Real World

The Comments section makes a number of comparisons between battlemechs and the real world. So, requests came in to show how the "real world" would function within the Battletech FASAverse. This section gives that a try.

Criteria:

• The vehicle construction rules will not be used. Weapons, equipment, armor, etc. on a unit will be based on what the actual vehicle carries.
• Basic Battletech logic for weapons will not apply. The actual performance of weapons will be used. New rules will be added or existing rules modified as needed.
• Speeds (Cruising and Flank) will be based on the effects of speeds on weapon accuracy, not on an arbitrary (x 1.5) formula.

Special Rules:

Each vehicle may have Special Rules which apply to its unique situation. There is also a set of Real World Rules which apply to the "real world" designs.

Designs:

M1A2 Abrams

M1A1 Abrams

M1 Abrams
