CASE II

CASE II is an experimental version of standard CASE, designed to further reduce the debilitating effects of an ammo explosion or Gauss rifle explosion.

Description

There are two versions of this under development: one by the Inner Sphere, the other by the Clans. The Inner Sphere version weighs one ton per location. The Clan version weighs a half-ton per location. Both types take up one critical slot in each protected location. CASE II works like standard CASE, preventing an explosion from damaging the center torso of a 'Mech if installed in one of the side torsos, the more advanced version venting more of the damage out of the 'Mech away from the internal structure. Unlike the classic Star League era standard CASE, Inner Sphere CASE II also mimics the standard Clan version's ability to be installed in the arms, preventing any explosion in the arms from affecting the local side torso.

CASE II is only available for BattleMechs, IndustrialMechs, aerospace fighters, and conventional fighters.
