I'm continuing my work on expanding my 11th Atrean Dragoons force and picked up some Achileus battle armors.

Achileus

Anyone have any experience fielding them?

They look so delightfully '90's. Somewhat Bubblegum Crisis adjacent.

“…I need you to take the oil fields using Stuns and flight pods for air support. Ensure none of them are damaged in the fight. Their production capacity is crucial for next years plans. I will lead the forces to take the capitol personally. Succeed Commander and you will have a special place in my cabinet.

Do not fail me! This I command!”

We've decided that Athena very much prefers fire-resistant armor for her point. One part tired of being set on fire for the umpteenth time. One part gleefully striding through an inferno with a manic grin on her face.

Now we just have to narrow down the choices

[medium] Salamander (anti-infantry) Pros: maximum RIP AND TEAR if the magnetic battle claws don't get you, the 10 heavy machine guns at point blank will Cons: only enough armor to comfortably fend off a medium-class laser

[medium] Elemental (fire) (AP Gauss) Pros: pretty ubiquitous very comparable to the standard Elemental suits she first started on longest average range of all primary weapons

[heavy] Stormbird (Jade Falcon) Pros: 2 points more armor than the Elemental SRM3 with 4 rounds of ammo plus the same AP gauss Cons: only a 60-meter jump distance can't make leg or swarm attacks against mechs

[assault] Ironhold (anti-tank) Pros: enough armor to tank a gauss rifle or or clan ERPPC double-fisting BA LBX autocannons means the point is packing effectively a pair of LBX 20s Cons: SLOW, can't jump, can't ride on omnimechs can't make leg or swarm attacks against mechs

[assault] Golem (support) Pros: 18(!) points of armor means you need an AC20 to oneshot one of these suckers and they can tank 3 inner sphere pulse lasers 2 anti-infantry mounts back up an Advanced SRM6 with 6 rounds of ammo. Meaning better range and better clustering than standard SRM launchers. Faster running movement than any of the other battle armors Cons: can't jump or ride omnimechs can't make leg or swarm attacks against mechs
