Modern [[BattleMech]] and [[Combat Vehicle|vehicle]] '''armor''' plating was originally introduced in [[2470]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]]<ref name="TMp205">''TechManual'', p. 205, "Armor"</ref>. Described as ablative by design, armor is generally destroyed or blown off when hit, but in the process of doing so, it absorbs enormous energies, protecting the unit on which it is mounted. While powerful hits will still rock a vehicle, there will be little—if any—internal damage as long as armor plating still remains. Armor-piercing rounds do exist for certain weapons, but they require a higher technological level and a higher cost. As a result, destroying a 'Mech requires either immense firepower, concentrated fire on a vulnerable location, or a lucky hit.

Standard [[BattleMech]] armor is composed of several layers providing various degrees of protection and support.  The most-external layer is an extremely strong composite of titanium alloyed with steel, the result of crystal alignment and radiation treatment, resulting in a characteristic that is very brittle.  The second layer is a ceramic, cubic boron nitride, which—when combined with a web of artificial diamond fibers—acts as a backstop to the steel layer. These two layers rest atop a titanium alloy honeycomb structure, which provides support, and a layer of self-sealing polymer sealant, which allows for zero-pressure and underwater operations.<ref name="TMp33">''TechManual'', p. 33, "Armor"</ref>

Noting the ablative nature of the armor, most vehicle designers have designed the armor for quick repairs.

BattleMech armor

Description

Modern BattleMech and vehicle armor plating was originally introduced in 2470 by the Terran Hegemony.[1] Described as ablative by design, armor is generally destroyed or blown off when hit, but in the process of doing so, it absorbs enormous energies, protecting the unit on which it is mounted. While powerful hits will still rock a vehicle, there will be little—if any—internal damage as long as armor plating still remains. Armor-piercing rounds do exist for certain weapons, but they require a higher technological level and a higher cost. As a result, destroying a 'Mech requires either immense firepower, concentrated fire on a vulnerable location, or a lucky hit.

Standard BattleMech armor is composed of several layers providing various degrees of protection and support. The most-external layer is an extremely strong composite of titanium alloyed with steel, the result of crystal alignment and radiation treatment, resulting in a characteristic that is very brittle. The second layer is a ceramic, cubic boron nitride, which—when combined with a web of artificial diamond fibers—acts as a backstop to the steel layer. These two layers rest atop a titanium alloy honeycomb structure, which provides support, and a layer of self-sealing polymer sealant, which allows for zero-pressure and underwater operations.[2]

Noting the ablative nature of the armor, most vehicle designers have designed the armor for quick repairs.

Manufacturing

Armor for BattleMechs & vehicles is manufactured on the following planets:

Notes

Game Rules

In game terms, armor is repaired at the rate of 15 minutes per point of armor.[142] Players familiar with BattleTech video games —like MechWarrior 3 and 4— might be used to even faster repairs by mobile field bases (where a damaged 'Mech is apparently repaired in moments), but the computer games represent repairs differently than the tabletop game.

Notes

  • This article refers to a common object and addresses the object as a common noun. The preferred term is "armor" (except on section titles & table headings, where "Armor" or "Armor (BattleMechs & Combat Vehicles)" are favored).
