BATTLETECH: The Gunslinger

Рет қаралды 17,730

Күн бұрын

The #Gunslinger is truly a monster amongst #Mechs. This brutal #Clanbuster is one of the first of its kind, at least made by the Great Houses.
The #FederatedCommonwealth, and #DraconisCombine, or rather, #HouseSteiner, #HouseDavion, and #HouseKurita came together during the #ClanInvasion to stop their mutual enemy, the #Clans themselves, and eventually began codeveloping machines too.
Whether it be #ClanJadeFalcon, #ClanSmokeJaguar, or even other powers like the #RepublicoftheSphere, all have learned, wisely, to fear these #Gauss Platforms upon seeing them.

The base Gunslinger is a fascinating design. On the one hand, it feels streamlined and min-maxed with two gauss rifles, ECM and a bunch of lasers. On the other hand...Active Probe on a slow fire support unit, two out of three possible jump jets, no CASE anywhere in sight, uneven lasers and fire arcs...it's such an odd mech.

@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285 Ай бұрын

Case is pretty moot; the rifles are the only reactive element and they're in the arms which are going to probably absorb the brunt of the explosion.

When Starleague Era weapons were re-introduced to the Inner Sphere, the Houses concentrated on upgrading existing designs. Then slight modifications based on older designs. After the Clan Invasion the Gunslinger represents mech design focused on overcoming the technological gap between the Houses and the Clans. Whole new designs created with a clear enemy in mind.

United we stand.. divided we fall... And with that out of the way, I made three updates for the Gunslinger (one for each house that was involved with its creation). For the Draconis Combine: a Clan-tech ER PPC for each arm, with the Medium lasers upgraded to Inner Sphere ER versions, an Angel EMC Suite with Bloodhound Active Probe, all with an 340 XL engine with 18 Double Heat Sinks in total to (try to) keep this Mech cool. For the Commonwealth, each arm will get a Light Gauss Rifle with 1 ton of ammo and CASE II each, the Medium lasers are swapped for Re-engineered versions, an Angel EMC Suite with a Laser Anti-missile system and jump jet are in the center torso, and 15 Double heat sinks round up this one. For the Federated Suns, a Large Re-engineered laser in each arm, the medium lasers are swapped out for Light PPC's the engine is bumped up to a 340 XL with 18 Double heat sinks, each leg gets 2 jump jets, and a Laser Anti-missile system is added to the head.

I have an interesting relationship with the Gunslinger. When I started in the tabletop a few years back, I became obsessed with Rasalhague its history, so my intro to the Gunslinger was from their lore, which curiously doesn't mention its Fedcom/Drac roots, but instead as a gift from Comstar to maintain the line at Tukayid. I ran Awesomes as proxies, and had to guiltily not play them until later eras when it was less of a "Rasalhague" mech due to how my playgroup viewed Gauss as OP, let alone 2. Didn't learn until about a month before this video of its true roots 😂.

The thing with the GS, is that while I can't fault it's combat abilities, it does fall prey to the problem that a lot of late 3050 mech's had; stuff a gauss rifle on it and if you have the tonnage put another one on it. Which don't get me wrong is effective... but it also led to mech's being very samey.

I'm a but surprised that the Gunslinger didn't inspire some cost cutting equipment. I created a variant using all I.S. equipment and a standard 255 Fusion engine.. It mounts 11 double heatsinks, 15 tons of standard plate, Case II on both torsos and 3 jump jets. It also mounts twin Guass Rifles, 6 tons of ammo, 4 ER medium lasers as two ER small lasers replacing the medium pulse lasers. Sure it's not flashy, and the Internal structure construction can be a bit tricky, but it's cheaper and in some ways has superior battlefield endurance.

I started using the C3 variant as the two fedcom states don't have anything like the Naganata or Tai sho. I used sup par Avatar and Templar variants generally as my master then I discovered this.

Sorry if I already posted about this, but I found out about the Gunslinger after similar anti-Clan mechs loaded with Gauss Rifles. I think its good, but I also know about a whole assortment. The triad of Cerberus, Gunslinger, Pillager jump mechs are a bit too similar for my tastes. The Gunslinger is kind of the middle-child between the faster Cerberus and tougher Pillager. The only real design flaw with the idea is that the heavy dependency on Gauss Rifles. Thankfully they do carry a LOT of ammo, but of the three only the Pillager has an alternate big gun and thats just a single Large Laser. If the Gunslinger had an ER PPC that would be great.

The Gauss Rifle should be a Coil Gun, because it´s named literally after the man how created the fundamental idea for what later became the Coil gun, AKA the Gauss gun. Carl Friedrich Gauß (that´s a "sharp s", you can simply write him with "ss") was a german scientist living from 1777 to 1855. Doesn´t BT have railguns too, just as ship weapons?

The Gunslinger is one of the many mechs that came from splatbooks *after* the Clan Invasion and FASA apparently realized they broke the game. So all these "new" old mech came out with Gauss Rifles to even the playing field somewhat between the Inner Sphere and Clans. Cerberus, Devastator, Dragon Fire, Excalibur, Falconer, Gunslinger, Hollander, Huron Warrior, Nightstar, Pillager, Thunder Hawk, War Dog, and most of the came in Technical Readout: 3055. I like and dislike this era because so many of them are very similar. These mechs were made before the likes of Light PPCs and ER Medium Lasers came out, so while they have these big gauss rifles, theyre backed up by assorted wimpy short range weapons.

this feels like what a lot of over optimized clan mechs are for the IS. Wonder how much salt this made that one guy have who chose to collect clans when they were just blatantly OP in the tabletop Also why does everything the combine touch have a charger or Samuri themed cockpit? I feel the designers forgot along the way that the Jenner is a national symbol of pride for them
