Bob are you taking a Physic's class? All experiments have an active and controlled part...here we are doing the controlled to see if your theory is true IN ALL cases.
Your points are that ALL vehicles are better then mechs and mine are that vehicles suck as written when compared to mechs.
Level 2 is fine since that is standard tournement legal Battletech and I wouldn't want you crying foul over some lack of having an out or something similar.

If that's so, I have no quarrel with you.

And Bob, I don't take orders from you so please stop thinking you can give them. And your last line could be taken as a threat to my person...so maybe you should stop and consider what you are typing in the future...

I've taken physics. And biology. And chemisty.
Control has nothing to do with the point at hand. We are establishing the normal state of affairs, not modifying it.
Furthermore, we are not making an experiment, we are having a contest. You cannot disprove my thesis without trying against BOTH hypotheses, can you not see this?

Nope this is not over. The battle will prove things. May I suggest you spend the weekend getting to know your book vehicles, which you need to post so I can see what you are going to use, really well so that you can't use the crutch of I have not used that before etc...as your way out of admitting your idea and theory is flawed.

Your point was all vehicles are better then mechs for the reason you posted, and so with that in mind your theory should be vaild all the time if it correct, and if it is then BOOK units will do nicely and fairly.

My point is not that. My point is that a properly designed and implemented vehicle force can consistently defeat a given force of 'Mechs, given the present rules.
Do you quarrel with this point?
Yes or no?
I will quarrel with the point you're quarreling with.
"even though the rules support it" introduces a contradiction, making it logically false.
Surely you don't think I'm fool enough to present an absurdity as my thesis?

Stop putting words in my mouth. It's a really annoying habit.
Answer my question. My point, as stated....do you quarrel with it?
>>>Your point was all vehicles are better then mechs for the reason you posted,<<<
This would be as MIND-NUMBINGLY IDIOTIC as claiming that any 'Mech was as good as any other. Both 'Mechs and vehicles can be poorly designed, and this decreases their efficiency. A Pike (a notoriously bad vehicle) would be easily defeated by a Masakari, true?

I agree. But since he wants to here are the mechs I took all standard mechs straight from the TROs. No changes:
Highlander
S-hawk
Panther
Falcon
Now one would think that Bob's comment that vehicles can beat mechs would apply even to book units, but he wants to use custom home units...talk about stacking the deck...

Yes I am against it because the rules as written don't back up your points.
Nothing you said gives vehicles any advantages over mechs in the long run since they are hurt severly by the to hit table and the fact that the damage is all applied to one area each and every time the vehicle is hit. Then add in the other facts like a lose of a location means the vehicle is dead hurts them as does the internal crits which for the most part takes them out of the fight for any number of reasons.

You are nuts...your point is that this applies to all vehicles vs mechs, either go with the Book units fighting each other or post a new arguement on the idea that the vehicles can be imporved or some thing...cause you are blowing a lot of smoke here...

Again, Karagin, I have stated my thesis. Will you dispute with me what that statement was?
I will state it for you again, in the simplest form I can imagine.
Given that a vehicle is properly designed, and given that it is used with appropriate skill, it can consistently defeat a 'Mech of equal tonnage.
I ask you again, do you quarrel with this thesis? If not, we have no argument and this whole thing was a simple misunderstanding.
Positing an absurdity does not give me an advantage in an argument, unless my opponent accepts it as true, at which point I can prove anything.

YES I quarrel with it because the vehicle construction rules leave out things that should be common on vehicles and the rules dealing with damage to the vehicles favor the mechs.
Can you prove that this wrong?

I can beat you with stock vehicles.
However, if you beat me, you do not prove YOUR point (more correctly, you do not disprove mine through exclusion), thus I would suggest you make an allowance for BOTH of my premises.

Ok... take a tank and a mech... both with say 10 tons of armor a targeting computer and a Guass rifle... tank has a turrent to it has 2 tons of Armor in each location PLUS a few internals...
The mech... can divide that up... but regarless It only has 9 points armor in head with 3 internals...
Fire a Guass at Each one... both hit... Hitting the Mechs Left leg... and it hits the tanks right side... Tank moves to protect that side... Mech can't protect ANY side except front and back torso's... Next hit... Tank get's struck in fornt side no biggy... Mech loses It's leg... Down he goes....
Ooops lucky shot on each... Turrent locked facing left... wow... now it can strafe fire rather effectively
Ooops there goes the Mech's head Flying into the Wild blue yonder
