compromise on cooling - maybe three or four tons of DHS covers you, instead of all five, and you can use the extra free space for a bigger gun. That's probably the only case where you might still be better off with a non-Royal machine, though.Everything with built-in DHS is now a must since it's essentially extra flat 10 tons of space in terms of SHS.
Bit of a shame they didn't add more Lostech mediums actually since there are now only 3 optimal choices for the 55 ton restricted missions. Particularly, TBT-3C Trebuchet with DHS, XL Engine and Endo-Steel would fit nicely with the Lostech Crab, P-Hawk and Griffin.

Dang, still not updated for 1.9.
Anyone know of a complete chart anywhere?
I posted a quick list of the new mechs here:Dang, still not updated for 1.9.

Thank you!Sorry for the delay guys, I dropped the ball on this one. It's updated now!
