Manticore's biggest weakness is that medium laser taking it over the 10 free heatsinks and effectively costing 4 tons. It should be replaced with another SRM6 and a ton of ammo, or just more armor.
They clearly went with the Medium Vibroblade to save on space as the big three melee options would all take 3 more slots which it didn't have to spare. Additionally, when deactivated it has the same damage as a Sword, so if the TSM is active and it was not it could deal 80% more damage.

New Earth proved very much pro-ComStar, and was actually pro-Word of Blake during the Blakist era. It was also the inhabited star system both physically and economically closest to Terra and it had a serious dislike for the Clans, as we've seen even after the demise of both the Republic of the Sphere and Comstar.
I don’t know if it was my comment in particular, but I asked for the Uraeus and Kheper and there the mechs are. Also, a possible reason for the bombast laser is because you can fire it at different levels of charge to finesse your heat generated. Which can be useful with the triple-strength myomer.
Mechs and tank's occupy the same niche (armored cavalry). But a modular tank chassis is infinitely more versatile, being useful for combat, armored recovery, troop transport, and mine clearing. No matter how modular mechs get, even if tanks weren't somehow cheaper, they'd still always have a place on the battlefield and not be replaced by mechs.
An OmniMech will do troop transport, you have plenty of mine clearing ammunition you can use in a BattleMech, they are far more mobile... Tanks exist because they are easier to build and easier to crew.
@@ProfessorHeyTeeEn I've never really heard of a mech acting in a transport role. Surely you don't mean a rumble seat, or those times soldiers physically hang off the sides of a mech. I guess the old cyclops carries the command bunker backpack. Though I'd wait until it gets deployed before going inside.
The Vedette really annoys me because there's no reason for it to be 50 tons. If you just drop it to 45 it not only works without changes, but you could add a half ton of armor. Maybe it's an artifact of old construction rules changes?
I enjoy all of Professor HeyTeeEn videos 🎉🎉😅
Thanks for this it’s the first time I seen anyone do BattleTech corporations 🎉🎉🎉

I adore the Manticore, partly because Parti-Kill is the best brand name of any PPC in the Inner Sphere.

There ought to be a small violent Decepticon with that name too.
The facing the Manticore in the HBS game started my love affair with tanks in Battletech, and started me modding to add more.

I would need to play with one and the options available, but I don't think a vibroblade was the right choice here.

Replace it with machine guns for anti-infantry work, I think it would be more reliable.
@ProfessorHeyTeeEn thay also works, or the second ton of srm ammo can be inferno

You bringing them up let me think of what I needed to do to close the door on the Celestial series. Thank you very much.
ah new earth trading company. you think they would have learned by now and not had all their factories on new earth

Is it just me or does the Vedete tank looks very similar to the tanks Cobra used in the original GI Joe cartoon and toys?
The best funded, least effective terrorist organization determined to rule the world.
It has the same kind of profile as a HISS, yes, especially in that old image I used on the cover of this one.
@@ProfessorHeyTeeEn thank you I thought I was the only one. 😂
