Talk:Battle Armor

BA-Equipment

Could someone please compile a list of all the weaponry and equipment, that can be installed into a BA? So far, the BA-weapons (Small Laser, MG, AP Gauss, SRM, OS-SRM...) are scattered among the Mech-weapons, with no hint for their dual-use. The articles for BA-equipment (search light, stealth, improved stealth, fire-resistant armor, jump booster, boarding claw, magnet claw, vibro claw...) are entirely missing.
I'd do that myself, but as I have no official materials, I couldn't guarantee either accuracy or entirety. --Detlef 06:20, 6 February 2009 (PST)

For one thing the Elemental is not the only Clanner Battle Armour, several Clans have their own specialized models according to the MechWarrior RPG books and Funcom Clix game. The Elemental is merely the most common one in encountered and the only one used (to my knowledge) during the Invasion. You might also want to point out how maneuverable they are and how that helps against something like an Atlas. Single Elementals have been able to defeat such foes with their maneuverability. Also I'm not exactly sure if you want to put in how they completely eclipsed conventional infantry in the clans (rather apparent by the by the way old warriors with nothing better to do than die become infantry, and other expendable cannon-fodder types, and that in rules (specifically I can cite Total Warfare page 40) IS have more skilled conventional infantry).
