Defensive Factor

Find the 'Mech's highest possible targeting modifier from movement, stealth armor, etc. Compare to Defensive Factor Modifier Table TechManual, page 315. BattleMaster with TSM can move a maximum of 8 hexes when running. If equipped with Stealth Armor, it has a +2 to hit modifier. This gives it a maximum To-Hit modifier of X.

Defensive factor Value from TM p. 315.

Subtotal F * Defensive Factor Value = TOTAL DEFENSIVE BV

Heat Sink Rating

Total heat dissipated per turn:						14
									+ 6
Maximum heat from movement:						+ 2 (running)
(Running or Jumping)
-----------------------------------------------------
									Heat Dissipation Subtotal

Heat from Weapons

Total heat generated if all weapons fired at maximum rate in one turn:

* Rotary AC Heat = Listed heat * 6
* Ultra AC Heat = Listed heat * 2
* One Shot weapons = Listed heat * 0.25
* Streak SRMs = Listed heat * 0.5

Mech Heat Efficiency

		Weapons Heat Subtotal

		Heat total

Heat Dissipation dissipates all weapon heat

Add BV for all weapons and ammunition.

Heat Dissipation dissipates some of weapon heat

	Heat Dissipation Subtotal
	- Highest BV weapon's heat
	-------------------------
	
''Insert a table here to organize?''
	
	Continue this process until Heat Dissipation Subtotal reached.
	
	Weapons listed as part of this process are counted at full BV.
	
	BV for weapons that are not counted in the Heat Dissipation are multiplied by 0.5.
	
	Rear firing weapons (torso, leg, head-mounted) have their BV multiplied by 0.5.
	
	Add Ammunition BV (Ammunition BV may not exceed the weapon's unmodified BV.)

	Weapons linked to a [[Targeting Computer]]: Multiply weapon BV by 1.25.
	
	IndustrialMech:
		Standard IM targeting system:	BV * 0.9
		Advanced IM targeting system (BM targeting): BV * 1.0

-------------------------------------------
							Weapon BV

Add Mech Tonnage

	Mech Equipped with TSM: Tonnage * 1.5 = Tonnage BV
	Mech lacks TSM:			Tonnage * 1 =	Tonnage BV
	
	Weapon BV + Tonnage BV
	

Speed Factor

Speed factor calculation = Running MP + (Jumping MP * 0.5) +1 (If MASC/BattleMech TSM)
Consult '''Speed Factor Table''' on [[TechManual]], p. 315 to get Speed factor.

Multiply Weapon BV by Speed Factor

Weapon BV * Speed Factor = Offensive Battle Rating

Final BV
