BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge/Equipment

Values used in the game

The weapons of this game are not fully understood. The Player's Guide that came with the game did not give specific ranges or damage amounts for any weapon. The following descriptions of range were given on page 24:

• Close, 0-90 meters (1-3 squares)
• Medium, 91-300 meters (4-10 squares)
• Long, 301-600 meters (11-20 squares)

additionally, the following comments were made in the Guide:

• Autocannons are rarely effective beyond 600 meters (p103)
• PPCs / ER PPCs / Gauss Rifles / LB-X AC are inaccurate at close range (p104 / 105)
• ER Lg Lasers and ER PPCs have “extended range” (p104-105)
• LB-X Autocannon has 20% more range than a standard autocannon (p114)
• LRMs are accurate only between “about 150 and 700 meters” (p115)

It has yet to be determined what exact weapon ranges are in this game.
