Precision

From BattleTechWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Precision ammunition can be used in standard autocannons and their lighter cousins. At the expense of mass, scientists from the Federated Suns managed to modify autocannon ammunition to accommodate a gyrojet shell that can correct its course in mid-flight. Debuting in 3062, precision ammo soon found its way into the armies of other nations.

In CBT play, precision ammunition grants the firer a -1 to hit modifier. This comes at a cost, however, that of only being able to carry half as many rounds per ton (round down).
